Modifying HIM plan for B race

jhpiii

Coaches - Next week is Week 15 of the HIM plan, and I have a Sunday half iron distance "B" race. (My A race is Eagleman on June 9) How should I modify this coming week before the race and then the week after the race? I want to "race" this one but not ruin my lead-up to Eagleman. Thanks

John, I think the best solution is to do the normal week through Wednesday. In plan of Thursday's long run (dropped for race day effort), you will do a 45' run with some strides at the end. Friday is OFF. Saturday is a short 30' ride and a 30' run (Back to back) with 3 x 1' hard in both disciplines. Sunday race. Monday off. Tuesday is swim only...Wed should be back at it. If not, then do the bike only, and pick things up with the Thursday run!
