Per-Dolorem

I went on to a minimalist journey already multiple times and failed miserably every single time. This time is no different. No it is not what you think. My issue is not physical. Well, it actually is, but not how you would think. I have been living in barefoot shoes since 2008 or 9. Started with the TerraPlana Aqua and the first black-orange KSO and never looked back. I have used all sorts of brands and models for living and hiking. However for running, I just cannot get my head around the pain. The thing is that some can do it. The question is, is it worth it and what is the point ?  I talk about foot pain. I run on terrain, what used the be the low elevation extension of the Pyrenees and Corsica. It is called Esterel. There are a couple of places around here what is very similar, but from different sort of mountains. The Calanques de Marseille is the same very painful, sharp rocky environment, but all from white rocks. It is Calcaire. Just like the St Victoire or the Créte de Cheiron

This is a very sad way to perish. To have your old days going and knowing that you did not give everything you got. I don't feel like that you have to have a goal. I though am absolutely sure, that you must look for that goal, that passion. The only way to do so is to gather information. If you don't have the knowledge of something, if you don't know about, don't learn about something, how would you know that "this is my calling" ? How would you know ? When you don't have knowledge, you don't have questions. The more you know the more question you ask.  The question is, how to gather the most knowledge, so you can either go for your passion, or go for finding that passion ? The simple answer is taking action. The complex answer is learning, working, acting, behaving, attitude, breathing, controlling, discipline, THINKING and much more. One of the most significant messages from the "Book of 5 Rings" is a very simple phrase, that the Samurai li

Nous pouvons apprendre de nombreuses personnes tout au long de notre vie. Cela inclut tout, même l'entraînement. Cependant, nous ne devrions suivre personne aveuglément. Nous devrions pratiquer, essayer et faire des choses que nous avons apprises, mais nous devrions aussi créer et faire des choses uniques que personne d'autre ne fait. Personnaliser. Pratiquer des choses, créer des combinaisons, travailler sur des compétences et des mélanges de compétences que personne d'autre ne possède.   En ce qui concerne l'entraînement, j'ai eu de nombreuses révélations sur les méthodes que j'ai essayées et testées. Rien n'a jamais vraiment résonné avec moi. C'est normal, car mon esprit cherchait son propre chemin.Bien que la méthode Mafetone soit fantastique, je ne pense pas que négliger toutes les autres zones de fréquence cardiaque soit une bonne idée. Même pour une personne malade et obèse. De plus, il peut y avoir de nombreuses occasions où même "MAF - 15&q

Do things that you don't want to do That is rule number one. These are the little things and the big things. When you train your muscles, heart and lungs, later on when you race, you use that experience.  There is no like, brain work involved. It is not like, that you call on an experience during a race, that "yes I did this and this workout, with these and these splits, at this HR, so now I can go faster and tough it out". No. Your body has changed it's physiology, so now you can descend better, your muscles work more in harmony, your fibers are tougher, your tendons have more resistance and more elasticity, your joints are more bouncy, you have better quality intro-articular fluid, better electrolyte use, better carb/fat use ratio and so on and so on. You have a measurable improvement present in your system so you can perform better.  This is why, for me, imagination work, visualization techniques, thinking about winning or battling it out, about completing and fini
