Main Quest Prepare for a 99 miler on August 8-9. News Year's Resolutions Keep Calm & Play Challenge Introduction So there is only 2.15 challenges until my 99 miler (granted there are 2 two week breaks in that time too). So I want to focus on long runs. Also after this challenge is a 5k I am running, so I want to do some 5k specific work too to see if I can get a PR again. I plan to keep doing barbells workouts (but aiming for 2 times a week instead of 3). And I want to add in daily bodyweight exercise. Last challenge I did great going 95% primal and want to continue that. Near the end of the challenge I added several days of skipping breakfast (aka intermittent fasting) and this works fairly well for me. Growing up I used to skip lunch nearly every day and through intermittent fasting it makes more sense to skip breakfast to have a longer fast window and to optimize fat burning (which I want for the 99 miler). I thought about having a goal for this but I kind of like just doing it based on feel instead and see the being primal as the real goal.
