Hello,
So I did some searching on this topic and got sucked into a 2009 Noakes, Coggan and Day thread about salt intake which wasted ALOT of time so I thought I would just post the question.
What are people's thoughts about staging a long (I know this varies from person to person) training weekend before an IM? How many weeks away should it be done to get the most benefit and I guess to do the least damage? Is 3 weeks too close? It would be a bike focused weekend.
Anybody experiment with this and have success/failure stories to share?
If using a PM what "kind" of rides should be done?
Thanks for your time!
BB
