Hello all,
I have been toying with the idea of commencing half Ironman training again after nearly 1 year off. I am going to start with a 3 month block of strength building with kettlebells and low heart rate base building aerobic exercise. Tapering off the strength as the volume on the aerobic work increases, but recovery will determine this.
My question is, has anyone experimented with A +A style sprints with running and cycling? And any effect they have had on your overall training? I was thinking a 5-10 second sprint and recover with talk test in between, once a week for both running and cycling. I wanted to load In the volume slowly up to a peak 4 weeks before the race then do 2 or 3 all out workout sessions to get lactic acid buffering at maximum. This is all a general overview and I don't have a date set for a race, more than likely over a year out.
Any feedback on the A + A sprints would be much appreciated.
Thank you all
