Welcome to my Fitness Blog – your guide to crafting an adventure-ready, beach body.

Here, we explore the art and science of building muscle, training for races, optimizing health, and mastering natural movement.  You’ll find tips, strategies and insights, all grounded in the latest scientific research and my own real-life experiences.  

I started just like many of you – a regular family man, no athletic background, facing the typical challenges of life. But in my 30s, I transformed: from overweight to lean, fit, and muscular. And the journey didn’t stop there – now in my 40s, I’ve conquered 2 Ironman 140.6s and a Spartan Ultra 50k among other challenges.

Join me on this journey to not just sculpt a beach body, but to forge a physique that's ready for life's greatest adventures. Let’s embark on this transformative path together.
