Strength and Peloton double

Training has been a bit light over the last few days but today I enjoyed 30 mins strength (TRX and weights), followed by a 30 mins Power Endurance Peloton ride, to clear out the cobwebs.

I have been listening to countless podcasts about the best training and longevity strategies - so many different and opposing ideas. After month (years) of research I have broken it down to the following core themes, that are most commonly recommended:

- 3x strength sets per week, resistance and big weights

- maintain VO2 levels (ideally 50+)

- 1-2x high-intensity sets (Peloton/Zwift)

- 1x long easy run or cycle (1-3 hours)

- Eat real foods, keep protein high (above 100g)

- Ditch process foods and limit sugar and salty snacks

- Eat fibre and look after gut health

- Take 5g+ of creatine daily

- Limit alcohol (weekly treat)

- Get to sleep and awake at similar times during the week

- Get 7-8 hours of quality sleep

- Keep stress low

I think that does it!

Also spent a bit of time today reviewing the proposed June bikepacking adventure to Brussels - getting there.
