Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, April 14, 2022 11:30 AM Today I'm sharing a fantastic success story from Mark's Daily Apple reader Nic, who accomplished a tremendous physical feat with smart training and nutrition. Have you improved your health, tackled a fitness goal, or overcome obstacles with the help of the Primal Blueprint? Share your story with the MDA community by contacting me here. Your story will inspire others! I signed up for the Marathon des Sables (MdS) about a year before the event was to take place in 2022. In terms of race experience at the time of signing up, I had run many marathons but only one 50km ultra race. For those not familiar, the MdS is a self-sufficient race. There is a nightly Bivouac (to be shared among 8 people) provided by the organisation. Although water is supplied, it is keenly rationed. It is up to you to carry everything else you might need across the 6 stage, 7 day 145-mile course, up and down any Jebels and dunes. Apart from the required physical ability to complete the race, it then becomes about the planning, training, testing and evaluating what works. Living in England, UK whilst training, there is a distinct difference from the expected race conditions and a lack of available options to replicate training scenarios without extensive international travel; but you focus on controlling the variables you can! I came across the Primal Endurance audiobook by accident. I had to use up my membership credits to an audiobook subscription, and with a natural interest in endurance running, I chose this book. I was ignorant to the real basis of the book, assuming it was more technical form than taking things back to working on one's internal aerobic engine. The analogy in the book is adapting your body to be a clean-burning electric engine versus one that burns fossil fuels and generates various nasties as unnecessary byproducts. Early listening of the book had me fascinated, although slightly skeptical because I am a Vegan. Paleo and Vegan—tricky for sure, but thankfully I am a very basic eater. The more natural the food the better. There is a history of gluten intolerance in my family. Both my Grandfather and Father are coeliacs, so the wheat rejection part of the process really resonated with me and gave me the final push to avoid wheat where at all possible. (Thankfully I am not a coeliac and do not show any intolerance so the occasional accidental exposure is okay.) The preceding five to six months prior to the Marathon des Sables I aligned more and more to the blueprint set out in the Primal Endurance book, even creating Maximum Sustained Power (MSP) workouts for the gym to condition myself, prior to hitting the sauna for a pass at heat acclimation. Preparing for a multi-day race event presents unique challenges and misalignments with the Primal Endurance methodology. I had to condition my body and mind for the fatigue of multi-day 20+ miles attempts, but I did my best to follow the spirit … Continue reading "Success Story: Completing the Marathon des Sables Using Primal Principles" The post Success Story: Completing the Marathon des Sables Using Primal Principles appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
