How much training is needed for full? I currently have a training programe from a coach. A fellow training bud using a different training coach seems to think my sessions are not enough or rather the frequency.   

My sessions are as follows at the moment:
Mondays: 50k cycle (recovery), 3k pool swim,
Tuesday: 18k long run,
Wednesday: 50k cycle (4 hills and drills), 3k pool swim,
Thursday: 10k run and some gym work,
Friday: 110k long cycle depending on sea conditions a 1.5k seaswim,
Saturdays are off days due to the fact that I have 2 young children and need time at home with them and husband.
Sundays are either 2 or 3k seaswim race or Olympic tri race (new at this one). 

Please bear in mind that these distance will be increasing in the following 12 week till race day.

So my question is having only the mornings to train should I be putting in more swims, cycles or runs along the way as my friend has some days with running or cycling 2 days in a row and apparently he has been told this has more impact. ??

not a comment about training but if your on a plan you need to believe in it, others plans with always be different for them to believe it can mean they put down what your doing (ego),   will plan give you confience and do you believe in your coach? if not, then...

Hi There,
Klimber has it spot on. You already have a plan. Ask yourself why you chose this plan if you are now questioning its directions Undecided
It is not easy to follow a coaching plan to the T while your training buddies are doing other things. BUT if you believe in what you are doing and following then it will all come good - you just have to put the blinkers on and ignore those around you  Grin
