You mean what we're scheduled to do or what we actually get done?

For me it varies a lot depending on the season and what I'm trying to accomplish, train for, etc.

Our foundation is the Sunday 45-120 mile group ride where we turn ourselves inside out and then spend the rest of the week trying to recover.

Monday: in winter, say October-March, we snowshoe occasionally, but mostly take the day off. In summer we usually do a 4-5 hour hike in the mountains, Z1 for me, Z2 for Stoker. That's not a recovery day.

Tuesday: If we hiked or snowshoed, we take the day off. If we didn't, we hit the rollers or trainer and do an hour including 15'-45' of FastPedal - hopefully 115 or better cadence - or one-legged pedaling, depending on season. Then we hit the gym and do 20'-60' of weight lifting, depending on season and goals.

Wednesday: Stoker has a 1 hr. dressage lesson, I do an hour of Z3 on the StepMill in winter or similar on the rollers in the summer.

Thursday: Winter we hit the rollers or trainer with some specific goal and then go the the gym for 20'-60' of weight work. Summer, we hit the road for a 1-3 hour endurance ride and don't usually make it to the gym afterwards.

Friday: We usually hit the gym for 30' of Z2 on the StepMill.

Saturday: Off, resting before the Sunday painfest.

That comes to 8-13 hours/week, depending. Of course we don't always manage that! Sometimes life interferes with training, oh such sadness and gnashing of teeth.
