Above I've updated the my training volume summary through June as compared to 2025. Take aways:
1. Swim volume well below desired again in June as I focused on 29029 and had lots of life stuff going on. July will include a big focus on swimming (already have nearly 20k in by 7/13). also, did my first open water swim race on 7/11 and will report back on that shortly. Overall, 2026 is a nice rebound from my shoulder problems of 2025. Looking forward to lots of swimming and several more races over the remainder of 2026.
2. Bike volume was woeful in June--really put it on the back burner. That has continued until mid-July and now if finally looks like I can get after biking and hope to get my volume up close to 900 miles despite my very slow start to July.
3. Really pleased with my walk/run training volume. Obviously, my main focus for the first half of the year getting ready for 29029. Now that's in the rearview I will shift the volume down quite a bit but start to feather in some modest run volume as I gear up for the 11/1 NYC Marathon, which I just got accepted into!
4. Strength/flexibility in the midst of the summer lull but would expect to start building again as we get into the fall.
5. Total training time is pretty consistent with 2025--I would expect July/August volume to moderate a bit (100ish hours) as I pivot away from 29029 training.
Onwards and Upwards!
