2 workouts/day?

Question of the Day:

Do you do more than workout a day when training for triathlons? If no, how do you get all your training in? There's not enough time to train for 3 sports, plus weights, plus Yoga, plus life in a week! I don't understand how to fit it all in, without doing 2 a day. Please let me know how y'all do it.

I very rarely do two workouts a day. Maybe once a week...

Easiest for me is after work. I get home at 5:30. Grab my bags and out the door by 6.

Perfect example was last Fri. I went to the community centre at 6:30.

6:30 - 7:15 - running drill
7:15 - 8 - work out
8 - 9 - swimming drill and stretch in hot tub.

Once u get the hang of it..it ian't too bad. I am still struggling with getting more training in. I miss a few swimming drills b/c I just do them fi i have them and did not deliberate strutcture them into my week.

The more important question is..how much time do u want to train. If u give yourself 4-5 hr to train..well it will be different and u probably don't need to train 2 sports a day during weekdays.

My schedule is pretty flexible right now so I can take advantage of training up to 15 hours a week. Right now, fitness-wise, I can only do about 6-8.

When I'm in two-a-day mode, I do an early workout (usually weights or swimming) before I go to the office, then a second one (running or cycling) after work or after my evening nap.

I'm a two-a-day sleeper, so maybe that helps.
