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.

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 […]
NOW AVAILABLE: The full 1 year Ironman training plan that I followed! As well as the routine I used every day to prevent running injuries! I’ve made a lot of silly decisions at various different parts of my life. This one though, might just take the cake. I’ve decided committed to completing a full Ironman that […]
Throughout my working career, I’ve always considered a mental health break from work to be “the weekend”. Work really hard for 5 days, rest, relax and recharge for 2. Rinse and repeat. Even when considering typical vacations (weekends at the beach, a week abroad, etc.), I tended to view those as more “opportunities for new […]
After having just completed a two week honeymoon in Greece, it’s safe to say that my wife & I are addicted Greek food and found a dire need for a true, traditional Greek salad recipe (also known as Horiatiki salad). We ate these things everywhere. We started our trip in Athens (where we had one […]
If made any other way, cooking salmon without smelling up the house can be nearly impossible. It’s always either overcooked, raw, the house smells like fish for 3 days, nothing ever seems to go right. The craziest part? You watch the food network and people talk about how their perfectly cooked crispy salmon is the […]
