    Three days cycling, three days running, three days Yoga and/or Pilates. So six days cardio, but I don't do the same cardio sport two days in a row unless I'm traveling or doing a special event.

    It varies a little with my work schedule. I often have a day or two off during the week, and on those days will try to do two workouts--swim and bike, or swim and run. Then, it either turns out to be four additional days, or occasionally five, when I want to have three runs in a week. I am happiest with at least two days off a week.

    I generally do 6 days on (2x swim, bike, run) and then 1 day off. However, lately I've been trying to do a run every third day so I've been skipping some of my days off to get everything in (no double workout days yet). I actually went all of February without a day off (plus 2 more weeks of March), but a few of the days were pilates or stretching and nothing else. I've been holding up well, but I wouldn't recommend it.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    5 days swim (10-12000 meters a week)
    3 days run (1x 30 1x 40 1x 50)
    3 days bike (1 long distance, 1 velodrome, 1 spinning)
    Ends up being about 6 days a week, but never THAT consistently. If I am tired, I don't care what the schedule says, I take the day off. Last year for 3months I trained 4 days on 1 day off and that really worked for me. This year my schedule doesn't fit that.
    I don't do any weight lifting and only occasional core, so it is basically all aerobic. Work tires me out more than training, so when I have extra work, I train less, less work, I train more and less tired.
    my two cents

    I'm training for a sprint. I'm trying to do 6 days a week, 2x each of swimming, biking and running. The swim and run workouts are never longer than 30 minutes. The bike rides are longer, up to 1:30. On weeks when I'll bike and run on the same day, I'll only do 3 or possibly 4 days of training.

    6 days a week. I take fridays off because I like the rest before the hard weekend.
    Slow and steady (like a train!)

    I usually take one day off a week, unless my body is protesting and then I take more, or if I'm feeling particularly good and then I don't take any off. I try and listen to my body to determine my training volume.
