I did a search and couldn't find any suggested tips here for a taper for a SPRINT.
Quick Background
Haven't raced in 5 years. Started one 70.3 in Sept. 5 years ago and bailed on the run. COVID hit and allowed me to go from 215 down to 178-180ish. While covid has had a terrible impact on many, I was grateful to be able to reset and get myself back together. Since late march I started doing T25 workouts, which lead to running which lead to biking and swimming (pools thankfully opened in Dec.) and then I bought a bike (another).
Here is what I have done since Saturday and what I am thinking. Correct me if I am wrong. I want to do well. Primary goal is finishing and being happy with my result. Secondary goal is to be competitive.
Thanks!
I did a hard TT of 10 miles last Saturday. Did a 5 mile warm up there, TT and 5 mile cooldown home.
Sunday: Took day off
Monday: Ran 6 (split of 3 on treadmill in AM and 3 outside in PM)
Tuesday light ride with hills worked in
Wed (Today): Goal to run 3-5 with some sprint efforts (tell me if I am wrong)
Thursday: Swim
Friday: Run
Saturday: Bike (question of how hard?) and swim
Sunday: Off?
Monday: Swim
Tuesday: Run
Wed: Ride (light and easy)
Thursday (Swim)
Friday: simple run or ride
Saturday: Swim
Sunday: RACE DAY
Thanks for your input.
