I have a lot of time now but I've not been idle. My training schedule is looking something like this:
Stretching Sequence 2x/day+
Apnea Practice 2x/wk C02/02 Tables
Running 5-6x/wk at least a mile, 1-2 longer runs during the course of the week
Cycling 3-4x/wk out of necessity, usually no more than 20 miles per day
Swimming 2-3x/wk Lake Natomas swim across the Lake
Climbing 2-3x/wk Traversals at BV, Tree Climbs, Tree Squeezing
Acro once/wk
Parkour 5-6x/wk specific PK work
Strength Training 3-4x/wk
Daily Meditation 25-40min/day+
Daily Reading 1 chapter+ cycling between a few different books
Guitar practice once/wk
Drawing practice 1/wk
Dieting: whole foods plant-based diet
It may seem like a lot but I'm combining a lot of things together which gives me better movement "nutrition" so to speak so it doesn't always cash out as 8 straight hours of grueling torture every day. I'm cycling intensity as well. I spend quite a lot of time in relax mode via meditation and stretching in between my different bouts of training as well. My diet, though I have had many slip ups, always includes a ton of fruits and veggies. So with the meditation, stretching/prehab, diet, and adequate sleep I am mitigating a lot of the factors that would normally lead to overtraining. I know to back off too if I'm not feeling right and fight another day.I'm regaining a lot of my strength as well, every step forward toward my previous strength and skill makes me feel very fulfilled. I'm somewhat addicted lately, tapping into my obsessive nature for the power of good. I want to talk about all these different practices but each deserve their own post as I have delved quite deeply into my reasoning for each one.
