Hey guys, i'll be starting work on monday and have to leave for work at 5:10am and will get back at 5:10pm. It's a bit of a drive and is Monday-Saturday. I've been running about 100-110miles a week gearin up for xc and am tryin to figure out how the hell to continue to do this.
That would be tough for me, but it's certainly possible. Long run Sunday, of course. Do you have a family? If not, your evenings will be relatively free. Ditch the time wasted on the internet, watching TV, etc.
From from 5:30p to 7:30p every day. Plenty of time to get 100+ MPW in singles.
Yea the evenings will be free, currently livin in a house with some other teammates for the summer. So far on the 100+ weeks i need naps almost daily, most of it is at 5:45-6:15 pace, plus starting some tempo/fartlek workouts next week. How would i go about doing singles?
Given 5:10am->5:10pm and M->Sat, 58 hours means you have lunch hours to fit runs in but we need to know more.
The real question is what are you doing?
Is the job is physically demanding?
How many weeks does the job last?
Brother, your best option is to sacrifice overall volume a bit, get in a solid long run or long threshold workout on Sundays and get as much sleep as you can. No matter what anyone tells you, your lifestyle and training will change working those long hours.
I hope it's an easy job.
run 15 miles 4 days after work, 20 one, 10 one, and on sunday split 15 miles between 2 runs
Get up at 4 am. Run 4-5 mi easy. Sh--, shower and shave as fast as you can to be out the door by 5:15. Run 8-12 after work, including workout days. Do 18-22 long run on Saturday. 8-10 easy on Sunday. That will give you @12-16 miles a day during the work week and @28-30 on the weekend. 100 is plenty. No benefit to going up to 110, especially with the early mornings.
