My Snatches are still ugly AF. 🏋️‍♂️

Myth: If your lift isn’t picture-perfect, you aren’t making progress.

The reality? High-level technique isn’t forged in flawless sets—it’s built directly inside the awkward, frustrating, ugly reps where you check your ego at the door.

Real progress means:
1️⃣ Leaning on a coach’s eyes instead of guessing your own mechanics.
2️⃣ Asking the uncomfortable questions and actively seeking guidance.
3️⃣ Being relentlessly patient with the timeline and doing the unglamorous work.

Nobody masters the sn**ch overnight. If you want sustainable breakthroughs, stop hiding the mess and embrace the process.

The Grand Canyon doesn’t just challenge your legs—it completely resets your perspective. 🏜️✨

Taking on South Kaibab and Bright Angel delivered 5 absolute “WOW” moments that left us speechless:

1️⃣ The Views, Sunrises & Sunsets: Photos never do it justice. Watching morning light set the canyon walls ablaze is an image burned in memory forever.
2️⃣ The Sheer Drops: Navigating trail edges where you are literally inches away from a sheer drop-off demands 100% presence on every step.
3️⃣ The River’s Force: Hitting the canyon bottom and seeing the raw, relentless power of the Colorado River cutting through solid rock. At sunrise, no less.
4️⃣ The Rescue Helicopters: Watching choppers echo through the canyon walls—a stark, humbling reminder of the stakes out here. They average 3-4 rescues a day.
5️⃣ The Mules: Crossing paths with the legendary pack mule trains—calm, confident, and perfectly sure-footed on unforgiving terrain.

Think you can just run the Grand Canyon if you have the engine? Think again. 🏜️👟

Hiking down South Kaibab and climbing out on Bright Angel completely wrecked three major assumptions we had going in:

1️⃣ The Technicality: We expected runnable paths. The reality? Relentless wood-plank water bars, uneven drop-offs, and boulders meant way more tactical power-hiking and technical footwork than actual running.

2️⃣ Down vs. Up Pacing: We assumed climbing back out would be at least 50% slower than going down. But the descent forces heavy quad braking to protect the joints, making our descent and ascent paces almost identical.

3️⃣ The Rest Stops: We planned on powering through, but the dry canyon air, vertical gain, and heat forced way more deliberate fueling, breathing, and water breaks than our spreadsheet anticipated.

The canyon always dictates the terms—check your ego and adapt your plan.

14-mile long run test in the books with the new green Gymshark running half tights. 🟢🏃‍♂️

Finding the right gear for long-distance training usually comes with compromise, but these delivered across the board:
• 7 Pockets Total: 3 on each side (2 small for nutrition, 1 large drop-in that locks down a phone bounce-free) plus a secure zippered pocket across the back for keys, cash, and ID.
• Fit & Feel: Extremely soft fabric with balanced compression—supportive without pinching, giving a true second-skin feel.
• Inner Liner Support: Keeps everything locked down and in place without shifting or riding up (fixing the #1 issue I’ve had with almost every compression short I’ve owned).
Not a paid endorsement—just honest feedback from the road. These are officially locked in for my Marine Corps Marathon build. (Though , feel free to send more colors my way! 😉)

Dialing in your gear is just one part of executing on race day. Stop guessing your prep and connect with me as a coach to train smarter, race stronger, and live fuller.

You are never too old, too experienced, or too advanced to be coached. 🛑🧠

In this session, I missed my power clean PR attempt. Instead of letting ego take over, getting frustrated, or trying to muscle through with bad mechanics, I took a step back and listened.

My coach gave me immediate feedback on my pull and timing. I reset, adjusted the ex*****on, and hit the PR.

True growth belongs to anyone who knows they can be stronger, faster, and better—no matter where they are in their athletic journey. Drop the ego, trust another set of eyes, and stay coachable.

Plot Twist: An update on our Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim (R2R2R) project. 🏜️🛑

After months of building and dialing in time-on-feet, the unfortunate reality is that our R2R2R project is off the table for now.

In endurance sports—and in life—things don’t always go according to script. But true athletic resilience isn’t about forcing a bad situation; it’s about having the clarity to pivot, adapt the system, and redirect that engine toward a new goal.

The fitness is banked. The discipline doesn’t disappear. Now, we look for what’s next, like possibly a different national park to explore. And then return to do R2R2R properly.

They only see the finish line. 🏁

They don’t see the 5:00 AM alarms, the focused baseline testing, the heavy durability lifting, or the disciplined pacing when nobody is watching.

True speed and resilience aren’t accidental. When you stop guessing and build a structured engine that supports your life, the breakthroughs take care of themselves.

Build the base. Own the ex*****on. Be the mighty lion against the wild beasts.

Can an algorithm generate a generic Ironman schedule? Sure. But is it worth risking months of relentless effort, risking overuse injuries, and missing out on crucial real-time guidance just to see if a prompt can get you through 140.6 miles? 

AI is a solid tool in life, but it can’t evaluate your daily fatigue, fix your movement mechanics, or adapt when your schedule goes sideways. You don’t just want to survive the course—you want to hit that finish line healthy and with a big ass smile on your face.

Welcome to the team. Let’s get to work.

Podium finishes are great, but community is unbeatable.
🥉🔥

Last weekend at the 40th Annual Loggerhead Triathlon, placing 3rd in my age group took a backseat to something much bigger: sharing the course with friends who showed up and dominated their goals.

A huge thank you and congratulations to the race staff and volunteers on 40 years of hosting this legendary event—you made race day seamless! And big gratitude to for keeping me comfortable while I race uncomfortably. 🧴⚡

The highlight was witnessing the breakthrough moments:
• Kevin crossing the line of his first-ever triathlon after not even being a runner a year ago (MCM marathon next!).
• Sam going absolute beast mode for a 3rd-place podium after years away.
• Seth building massive momentum and getting dialed in for his first 70.3.
• Esteban lining up with me for our 3rd consecutive year.

Watching each of these guys connect, flourish, and accomplish things they’ve never done before—that is without a doubt my “why.” That is the real win as a coach.
