Build Your Daily Operating System for Energy, Recovery and Wellbeing

In the world of Personal Development, Health and Wellbeing there are a myriad of books devoted to encouraging the person suffering from burnout and exhaustion how to restructure their life and lifestyle to cope better.

Jessica Spendlove author of For The Long Run has spent the past fifteen years working with a wide and diverse range of people, from elite athletes to the Australian Defence Force and industry leaders encouraging them to embrace wellness as an everyday component of their lives in order to remain at their optimum.

She looks at five aspects she considers essential to being able to remain at the top with good health, and a sharpness that can only be attained by taking care of your body; nutrition, exercise, stress and recovery, sleep and connection, all of which she asks you to honestly review.

As you travel through For The Long Run you are encouraged to take control of you; to upgrade, to make positive changes and learn the importance of creating a daily, sustainable routine for good health and wellbeing for the rest of your days.

Talking from a learned and knowledgeable background Spendlove discusses the many aspects of what are considered as must-do’s to be healthy and remain in peak condition. In many ways she views the body as an elite piece of machinery that needs to be supported in the best possible manner to work efficiently and effectively and sets out the rules, if you like, to achieve your desired goals.

Spendlove does not encourage overnight change, she advokes for slow and steady change, one small thing at a time, thereby allowing both your body and mind to assimilate the changes.  Therefore, should you are looking for an answer to perpetual exhaustion and are prepared to change your lifestyle one small step at a time, For The Long Run, could hold the answer to achieving a sustainable level of good health now and far into the future.
