Training program help

what is the best way to schedule 3 swims, 4 bike rides, and 3 or 4 runs per week … assuming you can do one or two workouts per day and your long ride would be on saturday and long run on sunday

The long ride/long run back-to-back will freak out some here. Depending on your definition of “long” you may want to rethink that. A long run doesn’t seem that hard to work in mid-week, especially with daylight savings.

And there is no “best” way. Probably many ways would get the same results. Some are just clearly better than others. :slight_smile:

It’s time dependent really…but for someone like me that has a pretty open schedule I’d do this…keeping in mind I always feel better running after cycling

Sun - short bike/long run
Mon - swim
Tue - bike/run
Wed - swim
Thu - bike/run
Fri- swim
Sat - long ride
.

This is my basic week, you could omit some workouts to get it down to 3,4,4. Make sure that you seperate your 2 BT (break through) workouts and be somewhat fresh for them. I’m not a fan of running the day after a long bike ride or other BT workout although it can be done occasionally.

Mon - easy long swim
Tue - lunch run, pm bike
Wed - long run (BT)
Thu - Swim pull sets- easy bike
Friday - short lunch swim, easy short run
Sat - Masters swim, Long bike/short run (could be BT workout)
Sun - Fun bike/run brick (could be BT workout)
