January Totals (Page 3)

Not wanting to put words into your mouth but I think it's easy to read threads like these and worry that you're not doing enough.  In my experience it's not the athlete that has put in the most training hours that gets the fastest times in a race.

It's great that people are managing to crack on with training in the winter but totals are just numbers. 

I hit 70% of my planned sessions (weather and work cost me 30%) and I'm slightly ahead of my weight targets.  For me, they're the two numbers I'm focussing on for the next two months.

Not a criticism of anything on this thread, just a different angle for undoubtedly a lot of people looking at it and thinking 'holy cow, I need to get out more'

Feeling good about my progress so far:

Biggest training month ever - following my IM plan

Run:7h 42m 14s - 55.93 mi

Bike:11h 56m 24s - 212.36 mi

Swim:2h 30m 15s - 4.05 mi

Swim = 16,500yd

Bike = 5 hours on trainer and one short 20-miler outdoors

Run = 74.2 miles

Not nearly as much biking as I'd like (too many excuses to not hop on the trainer).  For swimming, I need more but considering I probably swam less than 30,000 yds all of last year, I am happy with this total so far.

A far cry from my pre-IMAZ training months, but triathlon training has just started again...(let me tell you, that first swim back was a DOOZY!!)

 *Had some time on the trainer as well...I average a little faster than 10mph

Could be better, could be worse.

yikes this thread makes me pretty confident that I need to step up my game.

Bike 7.47 hours - a lot is on the trainer.

Swim 13,000 yds

Run 46.2 miles

Best bike month for me, and still building!

It seems my total training hours are up there, my distances not so bad either:

Swim:  19,056.43 Yd - 9h 54m 50s 
Bike:  66.67 Mi - 3h 48m 31s 
Run:  223.88 Mi - 41h 01m 49s 
Strenght: 1h32m31s

Total time:56h17h41s

Getting excited for my 50k ultra (1st) in 23days!

My bike miles are all on the trainer so not sure how accurate that is but I was happy to at least be riding.  With the new work schedule having daylight hours is rare.  Also slowly ramping up my miles running again.  Feels good.

First month getting back into consistent training in well over a year.  Stinkin job got in the way!

Anyway, feeling a little worn today but expect totals to steadily increase from here.

First full month of training after finishing rehab in December. There will be a big change in swim for February, already at 5k this week!

Bike miles are off since they are mostly on the trainer and I don't record mileage.

Bike: 8h 10m - 43.6 Mi
Run: 19h 57m 14s - 136.9 Mi
Swim: 4h 19m 30s - 12784.86 Yd

First Month of IMTX training in the books. Came out of it healthy and very tired! It must be working.

Some of you guys are putting me to shame.  I started the month out with the flu, which did not help.

Bike-8.8 hr,  126 mi (most of it on the trainer)

Swim-10.1 hrs,  12,100m  Either the pool is longer than they tell me, or I am a very slow swimmer.

7 weight sessions

The good news is that my AT seems to be healed, so I can ease back into running this month.

Run: 6h 27m 04s  -  40.72 Mi

First month over 40 miles since injury last April, WooHoo!

I've done 1 tri, last August and this is my first year of training. Or working out seriously. I'm run focused now because I don't have a bike trainer yet and I haven't made it over to check out the Master's swim program 3 miles from my house. Training now for my first HM in April. I haven't run this much since high school. That being said:

Run: 55-ish miles, about 11.5 hours.

The peaking for IMNZ on Mar 2 is going very nicely!

Marathon Training

Did a 10k race in January.  Just getting back to Sprint Tri training, therefore the feeble swim total.  LOL!

Bike: 26hr

Run: 4 1/2hr (Achilles injury

Swim: 12 hr

Weights: 2-5hr.

 Pilates 3 hrs..

Good stuff.  I had my best monthly run volume since August, 2011.

Wow!! You are like the closest I've seen to a real life Forrest Gump.  You are amazing.
