Is 10 hours a week enough

I'm 35, have trained muay thai and kickboxing with varying levels of intensity since I was funny, and fought competitively a couple of times in my 20s. I would like to build a consistent weekly schedule to start taking super short notice fights. To be clear, I have no interest in trying to do a camp or peaking at this point in my life. I'm at a point where I'm bored, and want to feel sharp enough to take short notice fights and maybe win. Not chasing belts or tournaments, I have a career, and fighter isn't it.

My question is: if I'm consistently training 5 days a week, with 3 S&C sessions lasting an hour each, is this enough of a regular schedule to be ready? It breaks down to 3 hours of dedicated S&C and 7 hours of boxing and kickboxing work each week.

Would love any experiences of folks who have done something similar

At an inflection point

Hey All,

I could use some advice from others in the field. I'm a programmatic director at a community nonprofit with a masters degree

Over half of our full time sraff have quit in the past year. The longer I am at this org, the more I can see that it is not my forever home.

I'm struggling to decide what to do with my career at this point, and could use stories from others. I don't know whether I should leave nonprofit, as this is my chosen career, or leave my town which I love to pursue opportunities higher up in the field.

So, I see my three options as the following

  1. Stay with this org and hope something in the local nonprofit sector opens up in the relatively near future

  2. Attempt to transition out of non profit while staying in this community.

  3. Look out of my community for nonprofit opportunities.

If I work towards option 2, have others transitioned out of this field, and what have you transitioned to?

Thanks,
