looking at 2 weeks of no running due to calf
have a bike trainer as well as being an experienced swimmer with pool access. Currently training for mid distance races in april and need some advice on the best way to approach cross training over next 2 weeks while I let my calf heel
Since you are injured, just keep the intensity low and the volume high. If you wanted to, you could probably just jog through the calve injury.
Current plan
Monday: 60' on Bike. Possibly with some 1' on 1' off in the middle
Tuesday: ~2500 in the pool. 900 WU plus 200 repeats with low rest
Wednesday: Bike. 90' at a steady pace
Thursday: Similar to Tuesday but with a different main set
Friday: Bike. 75' Easy
Saturday: 1:45 on Bike
Sunday: Off or Easy swim
Repeat with slightly different workouts. Idea is to have one swim workout with longer reps and one that is shorter and more exploseive.
On the bike have 3 gos. One that is a short fartlek and one that is more tempo type feel and the last is just an easy ride
I have trained for tris before so this feels like it should be good for aerobic development without making my calf injury worse. I just need to be careful about ushing off the walls when swimming.
