A thread on finding yours:
Are you a runner? Do you have a weekly mileage goal? Maybe you're preparing for a 10K, half or full marathon, or even an ultra?
Awesome—I love it! 💪 💪
And...
Here's an ATG-style routine you could add on rest days to strengthen common weak links, increase mobility, and keep running!
Read on for Part 2 in a series demonstrating how ATG movements can enhance and balance out the exercise you are already doing:

Love what he said, and how he said it. I once tried to make a similar point, far less eloquently, to a white female executive whom I had hired on the basis of her merit and her perspective, which was completely different than mine.
She almost quit!
Next time using this instead
In the name of diversity, we’ve completely sacrificed true diversity of thought.
In the name of inclusion, we’ve created an exclusionary culture where certain views just aren’t welcome.
When I see this and wonder to myself, “how did we end up with a president who seemingly doesn’t understand capitalism?”
I answer the question with “This message must be resonating with a large group of people who actually don’t understand capitalism.”
Let me be clear to any corporation that hasn’t brought their prices back down even as inflation has come down: It’s time to stop the price gouging.
Give American consumers a break.
Waking up at 5:45 am solves 99.9% of daily issues.
12 other unreasonably simple habits to change your life:
1. Grab your to-do list. Do the thing you want to do least, first.
2. Stop all 60 min meetings, make them 45 minutes. Tighter meetings, more time.
3. No social media, email, or text when you wake up. Write something, read something, or create something before you get sucked in.
4. Do the $1,000/hr Test. Group work in 3 buckets based on return: $10, $100, $1,000. Offload one low ROI task per day.
5. Change one meeting a week to a walking call. Watch how excited the other meeting member becomes.
6. Add a How vs Won't check-in. When you say, "that WON'T work." Instead ask, "How could that work?"
7. Be the dumbest one in your friend group, then move on when you’re not. As they say, if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.
8. Take a picture of your net worth. What gets measured gets managed. Check finances daily.
9. Always the stairs, never the elevator. Pick the hard option. See how much stronger you are than you think.
10. Never write to-dos in stone. You're 10x more productive if you reprioritize daily.
11. Meditate. 10 minutes a day. For a twofer - do it in the sauna. Sometimes hacking culture gets it right.
12. Get intimidated. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Do something every day that scares you a little bit.
Life is the small things repeated daily.
Change one daily habit, and beautiful things start to happen…
So pick one.
Some interesting charts attached. What are the takeaways:
1) RoW is falling behind US companies. If you look at global indices like MSCI World Index - a good proxy for global growth, it shows the relative strength of the US vs the rest of the world.
2) As an implication of this, non US companies trade at a large and growing discount to their American peers. You’d much rather own an American business doing X vs an equivalent company abroad doing the same thing. This is a measure of trust and reliability of the US company, country and economy over their counterparts abroad.
3) A large percentage of American exceptionalism is concentrated in the top ten companies. This crowding can make for odd behavior in those stocks that can’t be easily explained entirely by earnings of those companies. This is because there may be few incremental buyers of scale left since everyone already owns them. And lots of folks will switch between companies after earnings (ie TSLA v GOOG v MSFT behavior of the past week is a good example).
Conclusion: America is not only doing well on a standalone basis but faring much better than the rest of the world on a relative basis.
This is the basis of most of my economic rationale - keep the relative picture in mind!
Now, if we can keep our deficits down and stay out of participating and funding foreign wars, it will create an economic miracle for the US.
1) Take Breaks
If you don't take breaks from caffeine, your body adjusts, and there's no point in using it.
- Take afternoons off
- Take one day off a week
- Take one week off a quarter
Regular breaks from caffeine will maintain its maximum effectiveness.
Andrew Huberman has been instrumental in improving my overall knowledge of health and fitness.
He outlines 5 key habits to "re-up" every 24 hours to maximize our health.
Here they are:
1) Sunlight
Sunlight is our most neglected energy source.
It boosts Vitamin D levels
It regulates metabolic health
It regulates circadian rhythm
If you want to be functioning at your best metabolically and hormonally, aim for at least 30-60 minutes of sun exposure every day.
*Pro-tip: View sunlight as soon as possible when you wake up, and view the sunset each day. This will help regulate your circadian rhythm, which will help you sleep better and maintain higher energy each day.
2) Relationships
Scary stat:
Loneliness has the same effects on our health and longevity as smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day.
We are social creatures. We need social interaction daily to feel healthy and happy. It's no coincidence that in cultures where community is strongest, they also tend to live the longest. Even if it’s through a phone call or social media, making time for your relationships every day is crucial for your health.
3) Nutrition
The quality of your energy, mood, and health is determined by the quality of your nutrition.
Good nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated:
• Eat until ~80% full
• Drink a gallon of water a day
• Prioritize protein with each meal
• Eat real foods and avoid processed ones
• Use supplements on top of a healthy diet, not in spite of
4) Sleep
The hustle culture notion of “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” is (luckily) a dying phrase.
Lack of sleep actually speeds up the process of death. Getting a few more hours of sleep a night can add 5 years to your lifespan.
Aim for 7-9 hours
Sleep in a cool, dark room
Stop eating ~ 3 hours before bed
Supplement magnesium glycinate
Turn off screens ~ 1 hour before bed
5) Movement
Our ancestors used to walk ~17,000 steps a day. Now we walk on average ~4,000.
Movement is crucial for our metabolic health, cardiovascular health, cognitive functioning, energy levels, and overall well-being:
Walk after meals
Walk after waking up
Walk between meetings
Aim for 10,000 steps a day
Do 60-120 minutes of zone 2 cardio a week
You don’t have to run a marathon.
But you do have to move every single day.
Recap: 5 things to reset every 24 hours from Dr. Huberman:
• Sleep
• Sunlight
• Nutrition
• Movement
• Relationships
