Same Route. Same Distance. Stronger Runner.
Another 10K round this morning. To stay consistent with training, you need routine. One trick that works for me: having fixed running routes.I’ve got two versions of a 10K, one that’s 16K, and a couple of 20Ks in the rotation. When it’s time to go, there’s no overthinking — I just lace up and head…

Let’s Go Zero – Can Cutting Alcohol Boost My Performance?
It’s 346 days to go. And I’ve decided: no more alcohol until race day. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been almost alcohol-free — the occasional glass of wine or beer here and there, but nothing regular. Now, I’m going all in. Zero. Can I really stick with it? That’s the challenge — not…

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…

Real Life Triathlon: It’s All About Consistency
Here we go — week one.Packed day: dentist appointment, important meetings at work, and family arriving in the evening. No chance for a proper training session. Just no time. So I swapped today’s session with tomorrow’s — it’s a bit shorter and easier to fit in. And honestly? I don’t care anymore. This isn’t a…
