In the triathlon world 10hrs a week isn’t considered to be a lot of hours. But think about this:
10hrs a week for 10 weeks is 100hrs of training…
100hrs for a 4-6.5hr (HIM) or 9-17hr (IM) SINGLE DAY event.
That IS a lot of hours.
Now, if someone devoted 100hrs to learning a language or a musical instrument it would be quite some hours and considerable improvement would be expected.
The message is not about saying everyone should only train for 10hrs per week, or that less is more, rather that 10hrs can be very effective if used properly AND perhaps even more importantly, training should not be about chasing and accumulating training hours.
Train smart and make it count.
