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

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!

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