01
Your calendar is where most health advice goes to die.
The wearable says recover. The board pack says midnight. The plan says Zone 2. The flight lands at 06:10.

FROM A RECENT ISSUE
“I pulled the jar from the fridge, still cold. Standing at the kitchen counter between two training sessions, I ate 300 grams of raw minced meat and 300 grams of raw sauerkraut. It felt like I was doing something for my body that most people were too soft to do.”
