A Call to Endurance Athletes and Being Coached By Your 80-Year-Old Self

inline_pb_pemaster_fuel_mda645Competitive endurance athletes: It’s time for reflection and formulating a winning 2018 plan….

For endurance athletes, the colder and darker days of fall coincide with the winding down of the race calendar. Whether lofty goals were achieved or struggles predominated over victories, there is always a big sigh of relief for a break from the grind of training and the pressure of competition. There is also a sense of satisfaction that regardless of whether arbitrary goals were attained, at least you put yourself out there on the start line and gave it your best. The off season is also a time for reflection and recalibration. A competitive athlete is always looking for ways to learn from experience and improve.

The Primal Endurance Online Mastery Course is our effort to provide you with all the tools you need to implement a winning training and lifestyle strategy for the 2018 season and beyond. The Primal Endurance approach will help you avoid the incredibly common and disastrous mistakes that most endurance athletes make again and again. I’m talking about chronic exercise/overstress patterns leading to breakdown, stagnant performances and burnout. Instead, I want you to envision a refreshing new approach where you protect your health even in pursuit of ambitious fitness goals and you experience uninterrupted improvement instead of hit and miss performances.

The details and tons of freebie content to help you make an informed decision are housed at primalendurance.fit.

I also think you might enjoy this insightful video from Olympic triathlon gold and silver medalist Simon Whitfield—an excerpt from much more content in the Mastery course—where he offers the unforgettable advice to be “coached by your 80-year-old self.”

Simon reached the very top in his career, but he also struggled and had to reflect and recalibrate often. I encourage you to do the same: don’t accept the flawed conventional wisdom that struggling and suffering is a necessary component of your athletic experience. Strive to get smarter, learn from the experts, but always let your intution be your main guiding force.

The off season is a good time for self-reflection, obtain further education from experts, and formulate a precise plan of action to execute in the future. Hopefully, the Primal Endurance Mastery Course can help—as can engaging with fellow Primal enthusiasts on the Primal Endurance Facebook Group. Email info@primalendurance.fit if you have any questions.

Thanks for your interest, everybody. In the meantime, I’d love to know what you think of Simon’s perspective as well as any questions about training or fitness you’d like me to take up in future posts.

Have a great week!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
