3hr bike ride done this afternoon and now I am doozing away on the couch 😆.
Always the same dilemma:
Too tired to do anything useful, too early to go to bed 😴

The only time I find a 7 day cycle not convenient is when you want to do 1 rest day in between running days and you always want to run on the same weekdays. That won't fit.
But that is something an 8 days cycle won't resolve either 😆

This is what Google Gemini has to say about it:
"Wat are the advantages of an 8 day training cycle?"
-
Improved recovery
More flexibility
Reduced training stress
Potential for more frequent training
😀

Interesting.Do you know what the specific benefit for that was?

That is an interesting approach which I will gonna explore.
At this moment I am still juggling with all the options exploring and experimenting what works best for me.
I know that I am fragile for injuries as far as high intensity running concerns.
So I am exploring options of doing all the high intensity work at the indoor bike trainer and for running only long slow distance.

And about becoming counter productive from a certain level.
That is certainly something to be aware of. For years I overreached in bike training just because I loved to be on the bike every day. But only when I cut down the training time my heart rate became more volatile again and performance in terms of power output was improving again. Also now I am getting older I notice I need more recovery time. That made me wonder if there is enough time left in a week to do all the training

Clear, thanks.
I was trying something similar just as an exercise but since there are not much public plans for an 80km ultra I got a bit stuck in for example what longest long run to aim for.
Long time ago I heard a rule of thumb stating that 2/3 of the race distance should be the longest long run in your training plan. So that would make approx 30km in case of a marathon.

ok, but how do you determine which distances to run each day, what weekly volume you want to achieve, what your longest distance towards your event will be etc. etc.

ok, that's all for strength training as I understand. I actually mean for run training. What plan or app for example do you use to train towards CCC?

@npub1pwa…yw5r
I am playing around a bit with training plans.
What are u using? Specific app or home made?

Surprised by a rest heart rate of 40 this morning. That is 2 beats lower than my current average. Pretty pleased with the rest of the biometrics.
HR rest: 40
HR max: 176
HRV: 53

Well, for me the Garmin recovery time is quite accurate.
But there is a common misunderstanding about it. It doesn't mean you shouldn't train if you are not completely recovered. It is perfectly ok to do endurance workouts while there is recovery time left. Just don't expect to perform at your 100%.
So tomorrow I have my 2 hrs endurance ride while there is still some recovery time left ✌️

I underestimated the 12x1min interval workout of today a little bit.
Running 12 all-out sprints with only 1 min recovery in between is tough but fun.
Tomorrow another 2hr easy bike ride 😊

Thanks for reminding me to read it.
It is still on the shelf here but I forgot about it 😬

#sticktotheplan still feels difficult when you only have a 15 minute strength workout scheduled.
But I stood tall and did not do anything else 💪.
No rowing, no running, no bike ride, nothing.
Although I am still processing it...😵‍💫
