I’m trying to decide if it would be viable for me to complete the 70.3 in Geelong (in 8 weeks).
My longest ever race was Noosa at the start of Nov (story here) followed by a local sprint race a week later. Since then my training has basically evaporated (except for the Microman Challenge attempts).
All I would be trying to achieve would be to complete the distance in a relatively* comfortable condition and come out the other end having enjoyed the experience rather than never wanting to do it again. I have no time goals.
Given the short time frame and lack of recent training, is there any advise for what I should be doing over the next couple of weeks? Is there anything in particular I should focus on, or any tests that I should do early on so that I can try and work some sort of program out for that? I have a HR monitor but no experience with HR zones etc.
Cheers,
MC
* perhaps this is impossible and that it's going to hurt regardless
