Starting Over

In the past I've done this before. Back in college for competitive weight lifting I tracked my sessions like this, on the road to my first Ironman it was the same way and I even did it for fundraising purposes. I think the last one annoyed people the most. None of it seemed to go anywhere.

Why? Because it didn't offer anything.

 I don't have any expert advice to offer, or air tight training plans, shit I don't have endless inspirational pictures with quotes over them. I'm like you. I work 40-60 hours a week at a demanding job. I do my best to balance a personal life on top of that. In my limited spare time during the week I cram in the training. Because I don't just race, I do my best to excel at it. Like you, I pour over articles, studies, and lists like "10 superfoods for every athlete". But it is easy for these trainers/pros who spend their 40-60 hours a week meticulously training and prepping while the rest of us go for a run at lunch and read these articles on the toilet our break. And we wonder "does that shit really work?". That's when I realized

That's what I have to offer.

I love to be my own human guinea pig. Trial and error to see what works for people like us. From ice baths every night, to bone broth and compression socks. What I can offer is an unbiased no bull opinion on fads or trends, diet, gear and all things that go along with training. Every week I'll be putting myself into a new trend or testing out new gear to see how it affects training and results. No sponsored content, no pro athlete experience, just an athlete like you. 

So if you want to see what works, what's a bunch of trainer/pro propaganda and what is done right nonsense. 

I look forward to the road ahead. And what kind of crazy shit I'll try

Let's do it for science.
