How much time do you guys spend between your workouts resting?  Sometimes i feel like i'm good to go after only 3 hours.  I usually do my swim workout at 11:30 - 12:30, and fit in a bike/run at 6:30.


Just wanna know if its ok to do a bike or run at 3:00 instead. Or maybe do my run at 8:00am and do my swim at 11:30. I have a very flexible schedule, impeded only by my social life and a flexible part time job.

It depends on the workout.   For me, I can do a full-on swim workout hours or minutes after a good run.  It actually helps with my recovery more than anything.    In reality though, I run almost every morning, and the evenings are for swimming or bike.

I think the answer is "as long as possible" but a certain workout site with intials CFE says 3+ hours which you can take or leave and neither agreeing or disagreeing with .

Mr. Friel in his book states that you should never do two sports back to back.  BUt he doesn't give a minimum amount of time between workouts.  All of fall semester i was doing two sports back to back.... and i didn't really enjoy it much.  It turns into a nutritional nightmare......
