It All Adds Up

The 30 minute run that’s the best you can do that day? It adds up. Stack four together and a near two-hour run on the weekend and you’ve got nearly four hours in the fitness bank plus a sneaky-helpful 26 miles.

Or the 45 minute Peloton ride snuck in before sunrise so you can be in the family room when your little girl walks in upon waking up? It adds up. Drop in three or four and you’ve ridden almost 80 miles.

All the workouts…they add up.

This is critical for the time-crunched athlete like me. Somehow, despite feeling like I hardly trained at all last week, I snuck in about 11.5 hours of quality training. No fluff. Every session had a purpose based on the time I had available. Those hours were comprised with stolen time, borrowed time, EARNED time from early in the morning through late in the work day before commuting home.

When you’re driven, finding the workout time is easy.

When you’re not, finding the reason why those 30 minutes can be spent elsewhere…well, that’s easy too.
