How many hours a week do you train?
According to the cycle, I train more or less for 20 hours. The [easiest] cycle can be between 15-20 hours a week, while the hardest can round up to 25 hours. I would add to this a few days that I run, and the bits that I dedicate to stretching. This is what I try to do and how I plan it, even though I canโt always complete it because [of] work.
