By Request
Nigel asked, "With 40 days until IMAZ, is the plan being revised again? How is the training looking wrt to completing the event?"
After extra recuperation post ski trip, I'll go with a variant of option (c) in the time remaining: three weeks of solid base work, 1 recovery week, 2 taper weeks.
Long rides and long runs are on track to see me through, per Gale Bernhardt and Rich Strauss. Shoulders won't be happy with the swim, but they get a long break afterward! I'll have to stay restrained on the bike.
I think the period of exclusively low heart-rate did well in building soft-tissues and promoted some bonk-resistance, but next time around I'll look for my base phase to feature smoother intensity ratcheting. Less-so Maffetone, more-so Hadd.
