Note: Due to my own time restrictions, I’m lucky if I can successfully maintain running 4 days per week. I usually end up doing 3, sometimes with a cross train. As long as you have a solid fitness foundation, I believe this is a realistic training plan that can be successful!

Of course, I post this as my opinion. There are hundreds of training plans out there.  One of my next posts will discuss how to fit in these workouts with kids in tow, specifically cross training!
