A can of Coke can actually help you recover faster after a long workout.

Sounds crazy, but here’s why it works.

After long runs or rides, your glycogen stores are depleted and your body is craving quick carbohydrates.

Coke is basically sugar in liquid form with nothing slowing it down.

That means it hits your bloodstream fast.

• Glucose helps refill muscle glycogen
• Fructose helps refill liver glycogen

So your energy starts coming back quickly.

Now I’m not saying soda should be part of your daily nutrition.

But in this specific situation after a long, depleting workout it can work surprisingly well.

What I’ll do:
Drink a Coke → then follow it up with a real meal with carbs + protein.

⬇️ Curious…

Would you try this after a long workout?

Comment YES or NO.

You are not supposed to do it alone.

Back when I worked a corporate job as a Creative Manager, I helped grow a start-up into a multi-million dollar company.

I’d love to tell you I did it all myself… but that’s not true.

My strength wasn’t doing everything. My strength was building the right team and keeping the team focused. I needed experts in design, photography, lighting, styling, and more.

We won because we weren’t trying to be great at everything. We built a team.

Then I had a health scare.

At the time, I was a busy professional prioritizing work over health. And I realized something quickly:

If I wanted to get healthy again, I needed to treat my health like I treated business.

I needed a team.

Not a magic pill. Not a quick fix. Not a “hope this works” plan.

A team… and a long-game mindset.

Funny enough, that’s part of what led me to fall in love with endurance sports. The long game. The life game.

Here’s what I’ve noticed over the years:

The people who build a team around their health and endurance goals are often the same people who succeed in business.

They understand they can’t do it all alone.

They build teams around family, business, health and fitness goals.

Ready to start building your team and stop struggling alone? DM me COACH and we can discuss how I can help.

Speed workouts do more than build fitness.

They build mental grit.

I was reminded of that during a workout where I did 6 × 5 minutes at Zone 4.

Physically, it was tough.
But mentally… even tougher.

Because when the effort rises and breathing gets hard, your mind starts asking questions:

• Can I hold this pace?
• Should I slow down?
• How many intervals are left?

That’s the real training.

Workouts like this aren’t just about speed.

They train your ability to:
• stay present in discomfort
• keep moving when things feel hard
• push through when your mind wants to quit

That skill carries into racing… and honestly into life.

Every hard workout is a chance to build resilience.

If you want help building smarter training, strength, and mindset, DM me COACH.

Most endurance athletes try to figure it out alone.

That usually leads to plateaus, injuries, or burnout.

Coaching gives you structure, accountability, and a plan that actually fits your life.

I have one coaching spot opening April 1.

If you're serious about improving your endurance and racing with confidence this season…

DM me “COACH.”

Motivation and grit going into the weekend.

Most endurance athletes overcomplicate recovery.

They focus on massage guns, compression boots, ice baths, and recovery gadgets.

But if your nutrition is off, hydration is low, and sleep is poor, those things won’t make much difference.

If you want better recovery as an endurance athlete, focus on The Big 3:

• Nutrition
• Hydration
• Sleep

Recovery is what allows training to actually work.

You stress the body → it recovers → it adapts → you get stronger.

Before chasing advanced recovery tools, master the basics first.

⬇️ Quick question for endurance athletes:

Which one do you struggle with most?

Nutrition
Hydration
or Sleep?

These are 3 of my go to pre workout meals before long runs, bike rides or swims.

All three are:

👉 Fast sources of energy (carbs)
👉 Provide a steady release of energy, preventing a sudden drop in blood sugar.
👉 Help reduce muscle breakdown during exercise.
👉 Easy on the stomach for most people.

Give one a try before you next long endurance workout and let me know how it worked for you.

Ever had a shorter run feel harder than a longer run?

That happened to me this week.

My 11-mile run felt worse than my 13-mile run… and the difference wasn’t fitness.

It was fueling.

On the bad run, I didn’t prepare well enough and started feeling low energy halfway through.

On the better run I
• ate a solid pre-run meal
• gave myself time to digest
• took in calories during the run

Huge difference.

A lot of endurance athletes blame fitness when the real issue is under-fueling.

Don’t just train for the workout…
fuel for the workout.

⬇️ Question for you:

Have you ever had a shorter run feel harder than a long run?

Last July, Chris crossed the finish line at Ironman 70.3 Oregon and crushed his goal.

At 58 years old, it had been over 25 years since he had run.

A friend suggested he reach out to me, and we built a plan that focused on smart endurance training, strength work, and staying healthy.

The result?

Chris finished in 5:14, beating his goal by 16 minutes and completing his first 70.3 stronger and more confident than he expected. We are still working together.

Now here’s the reminder…

Ironman 70.3 Oregon is only 18 weeks away.

If you're signed up and haven't started training yet, now is the time.

The athletes who race well in July start building their foundation right now.

If you want a smart plan that fits your life, builds strength, and gets you to race day confident…

Send me a DM. I have a few coaching spots open.

Let’s get to work.
