So, not really considering one or the other A/B race, I have a 70.3 (Les Sables D'Olonne, France) on July 5th next year and then a full Ironman (Kalmar) about six weeks later.
Off season is about to end, and I'm going to start structured training again next week. I was planning on using a program aimed at Ironman distance, 8-10ish hour pr week, TSS in the 500-850 range over about 40 weeks. General sessions of about one hour, longer endurance rides/runs in the weekends (up to about 5h rides, 2:30h runs).
So, the question I guess I'm asking is:
To be able to perform optimal in BOTH races, should the training be Ironman-oriented or 70.3 oriented?
Ambition-wise, I'm not going to qualify for Kona, however a 70.3 WC-spot could be within reach if I have an optimal race and I'm a little bit lucky with the roll-down. The ultimate goal however is to secure enough points to be AWA for 2021, which probably means I should prioritize the full distance.
Anyone have some advice?
