Long ride Saturday with a long run Sunday That is amazing kms.I take my hat off to you, I assume you are training for Ironman? Where do you find the time? What work do you do? I wake up at 5 to be at work at 7 in the mornings and leave at 5.I run in the evenings only at 7.

shaper Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) That is amazing kms.I take my hat off to you, I assume you are training for Ironman? Where do you find the time? What work do you do? I wake up at 5 to be at work at 7 in the mornings and leave at 5.I run in the evenings only at 7. Yes training for 70.3 in Jan (be my 4th) then full Ironman in April.... although pick key events throughout the year to keep the motivation going. (Apart from doing Tri's ...midmar, a few 21kms road races and most of the cycle races leading up to the 94.7 etc) Usually do 1 - 1.5hrs at 5:30am then 1 - 1,5hrs in the evening depending on what discipline. Does not always go to plan, legs still feeling it from the 94.7 this morning so was feeling tired and only did 40mins on the IDT. Weekends at the moment are 3-4hr cycle with a 1.5-2.5hr run on Sunday. As for total hours, if a recovery week is roughly 6-7hrs, otherwise 10-12hrs per week. I work 8-5pm in the construction industry but fortunately my commute to work is short (20mins) Edited November 23, 2016 by shaper IceCreamMan, Beesrib, ScottCM and 1 other 4
Tubehunter Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) If a bunch of you from Strava on the Comrades group get a follow request from some hooligan with a surname that makes his nickname obviously "The Grim", it's me!

(Just interested, as usually if I have to train I sacrifice some sleeping)
shaper Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 How much sleep do you get per night? (Just interested, as usually if I have to train I sacrifice some sleeping) Usually in bed 9:30-10pm latest... must admit as there no events for me till the end of Jan 2017 it sometimes becomes a struggle to get up in the morning.
SeaBee Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 My schedule simply don't allow for that. But I don't want it differently - unless I can do the same work from home, even if only some days of the week, which will save me 2 hours or so of sitting on the road every day. But hey, at least it's a beaut of a road in the Winelands...

My hours training are similar to yours. Most weeks 10 to 12 hours, last week was 15 hours. My recovery weeks like after Sowetan was 7 hours. While you are doing more cycling I am doing more swimming and running around the same. I am in bed by 8 every night but up at 4 AM to do some sort of training. My wife has no problems with my training schedule per se as I the majority of training is done while the family is sleeping and only my long cycle or if I am doing an event does it get in the family time....however...I end up declining most invitations to socialize as I cannot stay awake late these days... keeps me out of mischief and its sort of cheaper than hookers and coke so she is happy Andrew Steer and shaper 2
