Hi all,
I'm doing my first IM next year, cabo, in march. I normally do short courses and a 70.3 a year. My 70.3 time is around 5 hours + teens. Time is limited with family and work, but I've been training about 7-10 hours a week for the 70.3s.. My peak weekly run volume during my previous training has been 35 miles with my long run about 10 miles.
So for the IM, I'm hoping to do under 12 hours .. maybe aiming too high lol. I'm upping my training to 15 hours a week.. My weekly run is now 43 miles with my long run at 13.1mi. I'm following barryp running plan.. What should my peak run volume be in order to be well prepared for an IM? I was thinking 55mi with long run around 17mi? Or is that too low?
