EmJayZA Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 This is very scientific sounding.. is this your own program or a coach written one? Coach. I don't have time to sit down and plan this stuff. He instructs. I do. The idea is to reduce duration and intensity to promote healing and reduction of fatigue, but to keep the legs fresh and firing (hence some of the threshold work).
BottelaryHillBuddy Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Easy threshold run today (3 x 1km, 4 x 500m)Tonight an aerobic endurance swim with a few threshold laps Tomorrow a 50min Wattbike with 4 x intervals at 105% of FTPThursday a 45 minute Fartlek (a few 1 minute repeats at threshold)Saturday a 20 minute swim and run I had to hold back today as my legs felt fresh. Yep our volume also decreased but we keep the intensity up, bike intervals last night and a track session coming up tonight. tomorrow easy swim with some short intervals, Thursday rest day for travelling and Friday some fartleks and a spin on the bike. Sunday its John Bailey and turnberry avenue

Also eat and drink plenty, cut back on caffeine so that you sleep well... these are also necessary as part of the taper week apart from shorter duration high intensity workouts
