7th week of base: 24 weeks to IM Austria

Another week has gone by and Monday (normally my rest day) is often a convenient time to review the last few days and plan the following week ahead.

In terms of volume I had another successful week cracking out 2 hours of swimming, 5.5 hours of cycling and 2.5 hours of running - still a little bias to cycling at the expense of running and also missing my regular brick session (cycle / run combination).

The following week is a little heavier than normal (based on plan from Don Fink) and my interpretation is as follows:

Mon - Rest day and review
Tue - Run: 1 hr coached track session
Wed - Club swim - coached (1.5 hr)
Thu - Run: 1 hr 15 mins Z2 + Brick session: 45 mins on turbo Z2 / 15 mins run Z2 (2 hr 15 mins in total)
Fri - Run: 1 hr 15 mins recovery Z1-2
Sat - Club swim - coached (1 hr) + 1 hr turbo: 100+ RPM Z1
Sun - Cycle: 2.5 hr Z2

Total for week: 2.5 hr swim; 4 hr 15 mins bike; 3 hr 45 mins run - total of 10.5 hours - biggest week so far!

Also keen to do some basic strength work and stretching to complement the heavier training volume.

Is there enough hours in the day?
