I run once and the rest of the day I am making music, having sex, going to parties, getting massages, etc. If you’re running twice per day, you’re probably not have much sex, music, parties etc.
Essentially, you have no life outside running.
You get almost no sex. Your music is a waste of time. You are not exactly a hit at parties. You have to pay for these massages and the men who give them are bears.
Let’s be honest, all of the things you’re doing are also a waste of time.

I think you are trolling but in the big scheme of things cant agree more how much people lose sanity when they go all in on running for what it is essentially mediocre running. Just wait for the wear and tear later on in life....
You're right but they won't listen. We've all seen them on strava hammering it out week after week, year after year.
Duly noted OP. I just donated all of my shoes to the salvation army and booked 10AM, 2PM, and 7PM massages every day for the next six weeks. Maybe I'll even go to a party!
Here was my schedule 2 years ago:
4:00 Am wake up and work out at the gym
5 AM - run 10 miles at the park
6 AM - shower and head to work
7 AM - Arrive at work and work
4 PM - leave to run again to run at the park
5 PM - Arrive at home and take my wife out on the town.
Is that so hard?
Dude doesn't eat or poop. Where is the time alloted for posting on Letsrun?
2 hours a day is nothing, if the remaining 14 hours (of the day) are productive. Everybody, imho, should be spending at least 1 hour per day on exercise, even in split shifts, e.g.30 minutes morning, 30 minutes evening. People who claim they don't have time are either lying or deluding themselves. Most people waste 5-6 hours per day on trivial matters.
All this talk about it being 'unproductive' and 'having no life' is so weird to me, cos like ultimately there's no point to life and you give your life meaning so why does it matter if it's productive or not
5 PM - Arrive at home and take my wife out on the town.
Is that so hard?
One hour to wake up, go to gym, workout then get to park?
One hour to run 10 miles and get home from the park?
One hour to get ready and go to work, but only One hour to drive to park, run and drive home from work?
You don’t shower before going out on the town?
Excellent analysis of this schedule. It also appears that he doesn’t eat all day, which I find hard to believe. Unless taking the wife out on the town includes dinner. He doesn’t specify. He also conveniently does not specify if he had sex with his wife during or after the night out on town…. Which proves the OP’s point.

Grab some fruit at home before work and have a protein shake. When I get to work they have a lot of food for all of us to eat. Lunchtime I have hour to eat. I shower at home before leaving for AM run. After the run I shower off at outdoor shower.
I spent the summer getting into cycling as a way of building fitness. So not just a couple hours a week to supplement my running, but the amount of time required to actually move the needle. That meant 14-20 hours per week, and that was in addition to squeezing in 50-70mpw of running. And if there's one major complaint about that process was the amount of time spent on the bike compared to what I felt was a tangible improvement to my fitness.
And now that I'm back to just running 10-12 times a week, so plenty of doubles, I feel like I have all the time in the world. Not to mention the efficiency of that time spent running versus cycling. Oh, and I have a full time job, wife, two kids, and enough time spent outside of all those things, including running, to make me happy. But cycling? Man, that's a time commitment, certainly makes running doubles seem easy.
I spent about six months dedicated to cycling last year as I had a knee issue that was a big problem while running but cycling didn't seem to irritate it. I'm not sure exactly how many hours, maybe more like 12 to 15 than 15 to 20, but yeah, I felt like I made almost no improvement.
I'm back to running now, though I still have some limiting knee issues. Anyway, just running FIVE or six times a week, not even 10 to 12 like you, the improvement is incredible. I can just feel my body responding to it and fitness coming back. I've never been sure if it's just because I have natural running ability and no natural cycling ability, as other people seem to do better at cycling at me, or what.
