Hi Bryce and TR,
Asking for some of your awesome assistance again. I used TR to successfully train for my 2nd. IM 3 weeks ago. Having done 2 weeks of mostly nothing, and about a week of leisure activity (social ride, some running etc.) i got my eyes on a new target. Half Ironman 3 nov. Having vacation comming up over the next two weeks with only running available i will look at having 12 weeks of training (including race week) for the 70.3.
How do i best structure that as I dont feel like I'm all the way back at base training, but have also read several time that e.g. specialty is purely the sprinkles on the cake.
Do i do:
1) 4 weeks base 8 weeks of Build?
2) 8 weeks build 4 weeks specialty
3) Something else
4) something else etc.
The one thing I'm worried about is that the base/build does not have too many longer rides in them, but i guess a plan could be to subsitute some of the sat. rides with longer outside rides for endurence but stick to the midweek rides as per base/build, looking forward to what you would think is a wise way forward.
