The first "Build" 4 week mesocycle is here. The theme is to get to handle the increased volume of all 3 disciplines. If successful, the second build mesocycle in April will bring the run volume up seriously while scaling back the swim and bike portions. This should allow the proper time to rest while getting the necessary mileage needed in the run. Remember that I am focusing on the Vermont 100 mile ultra this July. The move from general training to specific training needs to be done here. Any triathlons that I do during this 3 month build will be secondary to this goal.
But first, lets increase the volume on all 3 disciplines:
The first week is the peak swim. 10k of swimming next week. Here is the bike:
Bike peak is the second week of the mesocycle with 100 miles:
Run peak is 60 miles on the third week of the mesocycle. The 4th week is a relatively easy recovery before moving on to the second "Build" mesocycle. I can never say this enough, but rest needs to be built in to each cycle, no matter what to allow for balance and recovery.
On to next week!
