hey hey,
just a quick question...
if i cycle on a gym bike for an hour in the morning and then an hour in the evening is this as beneficial as 2consecutive hours on the gym bike. prob not but i presume thisis comoon practice amongst most of you?! or even a swim in the am and cycle in the pm. or 1hr run in the am and then in the pm
i am making sure i do at least one long (for me) cycle at the weekend of 2-3hrs and long run 1-1.5hours
i'm struggling to get in alot of hours in training and am having to split it up during the day
any opinions/advice
cheers

aiming for half ironman.
i do find that at the same pace on treadmill/bike that my HR is higher in the evening folllowing a morning session only by maybe 5beats.
at the min i'm ignoring distance and just going by volume i.e run for 90mins below 140bpm and whatever disatnce i do i take it.
but i think form what i've read that getting a long bike and run at least once aweek is importnat for longer distances.
thanks
1/2 IM will take you 5hrs at least so you wnt to be ready for that.. spose you could get round that by doing very long ride one weekend - i.e. 4-5hours and then the next a very long run - 3hrs.... your body will be absolutly fine then... probably better than trying to fit the both in one week just make sure your hour/gym sesions are not to intense... dont be afriad to do 40min bike, 20 min cross triainer or running machine.... or 20 mins rowing 40 mins bike etc. just keep at <80% hr!!
thanks for the advice lads
To answer your question I tink you would be better off doing two different sports in a double session and making one of them a priority session. Which depends on your goals and aims
