Training for an Ultramarathon event is an exciting yet demanding process that requires a significant amount of time management and dedication. Once you commit to a race it can be easy to get caught up focusing on training but it’s important to find balance and make time for other activities and interests, especially on rest days and weekends.
It can be difficult to balance your training with the other demands of life. Between work, family, and other commitments, it can be challenging to find the time and energy to fit in your runs. But with a little bit of planning and commitment, it is possible to maintain a consistent running routine and still have a healthy work-life balance.
