Ok so how much training should you be doing each week to comfortably compete in distance paddles? (around 20km). Ive been SUP surfing for a couple of years now around 3 times a week and have been on a 14 foot board doing some distance paddling for the last few months and am starting to think about entering some races around the place and wondering what sort of km guys are paddling each week. I'm 37 years old and would say i'm quite fit having played sport all my life with some being semi professionally but only paddling/surfing for the past 2/3 years. I've been doing some 4 km timed paddles in the river and ocean with my times coming in around 27-29 mins depending on the tides and conditions and going up wind/tide 2km and then back with it home....Im keen to start to do longer paddles and more often but just keen to see how much guys out there are doing, cheers Loz.....
