My Morning Routine and How It’s Changed Over Time
The Flipping 50 Show
In my 20s, I would go for a run within an hour of waking. But as the years went by, I would linger over coffee and my studies or work. Even though I still wanted to move in the morning, I realized the best quality creativity and focus were accessible to me in the first hours of the morning. It wasn’t the same later. Eventually, I realized that if I focus on studying or work on a project and delay my workout until later, I could get another boost of focus when I return, refreshed and showered from exercise. Even when I was training for Iron -distance triathlons, 3 to 4-hour long sessions of...

info_outlineTraining for adventure retreats, aka, bucket list experiences is so much more motivating and fun than routing strength training for bone density or lose belly fat. Some might focus on fitness goals, while others are drawn to living life to the fullest through challenging adventures. So who are you?
You don’t have to pick a side to decide if this episode is for you or not. Many, if not all, will experience heat in summer, some humidity, some altitude. This may happen during climate change where you live or when you travel..
In this episode, I will give you what it takes to prepare for adventure retreats, highlighting the importance of training for demanding experiences.
Key to success is trusting a coach with experience in similar adventures and coaching. Understanding the key elements of training and how to start. I’ll share with you some insider points for preparing retreat attendees for altitude in June in Colorado and in September at the Grand Canyon.
They bring unique challenges. Similar to the 8 Iron distance triathlons I’ve done, going from flatland to altitude or to sea level with heat and humidity from a cold dry climate. It’s all about understanding the stress you’ll be under, how to prepare for it muscularly, biomechanically, and biologically.

- How to train for altitude at flat [00:13:30]
- How to train for heat or humidity in cool or dry climates [00:13:50]
