Darryl Edwards is back in part 2 of our conversation about PrimalPlay.
Having laid the groundwork in Part 1 (Why working out isn’t working out that well) Darryl and I chat about his own daily habits. If you listened to part 1 you might have heard Darryl speak about how a health scare in his 30’s caused him to take a close look at how he was living his life, so we talk about:
- Darryl’s approach to sleep including sleep hygiene and sleep tracking
- Protein, hydration, and NO caffeine!
- HIT, HIRT, and PHA training
- Using your natural environment as a gym
- Sprint training and scaring joggers in the park - seriously!
- 3 top tips on how to include PrimalPlay into your own workout schedule
