I’m wrapping up my base phase and I’m planning a century next Thursday.
My usual plan calls for resting Mon, biking tues and thurs and swimming/running weds/fri.
How would you recommend altering my plan (if at all) to incorporate/prepare for Thursday’s century?
Thanks
Wouldn’t change anything, except to maybe scale back the Friday run if you’re particularly fatigued. But really, you didn’t give enough information to make an accurate assessment.
100 mile ride at IM race pace is really not that hard of a workout, it better not be considering you have to bike 112 then be able to run a marathon in the race, you dont need to do anything different the day before, a lot of people do long run saturday, long bike sunday since sunday is the lowest traffic day of the week
.
I used to be on an eight day cycle with two bike rides in the 100 to 120 mile range and two runs around 18 to 22 miles. I would usually just swim the day after.
