:-\As the season is quickly approaching, I am needing a bit of advice about ending weight training and starting some tempo/intervals for the race season.<br /><br />I have been doing weight training in the gym during the winter and I am in my strength phase.I plan to do some power work in the gym shortly and to have at least 4 weeks of power work before the season starts.<br /><br />Im still not too sure about when to end or cut down the weight training and start tempo/intervals.At present I am getting long endurance runs at the weekend and go to the gym 4 times during the week(working each body part twice).I get out on the bike twice during the week, either on the trainer or on the road, for a couple of hours.Mainly steady, with some spin-ups, jumps etc,but no high-end stuff.<br /><br />My first 'A' race is end of March and there are some less important ones from the beginning of March.I thought about continuing weights until end Feb, and using these races for training.Starting some intervals training the beginning of March(preceded by few weeks of tempo).<br /><br />Any suggestions about when to start tempo/ intervals and to cut down or finish weight training would be appreciated.<br />
