The last several weeks I’ve been experimenting with tweaks to nutrition, lifestyle and daily habits to investigate the benefits of certain personal best practices that have yielded results, both with athletes of all kind, as well as non-athletes going about their day.
Let us summarize some of the changes:
Nutritional:
· Last two weeks, significantly reduced, near eliminated, beer / alcohol intake
· Last two weeks, substantial increase in vegetables and plant-based products (reduced meats)
· No red meat
Lifestyle:
· Sleep improvement. More structured routine has improved sleep duration and quality
· Standing workstation at the office (improved posture and core engagement)
Training / Physical:
· Core, Core, Core!!!
· 30 minute massage every 2-4 weeks
· Bi/Monthly chiropractic appointment
· Focused run form: posture, cadence, posterior chain engagement
· ~12-15 hours a week of multisport and functional strength training
As a result, I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in years, if not ever. It’s way too early to tell to what extent each of these elements have played in my overall improvement in feel, but I’ve definitely noticed the change. I’ve experienced a surge in power, vitality and overall well being.
The experiment continues. More to come…
