This resonates. Things I gravitated to in the past few years:
- Morning run 5/7 days; always outside, rain, sun, snow, doesn't matter
- Vary the run; sometimes slow, sometimes faster, sometimes intervals; 30-50 minutes; nose breathing when the pace is slow
- Intervals: used to Tabata style only but have now started experimenting; currently doing 2mins fast, 4mins slow, 4-6 reps; this has had a big impact on VO2 max; Tabatas are great but I don't always have the raw will to do them
- Doing mostly functional strength training, sometimes with a personal trainer for guidance and to learn new exercises; huge impact on my posture and overall strength despite weights that would make most people chuckle; expensive but worth every cent in my opinion
- no calories after dinner (which we eat around 630pm); breakfast after the run - makes for a natural daily fasting period of 13-15 hrs
- bfast is a shake with macadamia, cashews, spinach, 4-5 types of fresh fruit, some protein powder (only the best kind, no flavors), some creatine, camu camu berry powder (highest vitamin C content with all the other co-nutrients)
- zero sweet drinks (obviously), including pressed juices
Hard to make this work if you work in the big corporate hamster wheel but I don't 😀
