IMC Race week schedule

What is training week from Sun-Sat? I am a MOP and am wondering how much or how little to do this week.

I don’t know about anyone else, but IMC is my second IM.
Sunday- Off
Monday- 1 hour mountain bike/45 minute swim
Tuesday- 5 mile run
Weds- 30 mile bike/3 mile run
Thursday- Flying to IMC
Friday- Probably a 15 min. swim/30 min. bike
Saturday- 15 min. run

Most likely:
Sat 18 swim and bike portion of an Oly (relay)
Sun easy run - maybe 1 hour also a little bike
Mon - drive a lot
Tues - run for 50 minutes or so, then drive a lot
Wed - drive a lot - bike a bit - run a tad - go for a little swim
Thursday - bike, either to OK Falls or up the back of Yellow Lake; swim a tad
Friday - jog a tad; swim a tad; bike a tad
Saturday - take it rather easy
Sunday - the same as YOU!

.

Here’s my plan for race week (I used it last year for my first IM):

Sun - 60 min run at IM race pace
Mon - rest
Tues - Bike 90 min easy, swim 30 min endurance
Wed - Run 45 min easy-moderate
Thurs - Bike 120 min easy, swim 30 min endurance
Fri - Swim briefly at race site
Sat - Short brick (15-20 min swim easy w/1-3 short sprints, 30 min bike easy w/1-3 short sprints, run 15-20 mins with 1-3 short sprints. Don’t get tired out. Off feet the rest of day.

I have a plan like yours a little of this a little of that.

Sat - 3hr ride mostly at IM pace, 20 minute brick run
Sun - probably swim a bit, maybe short spin on bike or maybe nothing depending how I am feeling recovery-wise
Mon - Master’s Swim
Tues - Fly to Race, 1hr easy spin on bike
Weds - 30’ swim at race, 35’ easy run
Thurs - 30’ swim, 40’ bike with a few segments at IM pace
Fri - off + stay off feet
Sat - 15’ swim, 20’ spin on bike just to loosen up legs + make sure everything is working, then stay off feet
Sun - 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run, then eat an entire pizza and drink two bottles of wine

Sounds like a great plan. You forgot ther “brag for the rest of your life” part though :slight_smile:

Best wishes.

I like this plan. Just enough to keep busy without doing the race before the race. The after race will have to wait till Monday night. I know I will be too wiped to appreciate the fine BC wine.
