Recovery Researcher · HYROX Athlete
Every protocol on this site has been tested personally for a minimum of three to four weeks, across at least one full training microcycle, with Garmin data tracked before, during, and after. I am a former field hockey player now training and competing in HYROX at 7-9 sessions per week.
I am not a physiologist or a coach. I am an athlete with access to data, a library card, and a low tolerance for wellness marketing. The edge here is simple: I tested it on my body, I tracked the numbers, and I tell you exactly what happened, including when it did not work.
