For athletes with primary work responsibilities outside the sport of running, training can sometimes collide with work but it can also be synergistic. My recent trip to Hamburg for a scientific conference had both these elements. First of all, my arrival was massively delayed because of a security shutdown in Munich. This put me in so late in Hamburg that, in addition to waiting for luggage, I simply couldn’t get the training in before midnight. The next couple of training days were excellent, though, and running provided me with a chance to tour the city of Hamburg and orient myself geographically. This ended up benefiting the trip because I got to know the downtown area well inc the venues where various functions of the conference were located.
