Commute to chiro/massage therapy can add up as it is usually a 30 minute trip one way from home (closer from work)<br />4. Misc--approx 2.5 hours total commute (incl cross training), I run before work so the grooming isn't anything that I wouldn't do already except for the occasional extra trip to the gym or extra run (you can add in an hour or so for the random workout)<br />Sometimes the total time investment is more if it is a race week--extra commute, packet pick-up, arriving extra early to secure parking, etc.Michelle Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364062761827224922.post-6937445872666086532011-06-01T12:08:15.710-05:002011-06-01T12:08:15.710-05:00This is a great post...

So that is 4 hours.. commute to and from run is 15 minutes each way (5 days a week), so thats 1.5 hours.. and then you have 20 minutes of showering/getting dressed... so, i guess thats close to 7 hours a week spent on running/getting ready to run.Kevinhttp://5ksandcabernets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364062761827224922.post-56736121219028049042011-05-31T19:27:46.043-05:002011-05-31T19:27:46.043-05:001.

At peak times training for anything over a 50k I'll bump that up to about 8-10 hours per week. <br /><br />2. I'll do a little strength training in the off season but not much at all while getting ready for a big race. Last week I spent maybe an hour on strength training.<br /><br />3. Zero time on recovery other than making sure I get the sleep I need during the week.<br /><br />4. Very little time here as well. I do most of my running right out the front door. Every once in a while I will head into Fort Worth for a run but not very often.<br /><br />I try and balance my family life (I've got 4 kids) by doing a lot of week day running after they go to bed and starting my long runs early on the weekends. Family always comes first and don't run as many miles as I would like, and sometimes don't get out to a lot of running events in other towns like I would like, but I get my training in and spend as much time with my family as I can.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781696569487384181noreply@blogger.com
