Answer: by having no job except running.

Actually, it's a cute little article with some nice thoughts about the physical part of being a mom. Not sure the time angle is all that relevant to most moms since KG's job is to exercise and most moms have to find time to exercise outside of their jobs, which are likely more time consuming than KG's exercise job.

Said very well. Her job takes what, 4 hrs a day tops? Oh how does she manage it?????

"SHE'S" not a smart marketer, she has help, and lots of it. She is using people and they are using her. Those with a brain will understand what that means, those without are still scratching their heads. Face it, she's cashing in on looks, period, and she's going to be doing it for years and years to come...wait for it. She's not a bombshell, but cute enough in the running whole to have the googling mom's buy whatever she pushes, even though she never ran as fast as Shalane, Joan, Paula, and a slew of others. Image and looks trump her mediocre times for her level.

The patriarchy must be proud about successfully indoctrinating yet another seemingly accomplished woman to sell its toxic, insidious ideals to naive but eager-to-please girls and women.

Kara is as annoying as the Dallas Cowboys. Both are always in the news, and neither knows how to do what really matters for their identity, win a race or make it into the playoffs.

I'd maybe have a slight interest if she, like most runners, had a real job outside running. Didn't i read that she has had a nanny? Runners, unlike triathletes and cyclists, can do about two hours of training a day. Despite that, she has a nanny, a husband nanny, and a heck of a lot of time for herself. She ought to live a week in the shoes of post collegiate runners on here who run seriously but have much bigger responsibilities than her. Not that I don't envy her, but the title is just silly.
