UNDERPRESSURE for athletes

If your systolic is creeping up despite training 8+ hours a week, there is a name for what's happening — and a protocol that doesn't tell you to stop.

TODO (founder): this page is the athlete-vertical hub. Write the long-form copy here — speak directly to the cyclist/runner/triathlete with elevated systolic. The persona-tailored voice ("you've been told to lose weight and cut salt and you find it insulting") is what makes this page convert.

This page is for the cyclist with a 138/88 morning reading and a 250-watt FTP. The marathoner whose resting heart rate is 42 and whose systolic is 135. The triathlete whose Withings cuff has started showing yellow numbers more often than green.

The mainstream cardiovascular advice for elevated blood pressure assumes you don't exercise. It assumes weight loss is on the table. It assumes you spend most of your week not training hard.

You're not that population. Your protocol is different.
