This topic has probably already covered, but still I'm looking to get specific advice on how to juggle with this.
I've been doing bike training and a little racing as a masters for the last 15 years or so.
Not a top athlete ( approx. 285 FTP for 73-74 kg), I log approx. 5000 miles/year (including our very long indoor season :-/ ).

Now I want to try entering one or two triahtlons this summer (one in august- one in sept).
Swimming is not a new sport, I swam when a kid a elementary school, although I didn't swim for the last 35 years.
Running anything past 10 minutes is new to me. I entered a beginners plan at the end of last fall.

The past winter I trained approx. 3 hrs/week in each event.
NOw. The problem is my FTP went down this winter. For obvious reasons you'll tell me.
The legs are not as powerful, I can't do the workouts I'm used to do to prepare for the road cycling season.

So my question goes especially to the people doing both road cycling races, and occasional triathlons.
HOw do you separate your sports in hrs/week ? How much volume do you keep for your "better" sport ?
Maybe separate sports depending on the season (transition season for the swim for example when racing season for cycling) ? Is that possible ?

Thanks for your enlightment.

LOuis :-)
