Subject: Year to Year Training Volume

So I was going over my logs and realized that by the end of June I would have surpassed my run and bike volume from last year....by june...  I decided I needed a rest week because i've been carrying a pretty high level of fatigue.  I'm training for an Ironman in September, which is why I have increased my volume so much.  Is there a general rule of year to year volume increases or has anyone else dramatically increased there training like this and have any things to look out for?

a year is a long time. so I don't think there would be any issue in year to year volume increase, as long as you don't rush into it all it once, the 10% increase max per week is a good rule
