Thanks for sharing Mario - glad you saw value in the sleep piece.

Appreciate you!

Also, love Deek's quarters. There's some discussion in Aus running circles of whether to start or end on the float (mostly because people use this as a rough estimate of 5K time and thus sometimes don't "float" after the last rep) - a fun variant.

FWIW I think it makes more sense to start with the float if for no other reason it helps you to ease in a little more before pushing the first quarter.

Agree Mario - especially if your age start with a 3 or more

Love Deek's quarters! My 5k PB is from this workout 😁😁🙈

That’s one way to do it, haha.

Man, Mario, it feels like this was written just for me. I woke up after a rough night’s sleep, and this was the first thing I read. What a fantastic piece—great work, my friend!

Great stuff! From simplifying running form to the Kruangbin / Leon Bridges mention 💯 - love the content and layout of your post.

Thank you, Anne/Avery! Love that you called out those 2 in particular given that they couldn’t be more unrelated, haha.

Thanks for elaborating on the idea and spirit behind the name of your newsletter. Your passionate writing about all things running and some things about life wisdoms is very much appreciated.

That means a lot, Hans. Thank you so much!
