8 To Go
There’s only about 8 weeks to go until the Tour de Cure team haul out of Adelaide en route to Canberra. This year being my 7th Tour I’ve decided to do something different with my training. For the last 6 weeks I’ve been following the primal lifestyle. There’s been a lot written and talked about in terms of primal, ancestral or paleo living, and being on the land now, it suits our lifestyle and eating habits.
Essentially it’s about eating high protein, high fat, all grass fed meat and zero grains or processed food. The first couple of weeks were a bit tough as my body adapted. Although I was pretty close to this lifestyle already, some subtle changes did make a difference. The biggest influence for me was Mark Sisson’s book ‘The Primal Blueprint’. I’ve also taken a different approach to training with less intensity, more regularity, more strength work and more cross training. Time will tell whether it pays off, but if wellness is any indicator, then this is definitely a lifestyle that people should investigate.
It’s good to change things up and with 6 Tours in the bag and the 7th about to happen, I like the idea of challenging nutrition, wellness, exercise and overall nature of personal health. I certainly won’t be one of the youngest on Tour which is even more reason to go down this primal lifestyle path, as it is a good anti-ageing antidote and good for the mind. I guess the other good thing about this way of life is it’s totally anti cancer. Who knows, if it works we might even try to introduce some into other areas of our foundation.
