UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! 28 weeks from when I first began my attempt to train for an Ironman in 1 year, I’ve discovered, or rather confirmed, that just because you take on a big challenge full of commitment & obstacles, doesn’t mean the world slows […]
UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! It’s been a little while since my last post, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been training. The last 8-9 weeks have been busy ones. Here’s a short list of what’s happened: My wife & I found a cute little fixer-upper […]
Simple, easy, and beyond tasty. This spicy chipotle shrimp bowl recipe is perfect for heat loving seafood fans who are crunched for time. Easily done in under an hour (and potentially done in under 30 minutes if you’re efficient :), this is another easy recipe to add to the weekly rotation. My wife and I […]
UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! I know what you’re thinking… 11 weeks? What happened to a post after 10 weeks?! There was such a nice pattern! Yeah well, it’s been a wild few weeks, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been training. There will always be […]
UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! After my stint with injuries in my first few weeks of training, I’m happy to announce that I finally get to complain about the pain and suffering soreness associated with a full 2 week training schedule. In the last 2 weeks, I […]
1,440 minutes. Every single day you get to choose how to spend 1,440 minutes. Most of us spend about a 3rd of them sleeping, a 3rd at work, and in some combination, for the remaining 3rd we work out, eat, spend time with our families, do chores, and whatever else it is we decide to […]
UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! A few weeks ago I wrote a post about some setbacks and injuries during my Ironman training. Today, I’m happy to report we’re making progress. I haven’t broken any land speed records or set any PR’s in the last two weeks, […]
Every single person reading this (presumably) has heard someone in their life say “give it 110%!” Somehow ignorantly insinuating that doing so, will yield 10% (or more?) results than if you gave it everything you had. There is, however, a fundamental problem with “giving 110%”. No, this post won’t be filled with quotes like “don’t […]
UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! I was hoping today’s post would be a triumphant one. Relishing on a recently completed 7 or 8 mile run, basking in how seamless the transition from CrossFit athlete to Ironman triathlete has been. But alas, this is a different type […]
UPDATE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed is now available! I’m used to volume, but not quite like this (and I’ve barely even begun…). In the last 2 weeks, I’ve run 27.7 miles, Biked for 4+ hours at over 100 RPM, and swam nearly 10,000 meters. This is the most of […]
![[full post in bio] I gotta say I’m pretty happy with my #crossfitopen finish this year.
