# Health & Fitness

Health and fitness underpin everything else. Without consistent physical training and good recovery habits, writing quality drops, decision-making suffers, and energy for the business fades. This responsibility covers structured cycling training, gym work, nutrition awareness, and preparing for endurance events like gran fondos — treating the body as infrastructure, not an afterthought.

## Scope

- Following a structured weekly cycling training plan with volume and intensity targets
- Maintaining a consistent gym routine focused on functional strength and injury prevention
- Tracking resting heart rate and other biomarkers as proxies for overall fitness
- Preparing for specific endurance events and races throughout the season
- Conducting monthly health reviews to assess trends and adjust training load
- Balancing training volume with work demands, especially during high-output content weeks

## Current state

The cycling season is in full swing, and monthly volume is tracking at or above 300 km per month. Resting heart rate is holding in a good range, which suggests the aerobic base is solid. Gym sessions have been more inconsistent — they tend to get squeezed when the content calendar is packed, which is a pattern worth addressing.

Race preparation for upcoming gran fondos is on track, but the transition between base-building and race-specific intensity blocks needs more deliberate planning. The monthly health review has been useful for catching overtraining signals early, though adherence to the review cadence has slipped a few times this year.
