Training Around a Life.

The athletes I coach are rarely short on ambition. They are short on hours. Between boardrooms, school runs and long-haul flights, the question is not how to train harder — it is how to train at all, and to keep training, week after week, for years.

The answer is almost never a perfect plan. It is a flexible one. A plan that bends around a 6am call from Singapore, that survives a missed long run, that treats one honest hour better than three heroic ones.

Consistency is the only superpower in endurance. Build the life that allows it, then build the runner inside that life.
