Training right now is mild for me. Exercise/prep is probably only about 8 hours a week of "training" right now. I can't even call it training. It's mostly just exercise right now, running the pup. I view it as prep for the work that I'll be doing in the spring. On the other hand, my job as an industrial/commerical plumber is pretty physical (not as intense as a bricklayer/roofer). Being one of the bigger buys, I probably spend about a quarter of my time on a jobsite working with 4" steel pipe (11#/ft, 21' long). That work is my "base miles" lol.
