I do. between 10 - 20 hours per week, mostly off-road, very hilly, whatever the weather. It's all become a LOT easier since I stopped eating death.
A few things to note. I eat almost no junk food, I avoid sugar as much as possible, and use fruits/dates instead. We had been eating a fair amount of oil (olive/coconut) but are going to cut that out too. Basically whole foods, fresh as possible, raw preferably.
I often do 100+ mile rides, and since being plant-based I have had almost no bonks, that may be attributable to having cut out sugar too, and on rides I carry things like avocados, fruits, nuts, nakd bars (mashed dates/nuts) rather than all that mass market energy food crap or free haribo from wiggle (both contain dead animals).

I would be in the 10-20 hr bracket if I wasn't constantly injured*. Have done a bunch of ultras and quintuple ironman on vegan diet. Unlike gabes, fucking love junk food tho.
*injuries all knock-ons from a smashed knee many years ago, not due to veganism leaving you weak, pitiful and kittenish.

I've just read the guardian article linked above and it's piqued my curiosity.
Who here trains 8 plus hours a week on a vegan diet? I'm keen to ask some questions.
