Subject: RE: Moving up to Sprints Next Year - What should I be doing Offseason? I'm fairly new to tris too. I did my first one last summer, and have since done 2 more sprints. 5-7 hours a week is plenty to complete sprints and put in a reasonable performance. Some people on here really do dedicate themselves to triathlon, but most of us either cannot (or will not ) give up everything to pursue triathlon. At the moment I'm doing two sessions a week in each sport (plus some weights if I can find the time ). I do two swim sessions of about 1,500m-2,500m (swimming is my strength! ), two runs of 3-4 miles, and two bikes of 12-20 miles. I'm never going to be a world beater with that level of training, but I do OK in the local sprints and, more to the point, I really enjoy both the training and the racing. |
