So, if you think about it, you are probably already working out 10-12 hours most weeks, so you're really only adding on 2-4 more hours. Okay, yeah it's very tough! I don't think I could do it unless I had someone else here in Cleveland to train with on all the long Sat bricks. I think I could get myself through the runs and use master's classes to get myself through the swims, but would need a partner for all those 4-7 hour bike rides followed by runs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351958271297669176.post-48437363903222541532008-07-03T20:43:00.000-04:002008-07-03T20:43:00.000-04:00its about finding a balance...faith family trainin...its about finding a balance...<br>faith family training work....<br><br>though i have had decent results over the years in the sport (23)I have never really approached the insane level of hours others train at some weeks, especially for the Ironman distance.<br><br>But, my performances in the Iron distance have reflected my lack of intense-long workouts... 16 hours, 46 minutes... 15 hrs 45 mins and another about 15:20. Sometimes I wish I hit it harder, but I also was trying to keep up with all the other stuff in my life. I never wanted it to be all about the ironman because the fam would likely suffer.. However I recognize that each situation is unique, and my way might not be someone elses..<br>good luck trish and you are doing great!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
