hi,
A bit of short background:
I was Ironman athlete, 50-miler until 2012 when I took a break. Kept working out just not rigorously or structured. I’m came to 80/20 from doing 6 months of structured multi-sport training that was 7 days a week.
May 2021- Aug 2021, 7 days/wk 2 weeks on/1 off cycle,
Sept – Dec 2021, 7 days/wk 3 weeks/1 off cycle
Usually 2-3 days a week running, 3-4 cycling, 2 rowing. strength was also a part of it 2x week
I plan to run an ultra and signed up for the 100k Level 1 plan with strength. The shift is increasing my body’s capacity to adapt to running and recovering. I’m in week 2 and notice next week is already a recovery week which feels early. The volume so far has been fine, could go up a little.
I’m wondering if I switch to the Level 2 plan OR
change the cycle in the Level 1 plan to 3 on/1 off, see how I feel and if still feeling easy move up to Level 2.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Adam
