How to properly skip a year of triathlon racing

Yury, there are many, many ways to do this. Here’s one method:

Stitch together multiple 80/20 offseason and shorter plans with a week or rest in between:

Triathlon Racing Weight 6 weeks
Run Endurance 7 Weeks
40K FTP Boost 12 weeks
Run Endurance 11 Weeks
Triathlon Maintenance 12 weeks

That’s 52 weeks if you add a rest week in-between each plan.

I’m a little confused by your conflicting posts… In one post, it seems you are looking to skip a year of triathlon training but then in another you talked about doing a marathon while still training for triathlon?

What are your goals… Do you need to rest, recover, reboot, get back in the game mentally? Do you want to specifically improve at running, Spend more time on a training life balance? Train for but not compete in triathlons..etc., and so on…Each will direct you to a different approach to training…

David, this wasn’t a comment on your response…that made al lot of sense, the original poster (yuryshafirin) had two posts. This one, which was “how to skip a year of triathlon racing,”and the other was “how to run a marathon while on an IM plan.” To me, these seem to be the complete opposite of one another.

I was just curious as to which way they were headed and simply thought that a careful examination of their goals might be helpful to determine how to either take a break, or train for a marathon while doing an IM plan….
