I have been training for Quassy 70.3 using the Trainer Road plan as well as running and swimming at masters twice a week (all I can do time wise)
I modified the TR plan because it dropped the cycling drastically four weeks out and I felt it was too much plus I have a 138mi ride two weeks after Quassy I want to be in good cycling shape for.
I'm seeking advice on hours, I am three weeks out and last week I did about 13hrs of training as about the same the previous two weeks to that. If I want to try a 10day taper how much of a % reduction in volume should I have in that 10 days? I did a 4hr ride last weekend and pushed way too hard and was shelled for a couple days after. This past Sat I did a 3hr ride, paced it well off RPE and felt awesome. This is why I decided to modify the plan because I seem to recover well and can absorb the training quickly as think a 10 day will work for me.
Any thoughts? Questions that can help clarify anything? Thanks for taking the time.
