    How much do you train every week? Whether it be a few hours or almost every day we'd love to hear about it!

    • @BrageMack
      @BrageMack Год назад

      Between 10 and 16 hours usually

      During an Ironman build, ~15hrs a week. During a 70.3 build a little less 10-12hrs a week.
      I did 2 140.6 last year, this year is a 70.3 year only I think

      20-24 hours a week.
      Disclaimer: I have been running for years (and this is my second year doing Triathlons), so I've built up quite a nice aerobic base,
      I am in my 30s, single and no kids and a job with flexible work-times, so I do have the time to get this done, and still get almost the amount of sleep needed to absorb this,
      Hired a PT and told him to go as hard on me as my body can handle.
      We started with a year before the targeted race, currently in "Base 3" of my ATP plan, which lasts for 19 weeks 😅

      I train about 8-9 hours per week. And right now in Winter, I’m doing more running than swimming or biking…though I LOVE running, I can’t wait for Spring!!

      I probably train around 10-12 hours per week. A bunch of my hours are on the bicycle, and almost all of those hours are commuting and not very fast (so I'm not sure how much to consider it training or not). I do sprint distance triathlons.

    I train 10 - 14 hours a week. As an old age group triathlete balancing life and work I feel it keeps me just fit enough to enjoy the summer race season. One thing I will not do is compare myself to others except race day but it is all in fun. As long as I finish and not die it's a win. NOTE: that sure is a beautiful Canyon bike you have. I'll train harder for owning one of those. Cheers

    2 days "on", 1 day recovery, 2 workouts per "on" day at about 90 minutes per workout, and 2 weeks "on" with every 3rd week being recovery (which has 3 recovery days rather that 2 due to the recovery day rotation schedule). The recovery week I do the same workout schedule but reduce the volume by about 40%. I rotate swim, bike, run and gym work so that I get 3 runs, 3 bikes, 2 swims and 2 gym sessions each "on" week. Being that I'm 60 yrs old (and still work full time) its the best I can do.

    6-12 hours per week with work, two young kids and a dog seems to be the perfect balance for me. 9-12 hours a week leading up to a race and more around 6-9 hours a week for the rest of the year. Spread over 5-10 sessions over 6 days a week with one full rest day. Doing full and middle distance races.

  • @marcuswills6569
    @marcuswills6569 Год назад +4

    In previous years when training for half and full distance, I trained around 14-16hrs per week. I've now dropped the volume to 6-8hrs per week but upped the intensity for short course. In 2023, I've PB'd 3 races from 3 (running) so the lower volume and increased rest with my family and two dogs has done me no harm.

    I’m glad you mention about Zone 2 being hard to stick to. I can do it when cycling easily enough, but when I’m running, I find it difficult to run as slowly as is required, so I just run at the slowest pace that’s comfortable. Sometimes that straddles slightly into zone 3, but I just keep a close eye to make sure it doesn’t creep too far.

  • @saschamarkovic21

    13-15hrs is my usual training week with 6 training days and 1 off day. Mondays and thursdays are swim + run days, the rest is either swim, run or bike.
    Works perfectly for me

    I’m a junior triathlete from 🇿🇦
    I am currently 17 and train about 19-23 hrs a week.
    That includes:
    3-4 runs which totals to about 42-50km( my running load is very little! )
    5-6 cycling sessions which to about 10-12 hrs
    And 4-5 swimming sessions which totals to about 4.5-5 hrs

    With 3 kids and a full time job, I do 10-12 hours per week in preparation for a 70.3 distance. It represent 2 swim, 3 bike and 3 run.

  • @nickkenyon-muir3450
    @nickkenyon-muir3450 Год назад +1

    2 important extra factors to consider for this: 10 Quality of training, which make a huge difference and definitely help with doing more with less, and 2) genetics, which play a big factor in how you respond to training, how much training you need to reach your potential, how you absorb/recover and how much your body can take before injury. Also age makes a huge difference - as a 40 year old runner I could handle training blocks of 100 - 160km running for months on end but as a 54 triathlete peaking at 16-17 training week with an average of 11 hours per week for a long distance tri is about what i can handle and I'm getting good results on this. It would be great to do a video on the role that genetics plays in training!

    Considering it's their "normal job" it's still less then 9-5 type of work 😀 mine though 7-8h is very small compared to them , but I feel that as most of us having normal job and in addition in my case travelling in Europe, it's much more challenging to find hotel with treadmill or bike or area around for run during business trips and therefore I feel that I'm good at time management 🤣🫣
