I literally have a gym in my home office, but I only manage one or two days a week... There are literally not enough hours in the day for the amount of things I have to do. I need to try harder to make some time.

I hear you. I have to schedule in my workouts or they seem to get dismissed.
30 min a day is my minimum goal. I just do my best.
Thanks for sharing.

You can do it in tiers. You can have a daily maintenance routine of 1-3 exercises (body weight, not overly strenuous) that you do no matter what. Then you have a 30m workout that's a minimum workout goal, then you have a higher goal of working out more than that 30m. Success is about consistent effort over time don't sweat it if you miss a day, as long as you develop a habit for consistency.

Excellent! This is perfectly said.

how do you run ultra with 30 mins a day? sounds fishy (or bionic). i'm investigating.

haha. I said 30 minutes is a minimum goal.

When I’m seriously training I’ll run 30 min to 1 hour runs on Tuesday Thursday and Friday and six hours on Saturdays and five on Sundays.
I lift weights the off days. :)

Also, if there aren't enough hours in your day to work out, you're probably overloading yourself. Life is meant to be lived. It's not a checklist for a series of finished projects. If you overload yourself on work, you're almost certainly letting family, your health, or your spirit (spiritual or mental health more broadly) go without. I view a high workload as overclocking a CPU. You can do it, but you'll burn out much faster. Life is a marathon, not a sprint and ideally you're meant to enjoy it too.

That being said, from what I've gleaned, you seem to be much more accomplished than myself, so take it with a grain of salt.
