AIBU about my husbands work/social life

I'm just wondering if I'm being unreasonable or whether my husband needs to prioritize his life a bit better.
He is currently training for a marathon, this means going running twice a week at home after work one being a shortish run and the other he's gone for 4 hours at the most. The other days he uses his lunch break to run/train which is fair. This doesn't bother me a bit but I feel I'm running solo the last few weeks and heavily pregnant too.
Last week he had exams to study for so on the days he wasn't running he was coming home to study. The exams are over now so the marathon training is taking priority again. This week he is running Tuesday after work and working through Friday, Saturday and Sunday (which isn't paid overtime) as well as being in work all week 7-7. I usually work weekends so I've had to book the weekend off to be at home with our 2 other dc as our childminder doesn't do weekends and I've no one else to ask which means I've to work two extra midweek days this week to accommodate his working hours at the weekend. I was okayish with this as it's rare he has to work a weekend but then he said he is going out with friends on Thursday night after work too and then to top that off then announces that whilst he will have to work this weekend he still plans to go for his 4 hour run Sunday morning before heading into workHmm i just feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment and think he could forgo either the night out or the 4 hour run Sunday to give me a bit of a break.

How selfish of him. I would not be having this: training 6 days per week for a hobby while you run the house and do all childcare and work! I’d be telling him he can run 4 days per week max. Depending on his reaction to this, I would then find a hobby to do for my 3/4 days of the week too so he can’t argue it. I can’t believe his lack of respect, you need to speak up and tell him how ridiculous this is. You’re not his maid/nanny.

He is totally taking the piss.
And I bet he is doing it on purpose, so he doesn't have to pitch in at home.

Sort this out before the next baby arrives Flowers
