Solid first quarter 🔋
It’s taken some trial and error but the weekly training split seems to have been cracked.
A lot of moving parts with the addition of cycling and swimming over the past 6 months.
Trying to improve across a lot of disciplines is a logistical nightmare some weeks, not to mention doing everything I can to not look like a runner or cyclist 😅
(no offence my runners/cyclists 🙏🏼)
But I’m ticking boxes much more consistently this year with the help of a time management planner and a hard line on saying no to stuff.
Double days and doms very much the norm.
With calorie burn so high, I’ve stepped away from MFP for first time in over a decade.
Instead I’ve had a big push on eliminating UPF’s. Some really simple swaps and label checking have kept nutrition quality much higher.
(Before you ask, monster’s aren’t out, that’s a UPF I can’t let go 😂)
Just more intuitive eating. Responding when I feel ravenous, tapering back when I don’t.
Recovery protocols have gone from an occasional fall back, to a daily necessity. You name it I’m probably doing it.
Not to mention work, family, social life and everything in between.
The immediate goal is a triathlon, but I’ll layup cards on the table and say there’s an 18 month plan in place for a full iron man. Scary thought rn.
It’s certainly the most meaningful and fulfilling training had felt in a long time.
The reward really is in the work.
Roll on Q2 💪🏼
