Not exactly diet & nutrition, but I feel its just as important, and honestly didn't know what other sub-forum to post under.
I'm moving about every day. Whether its a run, ruck march or just a brisk walk for recovery, I'm doing something. I had two "zero" days so far this month due to rain, and I simply need a rest day. I do work a physical job in a warehouse, although I do have a desk and have "desk work" that needs to be done throughout the day.
I start work early, the alarm goes off at 4am and I'm up and about shortly thereafter. I am a few weeks into my program and I need 8 hours of sleep, day in, day out. Even on the weekends I may manage to sleep in an extra hour, but my biological clock has me awake before sunrise which is around 6:30am right now, I think.
My question is, will I become more efficient with my sleep as I get into better shape? Or will I always need eight hours every night? I read that some pro-athletes are pushing ten hours/night, but that's their career.
I plan to keep up the rucks into the winter and hopefully more frequently, as I am only doing one per week thus far. Hope to up that to three max.
