This is heartening to me, since in the early days, people thought I was nuts for eating like this. This stuff is not in our evolutionary diet. Though I’m learning they’re the real killer.
Sometimes I’ll have a pizza or a fried whatever, once or twice a week. But I’m much more satisfied on this diet. I’m pretty greedy by nature, so I don’t totally eat that way. If I’m eating a lot of meat, I get much fuller, so I can eat as much as I need. And I’ll do it with a clock, Tabata style, and with functional kettlebell work, too.Īre you counting calories and macros or is it kept in line by the fasting and diet limits? Are the weights heavy? You squatting double body weight? It’s more about strength, flexibility for the long term.īut you built up your base. It keeps my bones and muscles strong, and the swimming and stretching keeps me flexible. You’re in a difficult place, carrying weight on your back. There’s a lot of concentration involved in guiding people. I’m always tired at the end of Running Wild. And I’m 48.ĭoes the diet help these workouts? Does it help keep you less tired when you’re adventuring? When I was in the military, I could do max 15, now I do 25 pull-ups with a weighted vest routinely. It’s 10 minutes, and I’ve gotten really good at it. And I started a thing a year ago where before weights I do 25 pull-ups, 50 press-ups, 75 squats and 100 sit-ups. I’ll do a yoga session once a week, and stretch 15 minutes to start the day. I play touch tennis, for cardio, and three good weight sessions a week, 30 or 40 minutes. I work out in the community with my military veterans fitness company, where vets run the training sessions-half of my training is that. I tend to have it rare, but I like it cooked, unless I’m in survivor mode. Food is a great pleasure, and it can be cooked so beautifully. If I’m at home, I’m not going to be tucking into raw steak and liver. It’s not difficult, but it’s not very pleasant. It can-I’ve done so much over the years: Drinking blood from a buffalo artery, munching on raw liver and heart. Has that leaked over to when you’re not adventuring? You have a cast-iron stomach, and have eaten a lot of out there food. Then I’ve got enough energy for two days if I don’t find anything to eat. I’ll have a big breakfast before I go: Scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon, and fruit. I feel I need the energy from food I find.

Running Wilds are 36 hours, then I go back to normal circumstances. I just throw good quality jerky in there. If I’m on an adventure, I used to eat nuts and oat bars, but I don’t do that anymore.
