. . . although J W-K is a fabulous topic!
I had the opposite problem to yours, Glaconman. That is, trying to find time to fit my life in around my running. For good or bad a series of illnesses/ injuries has restored natural order and I can start to think about this objectively.

Try assigning one or two evenings (or early mornings, if that's your bag) per week for 30/ 40 minute sessions. It can be daunting staring at a RW training schedule, wondering how the hell you're going to manage 'all that' each week. Establishing a 'lesser' routine will help you set up your own, more realistic schedule. Last year, training for London, the only 'regular' run I did was on a Sunday morning. Some weeks I managed only 2 mid-week jaunts of 40 minutes to an hour, and when I had to travel abroad for work, not even that.

I still managed to attain a level that allowed me to complete the Marathon. OK, I was far from at my optimum, but this is the real world. We can't all get 40 miles per week under our feet, and certainly not every week.
