Cycling during a Marathon Taper

RedB · 2010-04-09 11:40:55

I'm doing the Limerick Marathon on May 2nd and I'll start 3 weeks taper from this weekend (doing the Half in Connemara on Sunday). I'm also doing the HOTW Tri on June 26 so I've got 8 weeks between them. I've done very little cycling this season and I'm wondering how much I should squeeze in during my marathon taper…

I'm doing the Limerick Marathon on May 2nd and I'll start 3 weeks taper from this weekend (doing the Half in Connemara on Sunday). I'm also doing the HOTW Tri on June 26 so I've got 8 weeks between them. I've done very little cycling this season and I'm wondering how much I should squeeze in during my marathon taper without having much adverse effect. I'm only hoping to do the 45km cycle sub 1:30 so its more a case of getting time on the bike than anything else. Would 2-3 hour cycles during the taper mess me up?
