Breck100 and Firecracker 50

[pcoady]

Lynda,

I had to change my goal from CTR to Breck100 – CTR interfered too much with family. I switched to the 100 miler PR plan 7 weeks ago.

2 questions:

1) The Firecracker 50 falls on Week 11, Day 3. How would you adjust the big weekend riding prior to this (hopefully minimally impacting my Breck100 fitness)?

2) Should I just recover 2 days after FC50 and then hop back on 100 miler PR plan until race day?

Thanks, Pat

If you want to peak at Breck 100 I do not recommend racing FC50. I do recommend sticking to the plan.

1) If you do race FC50 do 1 hour recovery rides on week 10 day 6 and 7 instead of the final big volume push before your Breck peak of 2 x 6 hour back2back days.

2) If you do race FC50 take 3 days off after it, then one 60 min recovery ride then get back on plan week 11 day 7.
