My digest is a collection of inspirational and instructional resources I find interesting and wish to share, including my latest content. To save you time, I pen a quick preview & highlight the key parts to check out.

4 Quick Reads in this edition: a Feb Challenge, a fresh perspective on goal-setting, motivation to get outside for yoga, and a disconcerting, yet interesting look at nutrition research from 50 years ago.

My 2-min take on practicing yoga in the outdoors. I filmed this last summer in stunning Braunwald, Switzerland. I slept out in the open overnight to film in the morning light there. Beautiful place.

Sugar Was Linked to Heart Disease 50 Years Ago, but the Industry Covered It Up

Sugar has detrimental effects on our health, and not just because sweet foods tend to have a lot of calories. Plenty of research has shown that the same calories of sugar versus other foods do very different things to our bodies. And new research shows how the sugar industry has tried to hide those findings.

Personal Update

Biathlon Training in Lenzerheide, Switzerland

I was happy to celebrate the publication of my 2nd book in January, as Run Faster: Unlock Your Speed in 8 Weeks launched on SEAL Grinder PT. A good friend of mine, Brad McLeod, owns this company, and I love how he has brought together a diverse team of coaches to share their speciality with the community he has built over the years.

January brought more cold water lake swims, which offered the confidence that swimming in 5C/40F water is possible! I also finally got a chance to try out the sport of Biathlon–huge respect to the athletes in this sport!

Lastly, I’m now in post-production from my 3rd book, Hill Running: Survive & Thrive. We’re looking at mid-May for a launch party in Zurich, to coincide with a release on Amazon. Until then, lots of swim and ruck training in preparation for the Epic Charity Challenge in Normandy in June!

By the way, if you’re in Zurich and enjoy yoga, come see me at Yogaholics United, where I teach regularly.

Wishing you a great start to the month!
