I failed myself on purpose on day 35 simply because I'm not recovering properly. I could have carried on, maybe I could have finished, but tbh, I'm not sure anything would have improved.

I'm 52, and started 75 Hard two days after a marathon. Sounds stupid but I felt great and would have been working out anyway.

I've been mixing up workouts between callisthenics, jump rope, heavy sandbags, plyos, running, rucking and mobility. In that time, I felt I'd found a fine balance between the strength and conditioning and the more recovery orientated mobility work.

But over the past 4 weeks my hrv status, sleep and recovery as per my garmin have absolutely tanked. I feel drained. I can still workout and give my best but my god I feel drained.

I remind you, I'd just finished a marathon and all the training that included, mostly running 6/7 times a week, and I never felt like this.

I'm going to give it a day or two and see what happens to my stats then start again. This time, I'm going to sit down and write a more considered program. It might be against the spirit if not the rules of 75 hard but I think I'll sprinkle much more mobility in. I do have a tendency, as Dan John would say, to chase too many rabbits. 🐇 💪

Good luck to everyone on their personal missions. 🫡
