Hi guys!
I'm looking for a training plan that can help me achieve my goals for my two A races this upcoming season, which I KNOW are inherently different.
1st A Race: June 5th, Sprint Triathlon
2nd A Race: August 29th, (first) 70.3 Middle Distance
I have 2-3 B races in there as well. I should add that I've only done sprints before and one olympic distance and I'm much better with shorter races overall. However, I did sign up for the middle distance, just to give it a try once. There's 13 weeks between the two tris, so I feel like even though I'm quadrupling the race distance, it should be manageable. Since it's my first 70.3 the focus is more on finishing than placing, for the sprint I definitely want to place, seeing as that's my strength.
My question: can somebody possible help me in finding a training plan that I can start using now? I know I should be looking at different mesocycles and I'm finding it impossible to find anything that's focused on basic endurance / winter training right now (since all plans are a maximum of 25 weeks it seems.) Or maybe you guys can share how you're training currently, if you have similar plans next year. I know I should focus on technique, strength and easy endurance for maybe the upcoming two months (?), but I can't find anything specific. I could use a somewhat generic plan and probably tweak it to my needs I think.
I appreciate any input you may have! Thanks in advance!
