意味
To be very busy.
文化的背景
In Poland, being busy is often equated with being important or successful. However, there is a counter-movement called 'wolne życie' (slow life) gaining popularity in cities. In Polish offices, 'bycie w biegu' is a standard excuse for not having time for a long lunch, which is less common than in Southern Europe. Polish students often use this during 'sesja' (exam period) to describe the frantic movement between library, exams, and coffee shops. The phrase is much more common in Warsaw or Wrocław than in the Polish countryside, where the pace of life is traditionally perceived as slower.
Shorten it!
In casual speech, you can just say 'Jestem w biegu'. Everyone will understand you're busy.
Case matters
Never say 'w ciągły bieg'. The 'u' at the end of 'biegu' is crucial for the Locative case.

Use with 'żyć'
Use 'żyć w biegu' to describe your personality or lifestyle, not just a single busy day.
The 'Polish Sigh'
When saying this, a small sigh or a look of slight exhaustion makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
