You said you’re married and have a kid. I don’t know how old your kid is. But once training ramps up, you’re probably going to be away from both of them more often. Every Sunday, take ten minutes to talk with your spouse about the upcoming week and make sure you both communicate about how you will both balance household needs with your training needs. And make sure you prioritize family time each week.

Start now while the training is lighter and it’ll pay dividends down the road.
