I'm about to start my first marathon training cycle and I'm worried about fitting it all in. How do you guys balance long runs, speed workouts, and rest days with work, family, and social commitments? Any tips on prioritizing, scheduling, and avoiding burnout?
I'm in a similar boat! I've found that creating a schedule and sticking to it is key. I plan out my runs and workouts for the week, and then schedule everything else around them. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. Also, don't be afraid to say no to social commitments or adjust your plans if you need an extra rest day. Remember, consistency is better than trying to cram all your runs into one or two days.
