I dont even feel myself as I am running these days. My mind goes into some state that lets the time pass by. That’s all that I need.
I am in a simulation. And this is a divine journey
I ran 20 miles last week. Nice.
I have so much to do before the big day. Let’s go bro.
I am trying to do my best for this marathon prep. I didnt expect it to be too intense. And allocating time for things. Also massive changes at my work.
But no mind. We will go forward:
That’s a 20 mile run. f

Resting studies showed decreased mitochondrial respiration including decreases in complex I (-36%) and II (-28%) as well as total electron system capacity (-34%) and electron system capacity coupled to ATP production via ATP synthase (-30%). Regarding muscle carbohydrate metabolism, SED individuals showed a decrease in mitochondrial pyruvate oxidation (-37%) as well as reduced expression (-49%) of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC). Regarding fatty acid metabolism, SED showed decreased activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1)(-51%) and CPT2 (-44%) as well as decreased mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (-35%). Metabolomics analysis also confirmed downregulation of carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Partial Least-Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) identified distinct metabolic phenotypes through intermediates of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation. Further, we found significant differences in cardiolipin (CL) species expression between SED and AC groups, which, due to the important role of CL in mitochondrial structure, function, biogenesis and bioenergetics, deserves further attention.
CONCLUSIONS
– Despite similar GLUT-4 concentrations, sedentary individuals show significant decreased pyruvate oxidation as well as expression of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC).
– During exercise studies, sedentary individuals show significantly decreased levels of fat oxidation and lactate clearance capacity which correlate with mitochondrial and bioenergetics parameters from resting muscle biopsies. Hence, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) accompanied by measuring blood lactate levels could be a practical manner to assess muscle mitochondrial function and bioenergetics in a non-invasive and ambulatory manner.
I have Flipped the Switch
It took me a long time to do it. But the switch has been flipped
I was in a horrible place in 2020, 2021, 2022. I had to flip the switch. I started this blog. And I have done it.
Now, my goal is to build my Rolex
Fuck buying a rolex. That is gucci rich.
The true rich is a JACKED body. Because it takes your personal time and effort.
You can make money via equity. Thats the goal. You make money from nothing. But your actual time is limited. So spend that time to build your ROLEX.
Being JACKED is the best thing a man can do for himself. A JACKED man can do things a normal dude cannot do. You will look good in ANY set of clothes. Clothes CANNOT hide your body.
Being JACKED will get you GOOD JOBS. It is how you will become a CEO. People RESPECT the men who are JACKED.
Become JACKED for OTHER PEOPLE, not for yourself. Fuck your own desires here for this aesthetic thing
Being JACKED is a FORCE MULTIPLIER
Rolexes are rare. Most people are not fit or jacked. Being fit is fucking rare. And for fat people, becoming JACKED is the BIGGEST INVESTMENT of time and energy you can make. So your body is literally your Rolex
You owe it to yourself to become JACKED in this life
A Rolex Dude is not thirsty. Don’t be a glutton. It is the most unsexy thing ever.
This is something I have been thinking about for a while. It is something I have learned about how I learn and adopt something. I think this is a crucial life skill and I want to document it. Maybe this works for other people. But it has worked for me.
There are many habits one may want to pick up: being more organized (this is a habit), going to the gym, running, etc. There are numerous apps out there to help you. There is also the old adage of “just be more disciplined”. Sure. But those things didnt work for me in particular. And through some trial and error, going back 15 years, I think I have figured some of these things out.
Building a habit is like getting on a train. When the habit is working fine, it feels natural and flawless. I don’t require a lot of cognitive overhead to keep that habit going. It is a flow state I guess.
I like to use the imagery of a wagon. Once you are on the wagon, things are going great. But there are many ways in which you fall off of the wagon. It is important to understand this whole dynamic.
Some critical questions are:
I am currently on the wagon. And I am liking it.
Lindy Effect: The longer you stay on the wagon, the more robust you are
What is the purpose of this disrespect? This is unbelievable. A mockery for what god has given us.
Stay the fuck away from this kind of thing. This is noise. Focus on healthy whole food diet. And stop with gluttony. You dont need it anymore.
Disgusting.
Fuck. The marathon is coming up. I do not feel ready at all. 76 days and counting. What the fuck have I gotten myself into.
I will kick myself if I don’t run this marathon on that particular day. I have a visual in my mind. A visual I constructed in December 2022.
I am going to cram for this exam, like I have done in the past before.

Think in terms of workout chunks. And do chunks once in a while
Schedule 5 day
3 x cardio
2 x strength (We will do full body)
The goal is to MAXIMIZE the protein and reduce the calories. The research backs this. I trust the research. I have seen the research work for me in other ways.
Remember the concept of market impact Food satisfaction impact model.
There are two tricks:
Do this over and over, and it’s done.
And sleep lol
