Happy Birthday! Chris, I'm interested in your fueling on a morning like yours with both running and Crossfit in short succession. I generally don't eat before 5:45 crossfit or maybe a little but curious your approach when doing multiple workouts.

One scoop of whey in my cold brew coffee at 3:30 AM. Then run on that. Pouch of tart cherry juice for mid-run. After run, 5 fried eggs and a sixth raw in a Fairlife/whey/ice/cinnamon/vanilla/almond shake blended up in the Vitamix. Then CrossFit. Then after I get home a monster mash of ground meat (most recently the bison blended with its organs), onion, garlic, bacon, and peppers. That lasts me until a light dinner at 5 PM.

Congrats on your 46th, here's to many many more. Really enjoyed the summary, some profundity there.

Do you have a recommend for trail running shoes?

Thanks

Well happy "think like an alpha predator" birthday!

Orcas only eat the livers of the great white sharks they kill.

And a Kevin Costner fan fave (for me anyways), buffalo heart.

Trying to introduce organs. Big follower of Dr Saladino but there’s definitely a psychological hurdle.

Beef heart and liver for lunch today. Not bad at all. Long-suffering wife refused to try even a bite so she could say she tried it. Her loss.
