I started my new job about two weeks ago and while I love it here the hours are very long so I know I'm not going to want to run after work. So I have been having to get up around 3:30 in order to get in an ez 8 or 9 miles in.
What time do you normally get up to go running on the week days and how far do you usually run on these mornings?
5:00am wake/coffee
5:30am run
6:30am finished 13 miles/start rest
6:45am coffee/breakfast/shower
7:15am get dressed
7:30am leave house
8:15am work
Sleep until noon.
Coffee.
Poop.
Run.
Hit the clubs.

What time do you start trolling the internet? We really can't help you until you answer this question. 🐗
Wake up at 5:30AM, have coffee, get dressed.
Run at 6AM anywhere from 6-9 Miles.
Home between 6:50-7:10.
Shower, eat breakfast leave for work at 7:50.
I work down the street from where I live so at my desk by 8:00AM.
Keep in mind when I first took a job at this location I was driving 60+ mins each way so this schedule wasn't possible. In another year I will likely move and won't run as far in the AM (if at all).
Commute is the largest factor in my opinion. If you can keep it to under 30 mins and have a normal 8-4 running in the morning shouldn't be that much of a problem.

I agree with this. I work 8-5 but have an hour commute, so I get up at 6:30 without running in the morning. When I started working, I tried doubling but found that I just couldn't get enough rest to train and have a pleasant life. Now I just double on weekends and run in the evening monday-friday when I get home from work.
You run 13 miles in one hr?

Who let you in? You're only allowed to post here if you can run sub 60 halfs consistently 5 days a week.
