Considering a change up in my training

Frightened Inmate #2

I've been running 45 MPW or so for the past couple of months (and I ran 2000+ miles in 2004). But, I'm wondering if maybe I could get the same results with the following...

Running ::
1 day of intervals
1 day of tempo work
1 LSD
and 2 days of easy miles

That would put me in the 35 MPW range with 2 day soff from running and free up more energy to devote to the bike. I really feel that if I were able to get faster on the bike, that I'd be able to have a better season overall. I had some decent run splits last year, but it seems that the bike leg was where I was losing time.

Opinions? Comments?

That is 3 hard days of running with cycling on top is a lot. I would alternate the intervals and tempo every week and have 4 easy runs. That you give you 1 speed workout and 1 LSD per week.

When you up your bike volume, you need to keep your running in maintenance mode.

I think the only way to find out is to do it.
