    • Pace an hour set with “hills and valleys.”

Practical/Actionable Takeaways ✅

  • Vitamin D: take with fat + magnesium + K2 for better absorption.
  • Creatine: start small (e.g., 5 g) before higher doses; watch GI tolerance.
  • Sprint workouts: short, intense sprint sets (e.g., 2×300m, 2×200m + 150s) — 20–30 min session can boost cardiovascular fitness and explosiveness.
  • Altitude training: living/training at higher elevation increases endurance at sea level.
  • Gut health: fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut) can help microbiome.
  • If injured/ill (staph, shingles): seek prompt medical care; antivirals for shingles early.
