[Patrick Downie]

Thanks for all the info Charlie!  Anyone else want to give us an idea of 
  their workouts?  Bruce?  Ernie?  Brian?  Anyone else?

  It all depends on what I'm training for...I'm currently training for 
multi-days and have no idea how many miles I train, but for the past 
several months I've been averaging 12-15 hrs per week. The majority of 
my time is spent biking, running or hiking with a pack. I spend less 
time paddling than I should, maybe once every other week or so for a few 
hours. Climbing has kinda been pushed aside temporarily. I've been 
climbing for years and don't need the skills practice in that area. 
I've never lifted weights, tho I know other racers who incorporate light 
lifting into their routines.

I use fartleks during my shorter weekday workouts if I feel recovered 
enough. I don't stick to a strict schedule and try to listen to what my 
body is telling me. If my legs haven't recovered, then I might switch 
to a paddle workout instead of a run, or just go really slow and do a 
walk/run type thing. Thats the cool thing about AR, anything is 
considered training!

Here's a sample from my log...it varies from week to week tho. I've 
quit the swimming for now...I was really only doing it since I needed a 
certification in it.

Mon - 50min swim, 15m stretching
Tue - 1hr trail run
Wed - 1:12 mtn bike
Thu - 1:41 trail run
Fri - 30mins core strength training
Sat - 3hr fast trek w/pack
Sun - 5:20 road bike
Mon - 40min swim
Tue - 30min Yoga, 20min bouldering
Wed - 1:05 trail run
Thu - 1:50 paddle
Fri - 1hr mtn bike
Sat - 3:20 paddle, 1hr run
Sun - 1hr mtn bike, 30min run, 4hr road bike

I start tapering at least a week before a big race. I'll do extremely 
easy workouts, mainly just to get my legs moving a little. Two to three 
days before the race I do nothing but rest.

I do recovery weeks when I feel they're necessary. If my legs are 
continuously sore and tired, then it's time for one. For me, its more 
of an art than science :-)
