I recently completed my first full season using 80/20, including the maintenance plan last off-season, a short racing weight plan, and then two 19 week blocks of level 2 70.3 plans leading into races in June and October. I’ve had a solid year and seen great progress.
Heading into this offseason, I’d like to focus on my swim technique (I’m a classic adult onset swimmer) and bike power. For the swim, my goal is to get into the pool about 5 times a week, doesn’t have to be high volume, but high frequency. And primarily work on technique, including some drills. For the bike, I’m thinking two key workouts a week doing hard intervals will be helpful in building a base of power for the next season.
With those goals in mind, what suggestions do you have for modifying the maintenance plan?
