The Cost of Fitness
Short | 2 months ago
For a long time, I thought easy training was a waste of time. Two hours easy on the bike? Too long to be recovery and too short to be productive. I wanted every workout to feel like it was moving the needle. The problem is, I spent years trying to reinvent ...

When Winning Becomes Your Why
Video | 3 months ago
When I first got into triathlon, my why was simple: I wanted to run as far away from my old life as possible. Over time that evolved. Then it became about winning. Becoming the best in the world. Chasing world titles. The problem is that winning isn’t fully...

Going Back to My Old Coach
Video | 4 months ago
After Ironman Texas I had to take a hard look at what I’m doing. A lot of what went wrong there wasn’t complicated. It was durability. It was preparation. And honestly, some of it was me trying to do everything myself when I shouldn’t have been. So I reache...

Thoughts After IRONMAN Texas
Review | 5 months ago
IRONMAN Texas was rough. I came into this race thinking I was in decent bike shape, and I found out pretty quickly that I wasn’t in as good of Ironman shape as I thought. Threshold-wise, I’m in a good place. But durability is still the limiter. That’s why w...

Consistency is King
Video | 5 months ago
30km long run today. Long slow distance is still a necessary piece of building real Ironman fitness. You don’t build confidence in one workout, and you don’t build it in one week either. It comes from months of consistency. Right now I’m about three months ...

My Swim Benchmark Session
Guide | 6 months ago
Swim benchmark day. Nothing fancy here—just a repeatable session that helps me understand where my swim fitness is right now. One swim won’t win a race. Just like one workout won’t win a race. What matters is stacking consistent training over weeks and mont...

One Workout Won’t Win a Race || 3×5K Benchmark
Video | 6 months ago
Three by 5K at moderate intensity. Not a max effort. Not a hero session. Just something I should be able to repeat next week. One workout won’t win a race. Thirty or forty strung together in close proximity might. This run benchmark is about consistency — n...
