Kim, such a bummer. I think that you are on the right track In terms of going slowly to keep yourself healthy. There's just no point in rolling the dice and ending up in a position where running is not an option at all.
I typically prefer that people run, one coming back, having warmed up already. So I like the idea of you sticking with the four bikes a week program with a brick run off of each one. You can imagine doing bikes on Tuesday Thursday Saturday and Sunday were Tuesday and Thursday are the same workout (from your Wednesday session) and then Saturday and Sunday are the usual rides. All the other sessions during the week on the open days are either rest or swimming.
I could see you doing that for about two weeks and then we can begin to transition to a program where you're doing some specific run workouts.
Question how to move things around for this weeks workouts. 3 weeks out my Chattanooga! I has an ER thing happen to me last week so i had to move things around. So Thurs and Fri last week I rested with a 40 min treadmill run to test things out (i thought i had a lung collapse which i didnt.. EKG and CAT scan shows I am healthy so thats good.) Major breathing pain in lung but it was decided that it was back muscle crap/spasm/fatigue. Anyways... its all good for the most part.
So sat I biked 2.5 easy ride with group and then did 1 more hour on trainer to get in more time. Sun felt great and had the chance to do a long ride with some other riders and did a 122 mile which I had to since the opportunity was there. I felt great but no brick after. Mon (today) I ran my 3 hours from last Thrus. Did 17 miles.
So do i just push everything down by a day? or move the tues run to a thurs? Realistically, I am not expecting to do the 112 next week since i did 122 this weekend but thoughts?
Yay for day off!! Thanks. I was not digging my swim this morning so whooo hoooo. I am taking it! Looking forward to rest of your advice for the week. Thanks so much.
I say you push the initial part of your week back...so...
Mon - OFF Tue - Swim from Monday Wed - Bike / Swim as planned but make bike best effort (just ride hard for intervals don't look at PM as the FTP won't be there) Thu - Run intervals as planned, some stretching. Window here in case you need to move the Wed swim. Fri - Swim RR + ABP bike (Can you do 1 hour swim, 2-3 hour bike?) or not....if not, then just Swim RR + a 45' run @ TRP Sat - Long Ride Day...call it 80 miles with focus on nutrition and best possible last 20 miles. Sun - Long Run from Tuesday (cap it at 13-14 miles)
