If you're working 50+ hours a week then it's easy to see why you're struggling to fit in running.
Get a normal 37.5 hour job, preferably somewhere where you can run to/from the office. And/or spend your lunch break with a 50 min run and a 10 min getting ready/shower.
You can make it work. Ron Hill drew a 8 mile radius from his work and bought a house on that line. Then ran to and from work. If it's good enough for someone from the 1970s who ran 2:09, it's good enough for today's society.
Regarding Luke - i wish him luck - but I cant help but sigh when reading the line "I hope to throw all my passion and energy into being an estate agent instead". I'm really not sure it will enrich and fulfil his soul as much as running. There really is nothing quite like running.
37.5 hours job is not normal in the US, and half-hour is becoming normal lunch break.
