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.

Another leg day, another personal best recorded. As I touched on in a previous post, incorporating more consistent functional training is continuing to pay dividends for my leg strength. This morning, I hit 172.5kg for a one rep max on the seventh set out of my standard ten.

I’ve mentioned in prior posts the integration of more functional exercises into my training over the past eighteen months or so, however it’s really in the last six months that I’m starting to see the payoff. I’m lifting and sustaining heavier loads, more volume, and longer sessions in the gym.

The Unspeakable Level by Christopher Mayer was a rather unexpected find.

My previous experience of Mayer came through his book 100 Baggers, and based on that I had, incorrectly as it turns out, placed him firmly in the world of general or value investing.

Talking Billions continues to be a strong source of new book recommendations based on recent interviewees. This time it led me to Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
