Auto scaling doesn’t take care of event specific workouts. While attempting a half marathon we should ensure these things ignoring the workout generated in the app
- Do a 18 km z2 run 2 weeks before the event with race pace last km
- Do a 16 km z2 run 3 weeks before the event with race pace last km
We should ideally have around 60 fitness 2 weeks before the event.
The ramp rate should be
- 2-12 weeks before the event : -50 to -30
- 1-2 weeks before the event : 0
- 0-1 week before the event : +20
Also don’t do the strength workouts in the week before the event
Recovery weeks have to respected. Don’t try to use them to ramp up fitness.
