Total Training volume through 15 weeks: 2025 v 2024

 Here is a comparison of my Training volume over the 1st 15 weeks of 2025 vs 2024.  the data is presented as a Trailing 4-week average to smooth things out a bit:

Swim:


I've been behind all year on the swim.  I got off to a later start this year (started in December 2023 for 2024) due to the right shoulder problems I have struggled with since October of 2024.  The fall-off from week 7-10 was when I was actively pursuing PT on it and I've finally turned the corner and have begun to grow my swim volume.  However with lots of travel on the horizon I expect to see a fall-off similar to 2024.  Net/Net come June and Open Water season, I'll have a lot of work to do on my swim if I hope to turn in decent swim race performance.

Bike: 


Similar to last year, I've been in "maintenance mode" on the bike so far.  The relative fall-off beginning in week 9 is related to learning about my 29,029 event acceptance and shifting my focus towards my run/walk.

Run/Walk:


This has been my primary early season focus and it shows!

PT/Weights:


PT/Weight time has been similar in 2025 to 24--perhaps just a bit more this year with my shoulder problems.  As we enter May I will dial this back for the summer.....

Total Training Time:


The shift to 29029 training (Run/Walk) has driven up my numbers since week 8/9 when I heard that I was accepted into the 29029 event.  I've been above 30 hours/week now for 6 consecutive weeks!
