I decided to make it my resolution to remain in isolation.
From this point on is for me to delight my Universe Within.
I had found my purpose in life. That is run Bukit Kiara as often as I can. My sole existence is about mentally and physically preparing for my weekly Bukit Kiara run,
The run is my pivot. Living is what I do between running.
With that, I become the Running Monk of Bukit Kiara. Every week I run and after the run, I will pray at the dead-end road.
On daily basis, I am an Athlete4Life.
If I [] (can) reach the Zen of Personal Bliss by remaining in isolation, then I don't need much to be at the Bliss Point.
The idea is maximum satisfaction with minimum cost.
-----------------------------------------------
If you all agree that I am the prototype, then you got to trust my judgment.
Every day I am pushing it to the brink.
For example, today I pushed my Micro Workout up to 1:00 pm instead of 5:00 pm. That's because I had lunch at 1:30 pm.
That is the limit for today. Instead of following a strict regimentation, I listen to my kigatsuku.
It was the same thing when I completed 6.79 km Bukit Kiara instead of 11 km.
It is better to undertrain by 10% than to overtrain by 2% - Mark Sisson.
The idea is to maintain consistency throughout the week. It will be pointless if I am lethargic when I exercise.
I am suppose to be in my peak health state and progressing from strength to strength.
If I am to make Athlete4Life as a Way of Life, I should be able to sustain the model throughout the entire week.
What it means is I should be able to uphold the routine throughout the week instead of having a sporadic daily performance.
Bear in mind that the whole routine consists of diet and exercise. Therefore, until I establish an equilibrium between the two, striking a balance is a lifelong pursuit.
There is no right answer. We can only set the parameters and test them against real-life implementation.
One thing for sure, once I have lunch, that should be the cap to my exercise for the day. The same goes if I take a nap during midday.
The lesson here is to push as many Micro Workouts before lunch or nap.
Another lesson worth considering is to not carry over the exercises beyond 5:00 pm. Therefore, if I want to win the day, it will have to be in the morning.
After 2:00 pm unless I OMAD, is best reserve for food or sleep.
With that as the hindsight, 9 hours of Micro Workout may be the upper limit. A more practical approach is to do it for 5 hours especially when using heavy weights.
