Hey Scott,
Thank you for the reply. I ended up consulting with a coach since I had some other questions as well. Andy was very helpful!
For clarification on the original question:
-I started the first ultra plan last ~October
-After the first 4 week block, I ended up deciding to aim for a later race and work on my base longer. Added a few months of pure base work.
-Jumped back into the plan at week 5, but the race I chose takes place 2 weeks earlier than the plan “Race Day”, so I needed to cut out two weeks / fast-forward the remainder of the plan.
Thanks! I will continue the base progression, ramp up the volume, and leave out the ME/Hill Sprints for now. When I add them back in, I’ll reduce the volume as prescribed in the original plan.
I’ve tried kicking on the side of the pool and that actually seems to exhaust me nearly as much as the kickboarding, just keeping my legs afloat. I’m sure my technique is not great (been following cues I’ve seen on Youtube), but I’m also guessing my hips are just not conditioned well enough. I’ll try doing it on the side of the pool until it feels easier.
Appreciate your time 🙂
Dan
