Samantha Peszek’s training schedule

Sam trains six days a week from 1 pm to “6:30 or 7-ish” according to this article.  The article also says that this routine is required in order to be part of the team in Beijing.  I thought Martha preferred two-a-day workouts.  three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon.  Not one six hour block everyday.  I don’t see why she would require a routine that she doesn’t prefer.  I’m not even sure the writer is talking about the number of hours Sam trains.  Shawn Johnson famously trains 25 hours a week.  I’ve heard she has added more hours to work on her flexibility but I doubt it’s 10 or 11 more hours to make it 36.
