Life

Reps, not phases.

I train most days. Calisthenics, a run, and a ride when I need to think without my phone in my hand. It isn't about looking a certain way. It's the part of the day where I get out of my head.

Calisthenics rewards the same thing math does: showing up for the boring middle part. Progress is slow, you only see it looking back, and you earn all of it.

A normal week

How often each kind of training happens in a normal week
PracticeHow oftenDays out of seven
Calisthenics 5 days a week
Run Every day, at least two miles, even when I don't feel like it
Meditation A few minutes every day, which keeps the rest from turning rigid
A long ride When something is on my mind
