travel and training
hello folks,
i am looking for some advice. i will be traveling abroad from the 9-22 of january and the only leg of the training that i will be able to do is the running 
. would you have some advice as how to progress/train during these two weeks. i am upset about not being able to bike and swimming is generally not a concern for me. any ideas on sets, etc.? i am currently on the november group.
thanks so much, and i hope you guys are having a good end of the year time training hard and smart.
best,
sandro

Hi Sandro!
Rich posted a thread with some basic guidance over here: http://endurancenation.us.dnnmax.co...fault.aspx
I'm in a similar boat- I'll be traveling for a week in Jan with no access to a bike/pool. So I'm interested to see the feedback you get.
I plan on following the guidance above and going a bit bike heavy the week before I leave (doing the "outside biking" option in the OS that week) and then just doing the regularly scheduled interval runs while I'm away- adding some easy runs on the other days for frequency.
Where are you traveling? I have had good luck renting bikes in some locales (particularly in the south) for training. Might not be spot on Z4 for 15 min, etc, but can be a lot of fun. I usually call around to be sure I'm not going to get a left over beach cruiser and make a reservation with a pick-up time, etc. Has worked out well for some nice rides in San Diego, San Francisco, New Orleans, etc. In each place got a reasonable road bike (Specialized Allez) and brought my pedals.
thanks for the link/advice. i am going to brazil and i will be staying near some beautiful beaches (just working, but definitely with some time to chill), so nice places to run. if i add run sessions, what intensity am i looking at?
best to you all,
sandro
Sandro,
when I'm on the road and need to substitute runs for bikes in the plan, I'll go for something like 3 x 1mi at Z4/TP for hard days, and otherwise some Z1 runs to keep up the frequency.
