The Program.
Body as primary asset. Routines are measured, not explained. What sits here is what I actually do.

One standard day.
Every day is the same; only the 13:30 slot changes. Priorities in order: mental performance, long-term brain health, physical performance, looks.
Four blocks, one year.
One fixed slot, 13:30–15:00. Per week: two hard endurance sessions, three strength sessions, one technique/Z2 session, Sunday off. Hard sessions never on consecutive days and only with HRV in band. Every 4th week is a deload, week 12 of each block is a test week. Year 1: 12 Oct 2026 – 26 Sep 2027.
Block 1 — VO2max
Weeks 1–12 · 12 Oct 2026 – 3 Jan 2027 · 2× HIIT · 3× strength · ≈ 8 h
Block 2 — Strength / hypertrophy
Weeks 13–24 · 4 Jan – 28 Mar 2027 · 4× strength · 1× HIIT · ≈ 7 h
Block 3 — Sprint
Weeks 25–36 · 29 Mar – 20 Jun 2027 · 2× sprint · 2× strength · ≈ 7 h
Block 4 — 1 km / maintenance
Weeks 37–48 · 21 Jun – 12 Sep 2027 · run HIIT · long Z2 · strength A/B · ≈ 7.5 h
Recovery is the training.
Sleep is not the end of training — it is the training. Load is steered by HRV, not by feel.

Four fixed meals.
Same structure every day. Only three things change: the protein in M3 by weekday, the starch amount by day type, and lentils instead of rice on Mon/Wed/Fri.
Window
07:45 – 18:15 · 4 meals
- Strength day ≈ 2,800 kcal · 175–180 g protein (2.3 g/kg) · 320–330 g carbs · 95–100 g fat · 50–57 g fibre
- M1 07:45 egg-oat bowl — 3 eggs, oats, wheat germ, skyr, blueberries, kiwi, walnuts
- M2 11:00 pre-training shake — whey, kefir, banana, oats, cocoa, chia
- M3 15:30 protein bowl — salmon, sardines, chicken or beef by weekday; basmati, broccoli + sprouts, mushrooms, sauerkraut, olive oil
- M4 17:45 quark-potato anchor — skyr, gouda, potatoes, kale, carrot, pumpkin seeds
- Day type only changes the starch: cardio ≈ 3,350 kcal, rest day ≈ 2,400 kcal
- Water ≈ 2.2 l/day in fixed slots + training bottle sized to measured sweat rate
- No improvisation — only defined variants (compact, dairy-free, travel)
