Day 1 | The 98 Standard

Today marks day one of the 98 Standard, and the start of a new training block. Week one isn't about doing more, it's about stacking one habit that sticks.

Today is day one of the 98 Standard.

Four 98 sessions a week. Two litres of water a day. A nutrition habit stacked in. Five minutes of guided breathwork or mindfulness. Nothing here is dramatic. That's the point.

Week one is protein, stacked one habit at a time.

The nutrition focus for weeks 1 to 3 is protein in every main meal. A habit to repeat until it doesn't require thought. The rest builds later, three weeks at a time, each one stacked on top of what's already routine.

Each member who opts into the Standard is given a personal tracker. It's there to help, a simple way to mark off the session and the habit day by day, so the routine builds itself rather than relying on memory or motivation.

Breathwork starts this week too.

Led by Rory Warnock, session one is live in the Knowlegde Base on the 98 Training app. Functional breathing foundations, 15 to 20 minutes with a five minute guided practice built in. Three more sessions follow across the 98 days.

Winter is when routine usually slips first.

Not all at once. One skipped session, one cold morning, one week that got away. The 98 Standard exists so showing up isn't a decision you make every day. It's already decided.

98 days. Week one starts now.

Onwards and upwards.
