When progressing from a week day jogger to the more serious racer there are a few things to consider. Running can be built into any busy schedule if you simply give it some thought. I'll give you tips just what I did for many years as my day job usually ran into 50 to 80 hour weeks. Once you get your method down pat you won't even think about. It will just come naturally. I can promise you though, it won't be for everyone. Running can't be done in the mornings too much, unless it's on the week ends. That was always my favorite time to run because mornings are cooler. Another thing about the mornings is, "it's your time" the time you have set aside, for you. So whatever unfolds throughout the day your run has already been taken care of. If some thing in your job or personal life comes up it doesn't matter. You can look at your runs like putting money into your savings account. Pay yourself first instead of last. When you do run into heavy hour weeks to where you can't squeeze in your run this is what you do. When in a parking lot park far away, so you can jog a little to the entrance wherever you're going in to. In a multi story building, take the stairs for your run! Yard work and mowing- run. Run your run at lunch time. Run your run before going to work. Yes, it probably will be dark. But you should run from your memory since you map your run out at one time. I did say this wasn't for everybody. But, it's what I did, I can not tell a lie. You want to win races or not? You want to be a winner, that's what it takes dedication. Sorry dedication is a key ingredient for runners. I usually assigned Sundays as my track day for repeats. But if you didn't make it and have access to track lights, do it! No lights leave your car lights shinning on the track. Now for you secret weapon! Treadmill! I bet you knew that. Absolutely the number seven top tip for you, none of the above applies if you own a treadmill. Good luck with your run just is sure to run your own race. And of coarse when the races end some day always continues to run 4 your life.
