Special Deal on Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint (act before 12PST 3/18)

If you're interested in Mark Sisson's new book, the Primal Blueprint, there's a pretty good deal going on right now, as he tries to push the book up to #1 on Amazon (#2 right now).  See the details here .  Must buy the book and email him the receipt before 12pm PST today (Thursday, 3/18).

Basically, buy the book, get a bunch of extra stuff free.  Only catch is the deal isn't valid on the Kindle edition.

If you're not familiar with Mark's thoughts, they're worth reading.

  • Hi Mike, what the basis to his methods? First times I've heard of this guy, maybe due to being in UK. Thanks, dave
  • David,

    the short, short version is that Mark is a former Ironman / Marathon pro 20 years ago, who has built the company behind Damage Master Formula (you might have seen ads in a tri mag).

    He writes a blog on thoughts of overall health.  Basic premises are

    -endurance sports are not particularly healthy.  cause a lot of damage.  if you want to do them, you have to recognize the toll you're putting on your body, and eat accordingly

    -healthy food = food your primal ancestors would have eaten (with certain corollaries, exceptions, etc).  Not unlike Paleo, but less absolute, more recognition that there's actually stuff out there we don't yet know.

    -overall healthy activity = walking a lot, occassionally running for your life (ie. a few short sprints from time to time), lifting weights, and eating well.

    If you're interested in learning more, take a look at Mark's Daily Apple.  Good site.

    Mike

  • Thanks Mike & I'll check out his site again - at first glance it seemd all geared towards selling the book rather than explaining the method (nothing wrong with that) behind it all.
    Cheers for the link.
