Just went back to have a look at the stage profiles after the original route release and there doesn’t seem to be any mountain top finishes or true GC days until the end of the second week?
I know it’s tough to see from profiles and it comes down to how the teams want to ride but a bit frustrating to have to wait so far into the tour to see pog, Jonas and sexias go at it!
Currently training for a half marathon in 8 weeks and then a marathon in 8 weeks after this.
Aiming for sub-3 in the marathon and 1:24 in the half.
I ran a 18:10 5k 6 weeks ago.
I have been doing NSM for the past 6 weeks and have another 4 weeks planned.
I am finding the training very conformable at the moment doing 120km/week with up to 2 hours of ST running.
I was thinking of doing some Canova over/unders and more high quality work JD style in the month preceding the half. Should I just stick to NSM or can I implement higher intensity training which I have had success with in the past?
