    We have a wood fired outside bath. We have far more trees than money. Anyway, I dissolve a kg or two of MgCl (dairy cattle supplement, less than fifty cents a kg) in the bath and soak under the stars at 40 degrees for a half an hour or so. That’s our way of getting a drugged sleep and keep ourselves topped up with magnesium.

    Maybe I should build a cold water dip tank next to it.

    After studying primal endurance I was committed. My first 4 weeks saw improvements almost daily. Weeks 5-6 I plateaued and weeks 7-10 I regressed and ended even slower than my first day! I don’t think I can go any slower without giving up on running because I am literally walking at least 1/3 of the time. Help!
