Athletic Greens

This morning I gave in to the targeted endorsement by my favourite podcasters and subscribed to Athletic Greens, a supplement which promises to work wonders for my gut and to boost my energy levels. 
Only time will tell if it lives up to the hype, but what I do know is that I am constantly looking for ways to experiment and change my daily rituals to optimize my mental and physical well-being in 2023

In time, I'll dive deeper (i.e. geek out!) into the specifics and look for performance differentiators, but for now, I'm targeting a few areas simultaneously with simple changes to create a baseline:

• Improving sleep quality to feel rested by eliminating alcohol, screens at night, and going to bed early.
• Stable energy levels throughout the day by changing my nutrition and paying attention to my hydration.
• Building physical strength for longevity by planning my running and cross-training daily.
• Time management for better productivity by scheduling my days, weeks, months, and year and reviewing.
• Clarity of mind to become a better human being by meditating and journaling.

In running, achievements are the result of small improvements compounded daily through training and routines. Since I opened up to the opportunity to adopt the same approach to change and improve my life outside of running, I feel empowered by the prospect.

New Shoes day! The Saucony Peregrine 12 trail shoes felt great on the first outing, let's wait a few days before celebrating... 
Easy fartlek session on the trails, remaining in my 7.5/10 perceived effort
