So listed below are my racing and training totals for 2013, with comparisons to previous years. It is not all about the numbers, but numbers have something to do with it. You need to put time in to get results. I had a blog post a bit back that compared training time (Oct-Oct) to racing results. In this post I am just showing my training time for the calendar year(s).
This year I as up in swimming time and yardage from last year. I would also say that my intensity was up. My bike time was down, and has been on the decline for the last two years. I would say that my intensity has also gone down a bit. It shows in my bike times.
In 2013 I spent just over 97.7 hours in the pool, which came out to about 275476 yards (~156 miles of swimming). I spent just over 85.7 hours on the bike and a little over 55 hours running. The total for those three is about 238.5 hours. I spent about 13.5 hours strength training and about 1.1 hours on the elliptical trainer. So the total for 2013 is 253.04 hours, up about 15 hours from 2012, and down about 30 hours from 2011.
Hopefully, in 2014 I can get back up to 100 hours, or at least over 90 hours, and get some intensity up. Attending spin classes will help in this area. My run time is down a little bit from last year, but my intensity was higher, and I think this showed in my race results this year. The time I spent strength training in 2013 was about the same time I spent in 2012 and 2011 combined, which is a good thing. I would like to pick it up again in 2014. I think all strength training can do is help, and it is a nice change from swimming, biking and running.
I think in 2014 I can get over 100 hours of swimming and 100 hours of biking. I don't think I want to go much over 60 hours of running. I think my running will depend more on intensity, than necessarily on time.
