I was reading in the TTB that some pro's actually follow a training cycle more than 7 days. It is easier to fit in their workouts.

What makes 7 days so special?

I'm really am not interested in what I do in a week, but a cycle (8 days). In my cycle I have 4 bikes, 3 runs, 3 swims, 2 weights, 2 recovery days.

It would be nice if one could adapt their training logs to different cycle lengths.

Am I the only weirdo who does this odd ball training "Week"?

Well Randy, that sounds wonderful in theory and if I was a "Pro", yes, I may consider it.  However considering that the rest of our lives are ruled by a 7-day-week, I don't see how it can work for the average triathlete out there.

Good luck with the training.

I am not a pro triathlete but a pro stay at home dad. I may have a little more training flexiblity than most people who have 8-5 jobs.

I like the idea of an 8 day week. This would make copying the previous weeks data slightly easier, a quick scroll down to the bottom of the page reveals last weeks mileage and time rather than jumping back and forward between weeks.
