Background: I have completed to IM 70.3 races in 2019. 80/20 prepped me for the second one. I was well on my way to my races this year like most people, cancelled. I have a few races on the schedule for next year and am trying to figure out how to best get there.
I just completed the Triathlon Maintenance plan and it went great. I was able to keep to the plan and my gains in both cycling and running FTP saw major gains. To put an end to my season/training, I ran a solo half marathon at 1:42:37 a PB by nearly 8 minutes. I am still not able to swim as the pools in my area are still closed and it is too cold to get out in the open water. My 70.3 80/20 Level 1 plan is set to start Dec 29, 2020.
So the question is, what to do for the next 7-8 weeks between plans. I would like things to be a little loose, with the holidays and such, but don’t want everything I’ve gained in 2020 to be lost. I do plan to incorporate some strength work, but looking for recommendations on endurance work.
