I have to hand it to all of you who BI, DUAL, or TRI I don't know how you do it. As it stands now those of you who do any of the a previously mentioned activities have complete respect. Just thinking about what it must take in training alone boggles my mind. I thought that I might like to try a multi-sport race, but now I am not too sure. I know that in the end when I decide that doing something along these lines is for me it will only be a matter of time before I am pondering what I did before I started doing them.
However, that is then and this is now, I just purchased a bike mainly ride back and forth to work to offset fuel costs, and to do a little cross training to supplement my running. I am now having a problem trying to figure out how to make my current running program and the new cycling I will be doing during the week co-exist. It is not my plan to start doing duals or to start training for a tri, but knowing that I will be riding five days a week and running five days a week while training for a marathon this fall and a 50K or two this winter I am just wondering what everyone else does to work it all in.
I will be riding approximately 3 miles to and from work Monday to Friday, and my current run schedule is Sunday, Tuesday - Thursday, and Saturday. I am in the process of adding miles to my running, as it stands now I am doing around 20 miles and building. I want to be closer to the 30 - 50 mile a week range by the end of the summer.
I am looking for some insight as to how to get both of these routines to mesh with out detracting from the other. Any thoughts or anecdotes from when you first started will be greatly appreciated.
