FADS FADE FAST

FADS FADE FAST

SO MANY FADS COME AND GO.  It's not easy to distinguish between the good and the bad.  I have a few rules of thumb to help me...

... know what is legit.

Here are my top 2 rules:

1. When it comes to food, you know it's a fad when you see ridiculous claims on food that is complete trash.

For example, I've see Red Vines packaging printed with these gems over the years...

  • Fat Free
  • Gluten Free

... do those ring a bell?

Or these poisons proudly on the Keto train:

  • Fried chicken wings
  • Pork rinds
  • Pizza

2. Good advice endures.

For example, long slow distance is key going fast.

  • Eddie Merckx calls it piles of miles
  • Phil Mafetone preaches Zone 2
  • Joe Friel base training first

In other words, if it's been around a long time and the marketers don't have their fangs clamped down ready to suck your hard earned cash...

... you're probably in good shape.

Does that mean there's nothing new?

Not at all.  
Study the literature.
Absorb the podcasts.

Just take it with a grain of sea salt.
