Biggest training day of your life?

Question

Jan Frodeno · Answer

Biggest training day of my life-- most likely, one I would not recommend you copy-- would have been an early 6k swimming session, followed by a warm-up jog of about 10 kilometers, with some strides thereafter. 60k bike ride or 65, something like that, of two hours. And then, that very same afternoon, doing a combined session of three- by eight-minute hill repeats and 12 400s on the track. I think a day like this or a very similar day was documented on YouTube as well. To be honest, it got me very tired, and it got me very hungry. But it probably didn't do too much for my fitness at the time. But so you learn.

Biggest Training Day of My Life. Well, maybe not the hardest but probably the longest day of my life was I would do this every Thursday when I was trying to get ready for Ironman. And I think I overtrained and that was generally on a Wednesday. We would have done a long ride in the mountains of Colorado 180 to 220 km on the bike. Then the Thursday I get up usually and run. And km warm up very early. It would be dark then jump on the bike warm up for about 2 to 3 kilometers. But literally, it was almost straight out the door time trial, 90 kilometers and have about 5 km cool down. Make it home in time to go to the 11 a.m. Swim Squad. At Scott Carpenter and swim between three and a half and four kilometers have a quick lunch at Whole Foods. And then make my way up to the Switzerland Trail and run that Loop up there, which I think was around about 25 kilometers. Do that reasonably well, and that would be the day but it would end up being a pretty significant day in itself. But I always overtrained cheers.
