Looking for advice on where to go for rest of season.

Completed Olympic nearly 2 weeks ago 2:25 - new PR, great ride, great run, all together great race.  I have been training, paces for all disciplines is 

Original plan was to do a 1/2 ironman in august but modifying to balance work and life, only doing olympic distance races this year

Two olympics on the calendar 7/12 and 8/30 which will probably be end of the tri season - goal is to make the 8/30 a AAA race.

Was thinking about loading up the short course plan to run for the next 13 weeks with race in middle to end on 8/30- should I go for the intermediate vs advanced? Or is there something else you would recommend?

Thanks!

    Hey David,

    Congrats on the PR! Since you just raced an Oly, you should do a block of the Get Faster plan, and then drop back into the SC plan about 5-6wks out. Recommend you use the advanced plan. Alternatively, you could use the Advanced HIM plan for that last SC race, just turning down the length of the long run to a hard ~1:20. I think an HIM-flavor long bike would be valuable for you. 

    In other words, you could beef up a tick the Oly plan for this second go-around, or turn the HIM plan down a tick. Up to you, either works. 

  • Ok, sounds reasonable to me. I've been going with week 6 and 7 of the Advanced SC plan. Then I'll probably meld the advanced HIM for run/ride withe the advanced short course starting in week 15.
    Thanks!
