The Catalan triathlete started on Monday 5 of March a maximum three-week cycle in order to kick off the competitions this season. In our special #RoadtoKona2018 Miquel He already advanced part of his season with us objective of returning to contest the World Cup Hawaii Ironman the next month of October.
Nowadays Blanchart He has 1.920 points, thanks to his fourth positions in the IM of Barcelona and the IM of Mar del Plata where he got 960 points in each test and to achieve the mathematical classification he would have to add more than 3000 points approximately.
We have talked with Miquel Blanchart who tells us in person how these three weeks of maximum load will be:
Well, as I told you, these it's going to be a crucial few weeks to finish deciding what will be the test that will give the starting signal in this 2018.
As you already know my goal is to be on the starting line of the Ironman World Championship in Kona (USA). So, without wandering around the bush, the first of these 4 weeks of loading we will give priority to swimming under the orders of Bart Kizieriwski (Technical Director of swimming at the CN.Sabadell), and following the orders of my coach and teacher Carles Tur, where we will stand with a 70.000m of water, 280km of 35 cycling on foot and a couple of gym sessions.
The 2 core weeks will be a rapid progression focusing efforts in cycling so that without neglecting the other disciplines, we will pursue the goal of 35.000-40.000m of swimming, 600km of cycling, 35-40km of race and 35.000-40.000m of swimming, 800km of cycling and 35-40km of running, with some session of gym for the safe means.
We will finish this base cycle with the same meters of swimming, going down to 280-300km of cycling and try to overcome the 120km of running, so if I survive decently, I might be venturing into the 70.3 of Liuzhou (CHI).
