Chiming in very quickly here....Dr. Evilla - I am in P1 and told my coach from the get-go that I was not willing to sacrifice my workout routines, which I have finally made a habit, and that if it meant IP was not for me, I would understand. So, she put me on the Alternative plan on the days I work out which I actually LOVE.
I played derby from 2005-2009 and I'm certain that if I was on the Alternative Plan and 100% compliant (all veggies, oils, supplements and Alternative "treats" on the days I had practice), it would be compatible. Too, all derby practices are different, at least in my league. Sometimes they would be endurance for an hour, then scrimmage for an hour. Or all drills - falling drills, blocking drills, sprint drills. All over the place. The workouts I do now (Orangetheory Fitness), I would say are comparable to derby work outs - (I burn about 600+ calories per my heart rate monitor) I might run about three miles on the tread mill in the first half hour, then a mix of rower, weights, floor work for another half hour, all while doing the P1 Alternative Plan on the days I work out. If I don't work out on a day, then I am on straight P1 that day. I have been satisfied with my progress. Any slow weeks that I've had have been due to my own non-compliant decisions (vacations, company, travel, boozy brunches).
Okay, that was not a "real quick" chime in (story of my life). But all that to say, I feel that Alt P1 should be compatible with derby life!
