Training Plan - Week 43 - October 22 to 28

It is very late in the year to be racing but this doesn't seem to have occurred to the ETU and they have arranged for the European Championships in Ibiza this week. 

Might actually turn out to be a sensible time of year for it as the temperatures are still up in the 20's. That could even mean a non-wetsuit swim for the Aquathlon Champs. Not ideal, but might make it interesting. It is already going to be an unusual race for me as it is a deepwater start 1,000m out into the sea after getting ferried out to the start line.

This all results in some funny target numbers this week. I have left in swim and run miles to cover reccon, racing and tapering. I have left in a small cycling number to try and encourage me to hire a bike and test out the ETU cross triathlon course the day after my race. 


Targets - Swim 2.2 miles, Bike 12.0 miles, Run 14.0 miles.
Stretching session x2, Core session x1, Weights session x0.

Physio sessions x1. Yoga session x2.
