Your Endurance Lifestyle. Redesigned.

The basic concept of Endurance Lifestyle Design isn’t entirely new…but how we approach it today most certainly is. The intentional integration of sport and lifestyle represents a fundamental shift in both how we live but in also how the sports we play are perceived by the public at large. For a growing percentage of people, being an endurance athlete is now a badge of honor, not something to hide from the boss.

With all my writing, I realized that it could be really helpful to take a step back and talk big picture. This post is about what I consider to be the basic building blocks of the endurance lifestyle — five core components. It’s a long one, but a good one, and a great deal of my future writing will assume that you “get” these commandments. So break out those flash cards!

Into week 12 of the OS and my 25.3 mile journey around Boston for the Run for Haiti Project (you can still donate!) really took this week to the cleaners. I did my best to make it resemble a standard OutSeason week, but the hole of fatigue from the run was slightly bigger than I anticipated.
