Training Plan Update

Based on my original schedule, Week 13 was going to be my peak times: 43 minutes bike; 43 minutes swim; 87 minutes bike; and 52 / 28 bike run -- with two days rest.  Due to COVID-19, I've done zero swimming.  I've also modified things along away -- April 22 & May 3.

Well, let's modify this one more time.

  • Long run:  increasing by 10% in each of Week 14 & 15 (43 then 47 minutes).  BPM capped at 135, and week 14 and on running the longer of (i) 4.2 miles or (ii) my allocated time.  Decreasing to a 5K in a recovery week.
  • 5K:  Depending on how body feels, run either a 5K or another long run.  5K in a recovery week.  BPM capped at 135.
  • Short run:  continuing with intervals.
  • Long Bike (x2):  Continuing with my goal of 22-26 miles twice a week.  17.5 miles in a recovery week.
  • Bike / Run:  Targeting 60 minutes bike / 30 minutes run.  (Week 14 run 28 minutes.) BPM capped at 135.  In a recovery week, 45 minutes bike / 23 minutes run.
The long run and bike are 'overruns' for a sprint distance triathlon, so I think this is a good place to cap myself for now.  Once swimming opens, I'll have to do another rethink.
