Thanks ladies. I don't want to violate copyrights or anything, but here's a sample 2 weeks from the middle of the plan:
Week 9:
Monday: Off
Tuesday: 40-min easy run
Wednesday: Tempo run, 3mi
Thursday: 30-min easy, easy run
Friday: 1-hour lap swim
Saturday: 20-30-min easy run
Sunday: 19 mi long run
Week 10:
Monday: 30-min water running
Tuesday: AM 40-min easy run
Wednesday: Tempo run, 3 mi
Thursday: 30-min easy, easy run
Friday: 1-hour hilly easy/moderate run
Saturday: 2+ hour long, easy bike ride
As you can see, it's actually a lot of running in the core part of the plan. They substitute lap swimming for Fridays off, and have water running on the recovery days. A lot of the cross-training present in the beginning fades out toward the middle except for the long rides and swimming.
I hope that helps. Wish I could paste the whole thing but I think that'd be bad. It was written by T.J. Murphy, who I assume is the same T.J. Murphy of Triathlete.
