Ok. I'm not saying necessarily that you can train three times a day and do a demanding job.

There is funding out there for every single athlete who wants to take advantage of it. Yes, seriously. It is called welfare benefits. Why not?
I guess it depends on the type of job and hours worked. Also, forgot to mention that I had a wife and family, that restricts the mileage somewhat.

If your well enough to run your well enough to work, therefore I don't think we'd qualify for welfare benefits lol.
