Training on a WORK day | Run, Lift, Zwift and JOB

The TRAINERROAD sessions are getting longer and longer so I need to put a bit more planning into fitting them into my work days....while accepting that they can IMPACT on other parts of my life and that's still ok!
Oh, and had my BEST ZWIFT race so far!

    Liked this even before watching. Preach Mr. Lewis! Organization and discipline in life is the key. I'm pedantic about my training, personal finances, food prep, work, etc much to my family's chagrin. Is the priority health or Netflix and a pint of ice cream? In Texas the summer heat is more of an issue so I installed one of those Mitsubishi split systems (HVAC) in my garage. In August I cool it down so one could hang a side of beef and in the dead of winter I crank it up to 80 degrees so the cars/motorcycles are toasty warm. Check it out if there's room and electrical in your awesome garage.

    My work schedule is highly variable, but at least start time is mostly set, so I would workout in the morning before starting work. Recently I have been working out when returning home because my new job has better hours. Making health a priority is important.

    Spot on with this. The time I have to run is early morning. The only way I'm getting up early is if I go to bed early and skip a couple hours of miscellaneous TV/computer. Not a morning person, so I'm not very gracious in the early morning, but I've got my gear set up and ready to go, so I have to do it.

    Good video - thank you for sharing your perspective on work-life-health balance! Nothing new per se but the manner in which you formulated your thoughts struck a cord. Kudos! ^^ On a side note; it's OK to blink in a video and probably better for your eyes ;) I don't think you blink once for at least 3 minutes in this video (06:00 - 09:00). I found this slightly disconcerting. :) Of course, if that is due to a medical condition or the fact that you are a robot, apologies and, please, disregard my comment - though my guess is that this is attributable to your lighting set-up. ^^

    This is a very relevant video to myself at the moment. I'm signed up for my first Ultra in December and know I have a lot of training/time ahead of me. I'm lucky I have a very supportive wife who is also putting the hard yards in, in a different way (kids and housework) obviously I'm not giving up family time and cleaning but I'm definitely a little more relaxed with it.

    1. get a dumb phone so your internet is limited to computer time 2. use money saved on dumb phone to get a walking treadmill for under your desk 3. do chores in breaks 4. when with family/friends be with them, not on tv/phone or whatever. this has worked for me so far (the walking treadmill was a game changer) so full time work, uni and now an apprenticeship going on, still get cardio in, still get family time in.

    Telling us how he is freezing while walking in front of green grass... Last week on one of my runs, ice was forming in my eyelashes and sticking my eyelids together and this week I had to sprint back home one day because I had no more blood in my toes and was scared I might lose them... For me it was "kinda cold, but okay" hahaha It's crazy how cold perception varies depending on where you are from.

    Nice one. Ps. Get to the online garage and sort out those Zwift socks !!!!! Also, I know it’s not your primary thing but I reckon you would get a major subscriber boost if you live stream the Zwift races you choose to do. Check out Ed Laverack and or Chris Pritchard for how the best in the game do it. I reckon there is a gap in the Zwift streamer market for the 100kg ish race scene. Have a great weekend.

    Running with manual labour job is a pain. I do it when i get back from a 12 hour shift, currently milage for weekdays is around 6-8 miles then weekend is 12+ miles. I cycle 4 miles to work and back and absolutely thrash myself. I find it hard to get in cycling and running while increasing milage. Currently working up to 40 mile weeks running and then i will add in cycling gradually. Should be fun. Worst thing about training is the stretching and foam rolling.

I'm building running milage now and when i hit a certian point i will do the same with cycling. Then the same with swimming.

    Couldn’t agree more on the closing statement. Not a doctor, but I have an inkling that if at population level we hadn’t all turned into soft, unhealthy sedantry shithouses we may have faired better with the old Rona. I may have missed it but can’t recall any focus coming from the government on trying to get as healthy as possible as a preventative measure.

    Issue is they want everyone soft and fluffy. Easier to control. If everyone was athletes and healthly, it would be hard to tell that population what to do and feed them BS. I look to a country like israel, all very dedicated and commited to their country and their community. All required to keep fit and healthy due to active duty/reserve.
