A 5K felt like a 10-miler :/
I was training for the 2026 @tatamummarathon, but my body wasnβt recovering. Sleep, digestion, energy, and fatigue everything went downhill. I eventually had to surrender the race.
Antriksh and I went full @bryan_johnson mode. WHOOP, yoga, breathwork, NSDR (@hubermanlab), meditation, supplements, strict sleep schedules. More on this here: https://t.co/rggXPYnI8i
Our recovery routine was becoming a second training plan.
The things that helped the most were the ones that pulled our nervous system out of 'stress' mode and into 'rest and digest'. But when we needed them most, another routine was the last thing we had energy for.
Could we make that easier?
Thatβs why weβre building @feelglint: a small ear wearable that gently stimulates the vagus nerve, the main line of your rest-and-digest system, through your ear. ~40 minutes a day.
One month in, our WHOOP data vs. our baselines:
β’ Mean resting HR: down 1.5 bpm
β’ Recovery score: up ~11.6 points, adjusted for total sleep
Two people. One month. But we feel weβre onto something.
If you train seriously and want to train more consistently while recovering faster, weβre opening an exclusive founding beta cohort for ~25 runners. Your feedback will shape what we build. Details in the link below.
