[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) people list bedtime when you wake at an early hour, it really frames the response.  Most working parents probably can’t get to be by 930 after getting home at 6, making dinner, activities for kids, and cleanup from the day.  That’s only 3.5 hours.

2) OP was asking for working parents I think, but didn’t clarify in her post. It’s trivially easy to make work out time when you work full time, and then have 8 hours to do with what you will every day. I lived at the gym before kids.

3) bike/run commutes, I always like the idea, but I found the packing of a change of clothes and gear to shower at work ate almost as much time as a regular workout. I don’t think this adds any efficiency but does help the planet

4) teaches, what are your butt in seat hours, like elem goes 9-3:50, is it 830-420?[/quote]

I’m up by 4 am for a 5 am class or walk.I go to bed by 9. I’m a teacher. I have 2 kids. I will go to sleep before I do the dishes. Quit making excuses , you’re not more special than the rest of us. [/quote]

Thanks, living in filth with a constant sink full of dirty dishes is your secret, now I understand. Not for me. [/quote]

You come off as a judgy B. Enjoy your stroke or heart attack at 55 because a spotless sink was more important than your health. [/quote]

Agreed, this person and others are not willing to sacrifice things that just don’t matter. Or they are making other choices. Nobody is saying abandon your kids on the side of the road, but this idea that you can’t find 45 minutes a couple of times a week is ludicrous. I have friends that alternate training for full distance triathlon with young children. Their kids are performing and functioning just fine. My wife isn’t into endurance sports, but does other things consistently. Our kids are also performing just fine, and might actually have the ability to navigate the world on their own some day, and may even find time to exercise. Crazy that idea. [/quote]

triathlon widow is a thing, and I’m 100% your buddies are dumping the tasks on their wives, who probably has to bail on her career to keep life afloat.

Yet again, flinging baseless insults and making unfounded assumptions. Why do you people hate anyone more active than you? We get it, you're a martyr for your children. Congrats. Now stop insulting everyone else. [/quote]

I ask for schedules and get “so and so is a triathlete” — two people working professional jobs and managing a multi child household, I just don’t see people getting in real workouts. Sure 45 min walking with kids after dinner or playing catch, but training for a triathlon? You either function on 5 hrs sleep or we skipping household work. Maybe they have a live in nanny who makes dinner, or a daily housekeeper, but for most dual working parents they isn’t the case. [/quote]

How much time do you think it actually takes to train for a full distance triathlon?  Serious question.  It takes consistency but it doesn't take hours per day.[/quote]

At this point OP has abandoned the thread because she got a bunch of answers that aren’t compatible with her theory that things are impossible.

Or she bought a zwift hub and a bike and is doing cycling training indoors for a full. 🙃🤣[/quote]m
She’s manically doing all those dishes!! [/quote]
