Hi Lynda,
This week is week 12 of my base/weight lose plan. I want to move forward as you suggested. I want to start the 50 mile PR plan and then move to La Ruta plan as my main goal this year. I would need to start La Ruta plan on AUG 16 in order to finish by NOV 7. That way I would have about 2 weeks to taper including the last week of the plan before La Ruta starts.
That leaves me with 9 weeks from next Monday until AUG 16.
1. Should I start the 50 mile PR plan and keep it short by 3 weeks ?
2. would it be better to do the last 8 weeks of the 50mile PR plan only?
3. What is the best date to finishing la Ruta plan to taper properly?
Cheers
Jose
Jose,
Start the La Ruta plan on August 30th 12 weeks prior to La Ruta race start. The plan has a taper designed into it. Peak race week is week #12 of the plan. You will need to edit week #12 of the plan to fit the Wednesday start of La Ruta. Miss out the Tue – Fri workouts for that week. Move the Saturday workout onto Tuesday and Sunday onto race start day of Wednesday.
So this gives you 11 weeks from June 14th – Aug 29th. Miss out the first week of the 50 miler plan to make it fit.
