      Lynda,

      I'm sure you've answered this before, but I can't figure out how to get past page 4 of the old forum posts. I'm just starting Cat 1 Base Plan.

      Q: I don't usually run more than 6 miles at a time. If running is OK, how would you work it into the XC Cat 1 Base Plan?

      Thanks, Pat

      Pat,

      The best way to include running is to replace an equivalent bike workout with a run.

      Also, a short run can be inserted to the plan before any strength session as a warm up.

      If you have time and energy on Sunday, at the end of your week, after your ride, you can insert an extra run session. Be honest with your energy level as the Cat 1 plan is tough!
