OS to In-season Transition
Hiya Rich. I'm looking at the three week transition between OS and in-season training later this month and would appreciate your feedback. Here goes:
-plan is to finish week 20 (I know ...I still follow the old-school EN) of OS as a test/recover week.
-Week 1: I Have this week off work, so this will be a Epic Bike-mostly week, patterned as "2 days of 5h rides, 1 day 3h" repeated over three cycles. Salient point here is accumulating 6 x 5h rides during that time, and I've found this is what works for me at this time of the year.
-Week 2. This week is in Berlin DE, with no access to a bike. So, early in the week will be light running / swimming, with remainder of week as daily run and swim, with at least 2 x 'long run' type runs with a large dose of HMP included in there somewhere. No Tempo or fast stuff aside from strides. I'll attempt to accumulate overall running milage of what I would accrue in an average week + 10%.
-Week 3. Recover and test for earlier part of week, and try to hit longer run Thurs, long bike Sat and ABP bike Sun.
Then start in-season.
Make sense?
