HOW TO BE WORLD CLASS

I went from average to world-class – this is how I did it, and how you can do it.

[Hint: Age is your friend]

THREAD 👇👇👇

This is me in 1988 – 27yrs old. Slim, light build.

Not long before this photo my girlfriend persuaded me to join a running club. I always liked running but never took it seriously, but I had taken part in a few ‘fun runs’.

So I start training at an athletics track with a coach but also designing my own sessions and weekly/monthly programme.

My first 800m race a few weeks after I joined was 2:14, ok, but nothing to write home about.

2022 - Build Back Better

I have some idea about the sort of lifestyle which keeps ME feeling young at 60yrs (you do you).

EATING
1 Cut out seed oils
2 Cut out refined carbs and sugars
3 Reduce cereals/grains - pasta, bread,etc

4 Eat meat, seafood, eggs, some non-starchy fruit and veg
5 Don't drink calories (apart from animal blood) - just coffee, tea, water, red wine
6 Take megadose Vit C, (maybe Vit A & D3) as soon as an infection strikes
7 Cycle creatine (optional)

8 Calorie restriction – slight
9 No more than two meals a day
10 Time restricted feeding (18/6)
11 Intermittent Fasting - 24hrs once every 2/3 weeks
12 Intermittent ‘overeating’ - one or twice a week

WINTER SOLSTICE (21 Dec 2021)

Shortest day. Yule. 1st day of (astronomical) Winter.

My family always remind each other of longest/shortest days, the turning of the earth & the cycles of nature.

The winter solstice occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere. For that hemisphere, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year.

Winter Solstice was celebrated in Britain long before the arrival of Christianity. The Druids would cut the mistletoe that grew on the oak tree & give it as a blessing. Oaks were seen as sacred and the winter fruit of the mistletoe was a symbol of life in the dark winter months.
