Most training programs I see have you doing your longest run two weeks out and doing a race pace run of about 5-7 miles the weekend before. I'm concerned that you might not be able to get as full of a recovery by going that long so close to the race.<BR/><BR/>Brick workouts will definitely get you ready for a duathlon. Just do them sparingly because they will really take it out of you. I found that the only bricks that work well for me are higher intensity ones where I'm simulating a race transition. That's where your legs need to learn how to run after pedaling for a long time. Often, you just need to run a mile or two to simulate the muscle transition. Doing steady state bike/runs just seemed to not give me much benefit because I would save too much on the bike and then not be fresh for the run. The most important thing is to have a reason for every workout, even if it is specifically for easy recovery. Junk miles are just that...junk. <BR/><BR/>Good luck and great job with the run.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378547566593756176noreply@blogger.com
