Hi!
Big Shoulders is only 4 days away! :banana:
All swimmers who lurk/post here--see ya Saturday morning, bright 'n' early, Ohio St. Beach, Chicago! :applaud: And GOOD LUCK!! :cheerleader:
All you experienced OW swimmers/racers: Do you have any tips for tapering/working out this week?
I've been putting in 3,000-3200 yard workouts, with a few 2100 yarders thrown in, with a little running and bike riding on days when the pool was closed.
I had a 2600 yard workout this morning. Any tips for how to plan the rest of the week?
I was thinking of putting in two more swim workouts, tomorrow/Wed., 2000 yards and Friday, 1600 yards. I thought of having a short (5K-ish) run Thursday morning, and a short bike ride Wed. evening.
I'll be traveling to Chicago Friday afternoon, checking into the hotel and chillling Friday night (with maybe a burger 'n' fries at Ed Dibevic's ).
Too much? Not enough? Just right?
Thanks!
Unless you've got a tri planned soon after BS and don't want to lose your bike/run fitness, I'd drop the planned bike and run this week.
I agree. Rest the legs! Otherwise your (Andy's, that is) plan looks great. Get lots of rest and be well hydrated. See you on the beach!
