Did some quick searching and couldn't find what I was looking for.
Signed up for an iron distance race last year and couldn't end up doing it so deferred to this summer and despite life becoming the more important thing to focus on over the last 6 weeks (and losing a lot of fitness) I'm going to see if I can get ready for the race on 8/18/2019. I really don't want this to consume my life as I'm trying to get my priorities right and stop having triathlon dominate my life, so a low volume plan seems like the best way to balance training with life. (Going back to sprint/oly after this).
Has anyone used TR's low volume base/build/specialty plans? What are your experiences? Did it just get you to the finish line or do you feel like it allowed you to improve (if you'd previously done a full)?
I'd like to have a more structured plan on the bike so I can maximize training time and not waste my time on the bike doing junk miles. I would use their run workouts as a guideline and adjust to fit me. I'd also plan on moving Sunday's generally long run to probably Monday so I can keep Sunday free for time with my wife.
Background...31yo, been racing/training since 2009 and probably done 30-35 races, including 1 IM and 4 HIM. Went 15:18 at IMMT in 2014 and would love to be faster than that, but at this point, I'll take finishing this race without killing myself.
