Awesome, always into chatting with people who enjoy running. I started late in life as well. I was actually tripping mushrooms with a buddy and came across David Goggins. We signed up for a Spartan Beast (13MI 25+ obstacle) I had never ran over a mile in my life at the time and only did so when mandated in middle school and high school so < 10 miles ran lifetime. We trained in like 90 days and both finished. This was 5 or 6 years ago, fun times. Been running off and on ever since.

btw, how do you study PLO? I play nl500 but have been playing a bit of 100pl for fun and want to get good at it.
Hey, thanks for the advice. My problem is if I allow the 20% unhealthy, I go off the hinges and am smashing all unhealthy in no time. Nothing has ever really worked for me personally except ketogenic and intermittent fasting. Which is basically meat, eggs, veggies as you mentioned.
I have been in great shape in the past, pre covid I was pretty ripped. Girlfriend and I just really let ourselves go during covid and never got the motivation to fully commit to dieting again. I have maintained exercise and running. I'm still not in terrible shape compared to USA population, I'd say I'm in top 25% of my age. Have decent muscle, just a 20lb or so spare tire to go with it. I've been pretty consistent this past month doing keto. Just did my first 48 hour fast last weekend and down 10lbs since last post. Have a race coming up in 2 weeks so I hope I am down 5 more.
Nice, welcome to the great game. Once you cross over it's hard to go back. As far as study goes, I'm always tweaking my routine. Currently I just review my hands, and if I find trouble spots I drill them in the PLO MasterMind trainer. I have a study group to discuss HH as well, but not sure how many of them are as driven as I am. I have one dedicated friend where we study usually 2 times a week as a duo. I usually try to hit an hour minimum daily study solo, even if it's just drilling preflop.
Results wise, I am doing decent since last update. I will post graph for July + August at end of the month as volume is somewhat low. I have 2 vacations during this time and a race. End of August to Thanksgiving I will be grinding like a maniac to be firing shots at 5/10 by end of year. Found some live 4card PLO action in Pennsylvania which isn't too far so may check them out as well. They also have Pokerstars there which would be dope to checkout.
What a life to be free and play a card game for a living. Blessed.
