I'm currently both working and in a PhD program, and I've been running 35-40 MPW for the past few months. I'm not training for anything specific, but I would like to up my weekly mileage regardless. I've just found it difficult on some days to fit in longer runs, whether it's due to a work commitment or studying

I've wondered if I should start splitting up runs (such as four miles in the morning, four in the afternoon, for example), but I figured I'd ask here and see how others handle it. I might also start waking up super early to get in runs if I need to

Any insight is appreciated

Edit: really appreciating the variety of responses
