All my buddies and my wife do tri's, but I've just never had an interest in it. I think I log more hours weekly than a lot of triathletes, so it's not the effort required - it's just the logistics and scheduling nightmare that triathletes go through - all the bike time, and/or trainer time, finding pool time, and still getting in a run ... it just doesn't interest me, but I never say never.Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-36208732613407680202015-02-10T15:42:12.860-06:002015-02-10T15:42:12.860-06:00Ha, yeah I'm aware of Strava, and no, not on i...Ha, yeah I'm aware of Strava, and no, not on it yet.

I usually workout on weekdays from about 4:30-7:00am, and in the evenings from about 4-5pm. I'm in sales, so my workday is all over the place without set hours, but I'll usually be in the office or making calls from 8-3:30, and then emails, paperwork, etc in the evenings from 6-8pm. I'm usually in bed asleep by 8:30pm. Pretty boring I know, but I'm in really good shape right now, ha.Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-80466093978278642022015-02-07T15:36:52.422-06:002015-02-07T15:36:52.422-06:00Crunch time.

I miss those fatigued weeks. I could ride the exercise bike for 12 hours and not get that long-run fatigue!<br />Question - 80 miles, even fast, takes a lot of time. So does the extensive weight training you do. How much time are you spending per week running or working out? Trying to figure the right balance for myself - work, life, running, and all.
