It’s not unusual to get asked about my training, particularly with the amount I run. People from the local area occasionally stop me to ask, “Do you ever stop running?” while friends who see some of my workouts tend to respond with, “That’s not normal.”

Whilst I take both as compliments, the reality is less unusual than it may appear on the face of it. As with most things in life, dig deeply enough and what seems out of the ordinary usually has a clear explanation.

Since discovering Cryotherapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy nearly a year ago now, they’ve become a firm staple of my recovery routine. Whilst I’d tried Red Light Therapy a couple of times before, I hadn’t prioritised making it a regular commitment.

Recently though, I decided that rather than having RLT down the list as a ‘nice to have’, I wanted to start treating it with the same consistency as my other recovery practices.

I recently added the Consistency in Motion tracker to the site after becoming aware a few months ago of an upcoming milestone of sorts, crossing the cumulative distance of 24,901 miles tracked on Strava since I started using it in November 2020.

I remember early in my management career being handed a copy of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. At the time, I found it incredibly relatable and have gone on to recommend it to many colleagues and friends over the years.

To my knowledge though, The 6 Types of Working Genius is the first Patrick Lencioni book I’ve picked up since.

I’m generally of the opinion that information should be free for all. Reading Biological War: A Scenario, however, did give me reason to pause and reflect on this though, not necessarily on the material but on the seeds that it may plant in the wrong minds.

I'm not entirely sure which of my recent reads brought Follow the Money into my Audible recommendations. Given the nature of my reading list though, it's probably more surprising that it hadn't appeared sooner.
