J Hay - IMMD Prep-Training
I am prepping/training for IMMD on Oct 2. I did Rev3 Williamsburg as my half two weeks ago, and all went well. I am utilizing the minimalist beginner IM training program (is that what I should be using?). My questions.
Most important is I am going on a family vacation to Europe from July 30 - Aug 7th and will be relegated to poor hotel gyms. Will not have any access to a pool. I can probably squeeze in a big work out day on July 28th. What should I do?
A few more questions.
For my swims, I participate in a Masters Swim, can I use that for the swim workouts? For the mid-week bike works outs, they generally look like mostly interval training. I like the Sufferfest videos, and find they motivate me to work harder. Can I substitute one of their video work-outs with a similar work-out/time frame for those work outs in my training plan? Also, any thoughts about trail running for training? Not a clean surface but what a work out. Finally, my bike is my weakest discipline. Any additional suggestions on how to get better?
