Thanks mate. Yeah I plan on playing the season out and will assess from there. Am skipping this week and will hopefully be good to go next week.
Feel like I'm whingeing a bit but it seems like a 1 step forward 2 steps back at the moment.
Nah it's not about being soft or anything, you just have to be really smart and measured with this type of training. Can't neglect anything as there are just so many possible injuries you can't 'push through' no matter how big of a stoic you are. Even minor/moderate stuff can prevent you doing the meat of the program effectively (e.g. squatting big, jumping, sprinting, bounding). So don't feel bad about getting your ducks in a row. AELS and all that!

aels!
i'd be curious to see if Coges sees any improvement in recovery once he's on a consistent 8 hour sleep schedule instead of ~6 hours. It could make a major difference eventually.. we'll have to wait and see.

honestly I should have WAAAY more posts in that thread..QuoteI'm pretty conscious that two of my major flaws have been sleep and nutrition and I'm pretty sure that getting these two lined up would make a massive difference. Life changing.
nice! eventually just go for it.. i'm trying to do the same right now with:
- going to sleep at ~11 PM (or earlier) and waking up at 6 AM
- eating clean af, more spinach salads and such
going good so far.. i think it'll take a few more weeks before i feel "much more awake" in the mornings. Right now after my morning runs, I feel like sleeping. I'd like that to disappear heh.
pc!!
I've been loving your IG salad fest and it's inspiring me to get more veg in my diet. I eat a decent amount but probably nowhere near enough.
ha cool! ya man I feel GREAT when I eat those salads. And by GREAT I mean, just energetic, no carb/food coma/lethargic feeling.. something about spinach, olive oil, cheese, and milk.. just an epic combo of nutrients. I always eat 9 oz of spinach, which contains alot of potassium/vit A/iron/calcium.
i've got to reload on spinach tomorrow.
the only odd thing is how it makes my teeth feel.. I have to brush my teeth not long after eating these salads otherwise my teeth "feel dry" (probably all of the iron or something, dno).

I started a sleep diary a few days back. Simply tracking when I go to bed, wake up and eventually get up. At least I can put together something after a month or so to see the impact. I remember a podcast with a sleep expert who was saying that initially when people get more sleep they feel worse and they often associate the two and think they operate better on less. It's just the body adapting and you need to stick with it. I get this all the time where I feel pretty great on 6 hours but lethargic on 8 and have thought that I'm just better on 6 but have never given myself enough of the 8's to make a difference.
Also, it's spring here so looking forward to more sunshine and time outside. That will no doubt help with the sleep and training motivation too.
nice!
ya that adaptation portion is the tough part.. got to just stick with it.
i feel lethargic on > 8 .. I think I feel "perfect" on 8.. on 7 or less I feel like i'm definitely a bit sleep deprived. At my previous job I got by most often with 6 or less, very often 4 and sometimes 0 (all nighters) .... man it added up and just eventually crushed me. The worst side effect I got from it was my heart started racing at night when i'd try to fall asleep .. I probably did some damage HEH! All of this cardio/eating healthy/getting enough sleep is hopefully reversing all of that. I'll never do any of that again, that's for sure.. Chronic sleep depravation is like low-dose poison.
pc!
