I don’t start the 70.3 plan until Monday. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately; it’s been going well, no injuries to report:
I did a marathon with the level 2 plan in March which went well, took a week off, then started weeks 4-8 of L2 70.3 for a race in June. My wife had to have surgery, so I took a week off for that and deferred the June race to next year. Jumped on the maintenance plan from there and tapered for a sprint this past Sunday (first triathlon). Used the guidance in the book on race pacing, and exceeded my expectations for the race. And most importantly I had a great time. Taking this week basically off except for a recovery run to get ready for the 70.3 block on Monday.
