I have twin boys just approaching 3. If you can still manage 6 days a week training I’ll be very jealous of you.

I very much doubt I'd be able to do it with twins time or energy wise. Friends of ours have just had twin boys and it sounds tough. I've managed 90 mins training most days since Pippa came home a month ago. Christmas social commitments have actually been more disruptive for training. I invested in a decent home gym set up during first lockdown and quite a few workouts have been indoors with Pippa sleeping in her moses basket in the corner and when I'm back to work I'll have to integrate most of my training into my commute. Racing will be my biggest sacrifice I'll probably only be able to do 4-5 races where I've always done 15-20. My wife allows time to let me train because I'm either irritable because I've not been able to train or just annoying because I've got too much surplus energy and doing cardio makes me a bit more normal and slightly easier to live with my wife will be working from home after her maternity which will make life easier. I'm well aware that all my plans may go to shit at any moment but as a newborn her routine is fairly predictable and consists on mostly sleeping.

In an ideal world my long term goal i'd still really like to make the AG podium at a national duathlon race my current best is 5th. In the medium term I'd like to work up to 25 maybe 30k at the pace Joe Skipper just did that 50k i did a 10 miler at that pace last year so i reckon it's doable. In the short term just maintain some consistent ideal still 6 days a week training as we have a 7 week old baby and I've massively underestimated how time consuming she is. I rarely struggle for motivation but I'm going to have to be more organised than ever before to reach any of those goals without destroying myself or pushing my luck to much with my wife.
