I posted this on the TR forum as well but thought i might cast a wider net here.
For the past 3-4 years I’ve done the full IM plans and along the road I’ve done HIM’s using the fitness build up for an IM.
2019 has me doing 70.3TX in April and IMAZ in November so I can actually target both with good buildups and treat both as A races.
I’m 2 weeks away from finishing SSB2 followed by ski trip. Then I’m planning 8 wk build. So the HIM builds I don’t like. Mid volume is too easy for me and high volume has the 4-5 hr long rides that I don’t want to do. I usually do my own swim and BarryP run workouts. The mid volume general build looks very intriguing and I’ve never done that plan.
Has anyone done that plan in route to a HIM or IM? Would love to hear your opinion. I understand sustained build plan and tri specific plans are more targeted to triathletes, but I feel like trying something new. Most likely I’ll go this route but wanted to see if anyone has tried it?
