Wine? No Thanks — I’m Training for an Ironman.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve cut out alcohol. I’ve had the occasional glass of wine or a beer — but the regular habit is gone. I used to drink several bottles of wine every week. Now? Almost none. Why?Because I wanted to feel better. Train better. Sleep better. I’m preparing for an Ironman…

Rest Day Run
Rest days are when you get stronger. At least, that’s what they say. Normally, Monday is my rest day. But not today. Yesterday, I had a family gathering — and family comes first. So, my long run was pushed to this morning. I didn’t feel like it at first, but it turned out fine. Strange…

Where to Find Time for Ironman Training: Turning Your Travel Time into Workout Time
I ran to the office for the first time in a while. Now it’s 08:55, and I’m sitting at my desk with already 12,000 steps logged for today. It feels really good. It’s not the distance that keeps me from doing it more often — it’s the logistics. You need a change of clothes at…

Is 180 Steps Per Minute the Perfect Running Cadence for Ironman?
I’d love to add swimming this week, but my family is visiting — full house, little time. I’d also like to add cycling. In theory, it’s easy: just commute to work by bike. But it’s been raining non-stop, which means I’d need to carry not only a change of clothes for the office but also…

Monday: Ironman Training in the Rain
It’s Monday morning. It’s raining like hell. I went to sleep too late — and it’s sleep when you get stronger, when you recover. But no excuses. Lace up and run in the rain. I talk a lot about having a plan, but truth is, right now I’m only training one discipline. I’m on day…

A Training Plan Can Push You Further Than You Think
Where It Started I began serious training in 2014 with Jack Daniels’ Running Formula.It was the first time I saw how much a structured plan could change everything. Running became more than just logging kilometers — it became about progress.From that point on, I rarely ran without a plan. The challenge? Daniels’ plans are built mainly…
