Off-season plan is from 6 - 10+.
During IM training it will get up to 22.

Off season all aerobic stuff, 5-6 days per week 8-12 hours, very occaisional big weekend
Spring summer 15-20 hours 6 days a week 2-3 hours (max) weekdays. I rest Mon, do my high intensity stuff on Tue and Thur with a gentle aerobic run ride Wed, gentle swim Fri. Ride 3,4,5 plus hours Sat with short run and swim to recover. Usually do a longer Brick on Sun with some 30km runs around 8 to 6 weeks from a big race.
I never swim for longer than an hour. Increase the speed and intensity instead. I never run longer than 30 km. I never do more than about 90 minutes during weekday training except maybe the odd 2 hour bike. Always build in some recovery.

I get a minimum 5 hours a week (I know, not much) but usually about 8 hours. Tuesdays 7pm - - 10pm. Thursdays 7pm - - 10pm and Sundays 11am - - 1pm.
How many hours a week do you guys put in ?
I'm sure it depends on your goals and your available time but
on average, how many hours ... be as specific as you want.
My 2008 Goals: (1) Build bike leg (2) lower 5K and 10K run times
Average 5-7 hours per week. Some 7 -10 hour weeks.
