@elonmusk Hiring a McKinsey consultant to run your company is like trying to drive a car for the first time after reading a book about it.

Top 5 things I learned this past year, going from nearly a decade of no track training to breaking my 13-year old mile PR in 11 months:
1) Consistency trumps all. The "trial of miles" thing is real. There is no secret and there are no shortcuts.
2) You must treat weights, PT, and rest with the same respect you treat running.
3) Strength equals speed. A wise coach once said "it's not about how fast you can run, it's about how fast you can run while tired". Still applies to mid distance.
4) Mileage requires patience. It took me 6 months to get to 40 miles a week- any faster and I very well may have gotten injured.
5) It gets more fun as you get more fit. My first few interval workouts and time trials in 2024 were very unpleasant. Now they're fun.

Incredibly stoked to see what 2025 has in store.

Seek guidance and assistance with your BUOYANCY CONTROL - Good buoyancy control helps you relax, enjoy your dives more, conserve air, and avoid accidentally making contact with marine life or the environment. You'll have so much more fun if you can avoid constantly struggling to maintain the right position and attitude underwater. Consider taking the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course (or other similar class).

Never hold your breath while scuba diving. If you take a breath at depth, you are breathing air at the same atmospheric pressure as the surrounding water (i.e., filling your lungs with compressed air basically). If you then ascend, that air EXPANDS in your lungs and if you are holding your breath, it will damage or burst your lungs causing pulmonary barotrauma, which is absolutely life-threatening. You should definitely talk to your PADI (or other certifying body) certified instructor about this and understand it well before taking your first breath of compressed air.
