About this audiobook
Primal Endurance shakes up the status quo and challenges the overly stressful, ineffective conventional approach to endurance training. While marathons and triathlons are wildly popular and bring much gratification and camaraderie to the participants, the majority of athletes are continually tired and carry too much body fat respective to the time they devote to training. The prevailing “chronic cardio” approach promotes carbohydrate dependency, overly stressful lifestyle patterns, and ultimately burnout.
Primal Endurance applies an all-encompassing approach that includes primal-aligned eating enhance fat metabolism, building an aerobic base with comfortably paced workouts, strategically introducing high intensity strength and sprint workouts, emphasizing rest, recovery, and an annual periodization, and finally cultivating an intuitive approach to training instead of the usual robotic approach of fixed weekly workout schedules. When you “go Primal” as an endurance athlete, you can expect to enjoy these and other benefits in short order:
- Easily reduce excess body fat and keep it off permanently, even with reduced training
- Reprogram your genes to burn fat and spare glycogen for breakthroughs in endurance performance
- Avoid overtraining, burnout, illness, and injury by improving stress-rest balance in training and life
- Train fewer hours and get better with periodized and purposeful inclusion of high intensity workouts
- Have more fun, be more spontaneous, and break free from the pull of the obsessive/compulsive, Type-A endurance mindset
- Have more energy and better focus during daily life instead of suffering from the “active couch potato syndrome,” with cumulative fatigue from incessant heavy training that makes you lazy and sluggish
Primal Endurance is about slowing down, balancing out, chilling out, having more fun with your endurance pursuits!
