What does your training week look like?

On that adapt point. Look at weather reports, if indoor swim day is glorious but the bike day looks like storms, consider swapping

I set up my training into 4 week blocks. Week 1 I have 7 workouts. Week 2 I have 8 workouts. Week 3 I have 9 workouts. Then Week 4 is a recovery week down to 5 or 6 workouts with lower volume and intensity. Since they don't divide up evenly, I lean towards the ones that need the most work. So, 3 swims every week except for recovery week when there's only 2.

I do what I call, triangle training. Think of a triangle, 3 sides. Wk 1, Swim, bike, run is at the bottom or off that week. Wk 2, everything rotates to the right so to speak, so run, swim, and bike on the bottom/off. The concept is, 1 discipline you hit back to back weeks. 1 discipline is always off. So if you were to draw triangles on paper, you should see 1 discipline gets repeated every week. Then, the weeks where the swim is off, I work in a bike/run brick to end the week. Not every week. If you set it up right, there should be a brick workout staggered every week. For example, my upcoming week, Week 1 will have a brick, and Week 4 will have a brick. Because of my work schedule, this gives me flexibility without the dread of a schedule conflict or stress that I missed a day. It works for me. Hope it works for someone else.

Great video, could you possibly add time stamps if we need to refer back to it? (e.g. Frequency and Duration)

My week-
First my goal - full IronMan
Monday-Wednesday-Friday noon swim- Saturday open water swim
Tuesday-Thursday-5-7k run at noon, sometimes it's speed intervals. Sunday long run.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights 40-60K on the bike, Saturday afternoons long ride. Some nights I will do intervals on the trainer.
Pending weather, anything outside will be switched around

Do you tend to put all the longer easier workouts in one half of the week, and the interval/speed work on the various diciplines at the other end, or is it better to try and move them away from each other? Currently running 3 times a week (1 longish, 1 fartlek, 1 tempo or easy depending how I feel) plus one long bike ride and two days when I bike to the river or sea for a swim (about 30-60 minutes bike each way, 30-40 minutes int he water). I have no "end date" at the moment but am aiming to do a DIY olympic distance in late August or September before the water cools down.

Love the channel. Along with the GCN GTN is a great resource, and has really helped me. Im training with a view to doing The Florida 70.3 in December.
I have seen your video on strength training, and on putting a plan together.
Can you advise where to fit strength training into the plan on top of the 10 hours a week training.

You mention about trying to avoid more than 2 sessions/day or backing up sessions working the same muscle groups.
How would you look to structure a plan to include S+C training?
