I do all my week day rides (2 of them) on the trainer upwards of 42 miles each ,, so about 2.5 hours each there. The 3rd ride is on the road on the weekend and was 57 yesterday,, I may hit 60 on the next 2 Saturdays before I taper. All my swim training is done on a Totalgym machine: Trust me, it works.. Can simulate very close to swimming in the water and my stroke strength is very good.. ha,, I haven't been in the water since last year in New Orleans in April (last years race)....I will get in the water soon here in the lake in central SC with a few swims to re-aclimate myself and I'll be good to go. My runs are always outdoors,, last week I ran 3- 10 milers..this week will do a 13 and a couple of 10's.
So last week I hit 6000 some "estimated" yards of swimming, 141 miles of cycling and 30 miles of running. A total of a bit over 14 hours.
That's crazy about not swimming. you have that set up at your house? sure would be nice to not drive to a pool...
hats off to you on the trainer sessions. I dont mind my 60-90min interval sessions on the trainer...but once I get up to 3 hours I start to get real bored. |
