Any people here who runs marathons and also golfs?

Hello HKrunners,

I have a father who is an avid long distance runner for a long time but recently has also taken up golf pretty seriously.

I know these two sports and on the opposite ends of the spectrum, but I was just wondering if anyone here engages in those two sports actively? How do you manage your time to train for both sports? He is finding it hard. Is this just something that should not be attempted?

Just curious. Thanks.

In Hong Kong, I play golf in the off running season - namely summer. But to get a golf fix, I play once a month while training for races.

I used to golf quite a bit but I have stopped golfing and focus on running last year. But I am not good in either.

Hi, I am a 10 handicapped golfer who play weekly year round and also a runner who run about 6 races per year including SCM(Full marathon). I love both sports dearly and will not give up either one. I just have to better time manage once the racing season starts around October.
