I'm about to lose my job (just a few weeks left). I am not seeing much to apply to and can afford to put off the job search for awhile. So if I decide to increase my miles and focus on running for full year, would it be worth it?
Background is that I'm an average runner, started a few years ago, averaging about 60 miles/week. Should I bump it up and see if I can finally get faster? Would I?
Would it be focusing on running, or just running more often?
I'm assuming you aren't borderline world class, so why do you have to ask a message board if you should run for 90-120 minutes a day?
I would think that focusing on running while looking for a job would be a great way to feel good about yourself and keep progressing towards goals.
You'll still have plenty of time for job hunting.
Why not just start a company?
Then, you can devote as much, or as little, time as you want to each endeavor. Work when you want (for the most part), run when you want (frequently), sneak in the occasional nap (often important for recovery from higher mileage).
