Where did that number come from? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m going to switch things up a bit and write about something I’m sure many people think about when they watch a video in any platform. Let me be specific, last weekend, we organized my youngest daughter’s b-day party and I started talking to another dad, he wants to get more exercise done, get more in shape, but he told he sees so much stuff out there that he doesn’t know what to believe anymore! I’m sure everybody has heard this from someone, and he told me everybody claims to be the number on
The week fell apart…now what? (opens the original)

Let’s rewind to April 2026, spring coming up, coming out of a long winter, which means some new viruses flying around as well. I was preparing for the Mississauga marathon after 4 years of my first DNF and a horrible experience. I had a big goal in mind, not only to finish and go past the kilometer where everything went to shit the previous event, but I also wanted to run my best one ever!Early April, like 3 weeks before the event, those tendons flaring up, especially the right one, luckily it h

That’s what my paid tier is growing to become and all the philosophy around my coaching. <a class=
Where the lifting actually goes in an endurance week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 12 weeks before my first Ironman back in 2025, my strength volume went from 83 sets in a week down to 36.I didn’t decide that. I never sat down and thought, you know what, let me cut my lifting by more than half right before an Ironman 70.3.The schedule and life itself made that choice for me back then. The long rides got longer, even though I commute to work, going to the pool takes up time as I wrote about in my previous post, and…finally, the gym work got pushed into whatever gaps were
