20 Time Management Tips for Runners 

1. A lot can be accomplished on low mileage, recover hard 
2. Run early morning, during lunch, late night. Think odd hours.
3. Run during conference calls or when talking on the phone. 
4. Leave work early(: 
5. Run/bike to/from work
6. Go for quality runs over quantity.
7. Or quantity instead of quality. Whatever you can do. 
8. Cross-train in other sports.
9. Don’t watch tv or other stupid things. 
10. Get after when you can, not worrying about hitting a certain number or time. 
11. Be where your feet are, this present moment. If you are with the family, be with the family, when you are running, run. Speaking of, communicate with the family what your goals are. 
12. Join a 24-hour gym
13. Remember that running gives us energy instead of a nap maybe we can bag a few miles out
14. Keep your priorities straight, what do you want? 
15. Get some cross training equipment that you can use at home. (treadmill, erg, stair stepper, elliptical, weights, pull up bar, etc) – it doesn’t need to be expensive either. 
16. Run at a track where your child can play while you ‘work’
17. Have your child ride his/her bike while you run
18. Carpool kids to school or have them take the bus
19. Baby jogging stroller 
20. Wait ‘till kids are old enough (sike) 

What are your goals? 

We need to know what we want. What do we want to do with running? Be the best? Run the furthest? Break personal records? To have fun? 

But what we want has consequences. 

Taking a trip for 3 months to climb Everest while the wife and kids stay home? Maybe the local marathon or 50 or 100 miler is more attainable to get that sense of adventure while still maintaining peace within our homes. 

Running changes lives, and having a running goal each year is a way to have us stick with it and reap all the benefits.

Here have been some of my running goals for the past few years:

• 2019: marathon (first ever race) 
• 2020: 50 miler 
• 2021: 100 miler
• 2022: 200 miler 
• 2023: black list series (50k, 100k, 100 miles, 100k) 

I’ve raced at least once each year, and In some races, they were really just training runs for the main race.

PS: I really enjoyed the “double it” concept, it’s been extremely painful, rewarding, and thrilling. I found a 400 mile race but I am using this year to get my skills more fine-tuned and my body more prepped.

Thanks for tuning in !

I appreciate your attention, LMK anything!

Go get your miles, Peace!!!!
