  • Deliver practical, research-backed content on nutrition, strength training, injury prevention, and performance for working adults.

  • Build a motivating community of everyday athletes who share tips, personal wins, and real-life challenges.

  • Share personal experiences and lessons from training for marathons and ultras while working full-time, to inspire others to do the same.

  • Offer helpful tools and resources like training plans, scheduling templates, and a value-packed newsletter tailored to hybrid athletes.

Hi, I’m Omar — the creator behind Nine to Five Fitness. I’m a full-time data professional by day and a marathon runner by morning (and sometimes night). Like many others, I know the challenge of balancing a demanding job with ambitious fitness goals — whether it’s chasing a new marathon PR or preparing for an ultra.

This site is for people like you and me: those who wake up early, train hard, and push personal limits — all while navigating meetings, deadlines, and life outside of running shoes.

Here, I share practical training advice, time-saving tips, and personal insights on how to stay consistent, disciplined, and healthy — no matter how packed your schedule gets. Whether you’re aiming for your first 5K or your next 100-miler, this is your space to grow.

Let’s prove that you can go far — even with a 9 to 5.
