Just thought I'd share it with the group. Had 6 great sessions over the last 3 days and long may it continue.
Something very addictive is occurring in that the more great sessions I have the more I want to train and train!
3 a day training sessions anyone?!?!?!?!

My name is Mark, and I am an addict
I have to travel about from construction site to construction site and this means that my only time to train is from about 7.30pm at night.
I try to make up for it at the weekends but its not the same. I would love to some more training like what conehead has mentioned.
Never mind!
are you able to train at lunchtime?
(I'm sure you've been here in your head loads of times during those 2 hr commutes :-( ).
Commutes... lots of time to listen to triathlon podcasts burned onto a CD/usb stick I guess!

I run to work and back every day and I love it. I'm fortunate enough that I live 4 miles from work so it only takes 1/2 an hour. I love it as I get to my desk knowing I've already done a session before 9am
But i think the level of addiction is in direct proportion to your fitness/racing/timing goals. If you are lacking in the goals department you will not train to the same level or degree as you would if your goals were very clearly defined (i'm beginning to sound like a self-help book).
So, for all those who are addicted, i put it to you that you have very clearly defined goals (you know what you're aiming for and when you need to be ready by).....am i right?
And for those that read this and think, 'that's not how i feel', my guess is that you do not have a particular race planned, or that the race you are thinking of is so far in the distance that its not a clear enough picture in you mind.
My advise, jump in, get hooked, BOOK THAT RACE, get the clear goal, and get addicted.

I think I'm getting excited by the prospect of racing, so it's driving my training on.
Have an 80mile Sportif coming up. MD, OD and OWS followed by the IM. All in that order.
I seriously love Triathlon.[sm=kiss.gif]

What about incorporating your training into your commute? Could you run to car, then drive to work and do the same at the end of the day?

No chance of me incorporating training into the commute. My work is approx 50 miles away from my home. I then had to travel 110 miles in between construction sites and then 50 mile back home.
Its one of those things unfort that I need to travel where the work is rather than having a fixed place of work.
Hell, we get allowed three hours of work time a week where we get paid to work out. And i get free passes to use the local pool too. and when i'm not 'working' i'm on this forum.
God bless the Americans. [:D]
and when i want a rest
The only thing that sucks about training is when you can't. I meant to go out last night but couldnt - i was in a foul mood all evening!
In fact i'm so jammy, i am made entirely of jam with a little jam hat and some jam hoop earrings [:D]
500m swim (lake 32)
52 K bike
2.5K run (brick).
Then 1000m in the pool in the evening.
Does that count as three or four?
had today off :-)
Two a day is not unusual, but I can;t claim that they are necessarily particularly major sessions... as a newbie still I have only last week cracked a 10 hour week for the first time. Probably Sundays are my heaviest days as they are a long/enduyrance run or bike in the morning and an hour's swim set in the evening.

Just off to google the hearest USAF base to me - hopefully i wont find anti-terrorism police kicking my front door down at 4am as a result...maybe not such a good idea
I love training yes, but hate hills (when i'm on the way up them), and then love them again when i look back and think yeah........gotcha [;)]
Today's training was saved from the jaws of tiredness by you!
Is that over at Keynes Country Park?
Yup, that's right Mowf. lake 32, waterland (sprattsgate lane).

Got really down on sunday as I was told I couldn't train for a few days as I was told to rest after such hard work.
But did a 6 mile run yesterday and tonight 1 hour open water swim and a hour run training
so bring on the training
Sat : get up at 5.30am, breakfast, out of the door by 6am, 3 hour ride, back at 9 am just as everyone is finishing breakfast and can feed you your second [:)]
Sun: get rest of family to go to church, but declare yourself an atheist. get out on your LSD while they are singing and praying. Stop at pub towards end for a couple of pints, get home just as Sunday lunch is being served up.[:)]
Sorted!

Love the pub suggestion!
