Just a follow up on this thread. Since I'm resting tomorrow, for a New Years day half marathon, 2020 is over for me. My final numbers are:
Swim- 545 miles, 274 hours 55 minutes
Bike- 14,072 miles, 750 hours 20 minutes
Run- 1,218 miles, 187 hours 55 minutes

Total miles- 15,835, Total time- 1,213 hours. Active days- 361

How do your results compare.to those prior 10 to 15 he hard younger weeks? Curious

I'm slowing down. A lot. But I also feel like it's age related. I started falling apart at 56, totally blew up at 57, and by 58, I was soul searching, reassessing my definition of fitness and why I work out, and revamping my approach to it all. I'm 60 now, and have lost about 10 minutes on my olympic tri time of 3 years ago, and also 10 minutes off my half marathon time. I ran one marathon at 59, and was 30 minutes slower than I was at 56. BUT... I'm still winning my age group at all the local stuff, and having just aged up, that should be even easier. The quality of life is priceless, and I wouldn't trade how I feel now, for the speed I've lost.

I see a few people on the ST log already passed 1000 hrs. Randy Christofferson, pretty well hits that mark every year for the last decade. It looks like our man Herbert is on track and what's even more impressive is that it is on a very run heavy program. It looks like 4-5 others will hit 1000.

I may have done 1000 the year I was in grad school in 1993-94 (all I did was train more than a pro and fit in classes and labs around the training plan LOL), but I am not sure. Back then I used to also train with some national XC ski and biathln team guys and their benchmark was 1000 hrs per year was needed to race on the world cup. Keep in mind a lot of their training was weight bearing...XC skiing, running, trail bounding with poles, roller skiing.

Anyone not on the log on track this year? Probably some Ultraman types get that every year as do many pro triathletes and cyclists.

Due to the pandemic I may hit my biggest volume in 15 years. No biz travel is a big added to volume. Second is no racing so no tapering. Finally I don't spend time commuting and I can finish a workout and be in meetings in my workout gear so the latter alone adds 20 min of training per day of not having to change clothing and showering. 20 min x 365 days is over 100 hrs of additional training right there! But won't get near 1000

So it looks like I will end up in 3rd place in the Big Kahuna with over 24,000 points, and that is surely a volume high for me. But without races I just piled on volume since it did not hurt races, there was little need to taper.

I also recently joined the 100/100 as I was curious about my standing there and with 88 runs I am well in the top 10 and with over 500 miles of running in that time have also one of the highest total mileages.

I already said though that I will take it easier in 2021. I see more races happening, plus I don't want to get injured.
