Hi All,
Just wanted to know what people do on a down week?
Ever since Moo I have been doing frequency S/B/R 6 days running 3-4 bikes nothing over 50miles.Swim 3to4 times.
So far this week I am taking 3 days in a row off. Cant believe it myself. But the overtrained signs are there/tired/grumpy(really)/tired!
Tuesday-mastersswim
Wednesday-bike trainer-1hour
Thursday-Run 6 miles to 1 hour.
Friday off SaT off.
Then start back up with base training on Sunday.Long Run/ahour run/45 min run/2-30 min.runs
2 bikes to 3
3 Swims.
May take December as a down month.Do you think thats necessasary?
This is my own plan based on frequency. Does anyone use a off season plan?
I dont want to burn out for next year. Florida Im is a long way away.But my goal to age group place at Timberman and Florida. I guess I am afaid of losing one once of fitness.But I do know its good to do that!
One thing about frequency is that after a year. I am starting to see results! I had my fastest 6 miles Turkey race ever! No speed work.(Running with faster friends) Well I am running in the hills(speed ).
Do you believe I am ok with base/frequency training low heartrate? I know people can take time off. But I have to keep it moving at least one workout a day! Today Pliates!
Thanks I look forward to peoples thoughts on this!
