70: How to Fit Running and Training into Your Life


Listen Later

Easy runs, interval workouts, strength training, prehab work, warm-ups, cross-training, and recovery - it’s a lot for anyone, much less if you are balancing a job and family! Additionally, you may have received messaging before that you NEED to do more to improve - but maybe that doesn’t mesh with your real life. 

There is a big gap between training theory and the actual applied practice of training. So how do you fit in running, strength, and supplemental training into your life? We are bringing you tips for time-limited athletes, based on our years of experience and understanding of training theory/exercise science application and adaptation.


  • How to use your warm-up to sneak in plyometrics and mobility work
  • Do you need high-volume running to improve?
  • How to fit in strength training if you are time-limited
  • How do you fit in different running workouts into your training?
  • How to use untraditional training cycles (10-day cycle, etc)
  • How to train around long workday shifts
  • How to train if you work a sedentary desk job
  • Speed workouts for time-limited athletes
