197  | Subject: RE: What is your Bike to Run training Ratio? I am interested in what others are doing. Myself, I hate running, and my training (and my races) show it. I usually do about 10 bike miles per run mile. I'm usually pretty close to 1 swim mile per run mile. My goal each month is 10000 yards swimming, 100 miles biking, and 10 miles running. Due to weather around here, I am usually able to make my goal 7 or 8 months out of the year. In the last month I have decided that my run training was absolute garbage so I started over. I reloaded a Couch to 5k app on my phone, and started doing those workouts. I did skip the first week or so. J White |

Extreme Veteran 695 Olathe | Subject: RE: What is your Bike to Run training Ratio? Depends on the week, but I shoot for 45-65%. That has gone up over time as I try and get 5 to 6 rides a week. They may vary from an hour to the long rides on weekends, but consistency over time. |

[/QUOTE I was interested in what others do because when I started with the sport I got the advise that I should be at a 4:1 ratio. I assumed that was for distance and not volume. The way things worked out I was doing 5 hours on the bike and 3 running for about about a 3.6:1 ration based on distance. Now I am more like a 5 hour bike to 5 hour run for about a 2.5:1 ratio. A week ago I hit 3 hours on the bike trainer and 5 hours running for a 1.5:1 ratio. I see this downward trend as I have increased my run volume and and dropped the bike volume. I will likely get back to about 2.5:1 as I increase my bike mileage to train for races but was curious how many people actually used a 4:1 type plan, if the higher run volume plans were gaining more popularity over the higher bike volume plans, and what rules of thumb, if any, others had come across.

Master 8247  Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: What is your Bike to Run training Ratio? When I was working with a coach for HIM distances, pretty consistently something like 3/2/1.5 ratio for bike/run/swim. Maybe the run ratio is a little less for IM training. I did plenty of 5-6 hour rides; don't think any runs beyond 3 hours and really not a whole lot more run volume than for HIM. Most of the additional volume was on the bike; I already was swimming quite a bit for an AG triathlete. That is all shot to hell now that I am operating with one broken elbow and probably not racing a tri all year. Four weeks of trainer with no running, than am probably just going to focus on running as far as anything race-related goes, with some trainer riding and trying to get back to anything that looks like swimming and will keep me going forward and not sinking. |
