Most important 20 minutes in my week is probably a few minutes. Each morning, I get to drive my daughter to school and drop her off and get to see her in her element for just a split second when she runs through the gates and and know, she's going to go off and do great things, and feels like it gets both. Our days started with the in a good direction.

That's an interesting question. It made me think a little bit before answering it, but there's no for me, there's no such thing as 20 minutes in a week. Nothing that you do for 20 minutes only. It's gonna it's gonna I mean it's going to make a difference. What I try to think of what I try to focus, My Mind Set On is that every minute counts, every second counts. That's why usually said that. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you work your butt off for those two hours in the pool, or whatever you trained for and the other 22 hours in the day, you treat your body like crap. And you don't behave like a high-level athlete, right? So I wouldn't focus on 20 minutes gaps or anything like it. I'll just Start leaving like an athlete.

The most important 20 minutes of my week I would say are calling the people that I don't see on a daily basis. When I'm at College, I sell when I talk to my parents or when I talk to Meredith or my sister. I and I don't always do a great job about this but I think it's extremely important to be intentional because I always I have this feeling when I go back to school like you kind of take for granted being at home and being with your family because when you're at your when you're at school or your your back to just being with your friends and I really miss my family, when I'm at college. So, those phone calls are definitely the most important time of my week.

If you are talking life in general, is my most important, 20 minutes of every week are it's actually a lot more than 20 minutes. Luckily is the time I spend with my kids and wife, having some fun and enjoy our family time. But from athletic point of view, it's exactly 20 minutes, most of the weeks and as I'm going to gym twice a week, I always finish my gym session with 10 minutes on Rowing machine concept to. And those two times, ten minutes are the most difficult, 10 minutes in my training, most painful, 10 minutes in my training and I would say also most valuable 10 minutes in my training. It gives you so much exercise and heart rate Peak and power. Gains it teaches you how to really go through all muscles in your body. In this at the same time. So if I would have only 20 minutes a week to train, I would definitely spend those on a rowing machine even though I'm preparing for triathlons and Ultra runs.

Hi, Paul, I love this question. I thought about it for a while before I hit record and I really think it's not a confined, 20 minutes of my day but it is it's connecting with my the people. I really love the people around me every day. So right now it's my husband and my daughter, my son has gone off to pursue his education. So we connect through WhatsApp sometimes, just by voice by text. Sometimes by video, And doesn't have to even be really meaningful connection. It's just like knowing those people are there for me. And I am there for them that grounds me and sometimes that doesn't even happen until like 2:00 in the afternoon. That might be the first time I see my daughter because I didn't see her before she left for school. Or it might be six o'clock at night or 6:30 because I had didn't see my husband when he left for work. So It Could Happen a lot later my day, but that really is the most important part of the day for me is just Re connecting a re-establishing a reaffirming, those bonds that are so so important to me.
