Training whilst doing the day job

Today is a great example of trying to maintain a work schedule whilst keeping up with the training programme. The early pick up to the airport was just a little too early to get a swim in and so I have had to do both training sessions this evening. I am not sure it was very wise but I ran first (45 mins) and then had a swim (60 mins) which felt like really hard work. I am wondering if my day off yesterday was enough. Also today I don’t think that I have fueled properly which left me short on resources and just generally weary. As I was swimming I could feel the doubts creeping in as to whether I can even swim the distance. Focusing on the processes helped in the moment but the nagging doubt has sat with me for the rest of the evening. I aim to have a good long sleep tonight and see how I am in the morning. A question that has been bothering me for a few days now is the implications of making the pursuit of this goal public. Is it an act of self publicity or being courageous in publicly risking failure? Or is it both? After all if I hadn’t told anyone I could fail and never breathe a word about it. Maybe more on this when I am not so tired
On a positive note I did finish the “Master the Art of Running” book on the plane which has left me with some really interesting ideas of adapting my running style, but more of that as I try to put it into place.
