Training
Weekly training load and structure adapt based on recovery, fatigue, and long-term progression, with a strong emphasis on consistency, durability, and injury prevention. I track all sessions in Intervals.icu and plan and review in Notion.
A typical training week includes:
Cycling: 2-3 sessions
• Mostly Zone 2 aerobic rides
• 1-2 controlled quality sessions (HIIT: Sweet Spot / Threshold)
Running: 1-2 sessions
• Primarily easy aerobic running (Zone 2), with volume adjusted for durability
Swimming: 2-3 sessions
Strength training: 2 sessions
Mobility & stability: 1 dedicated session (plus short daily work as needed)
Training follows an endurance-focused framework, prioritizing aerobic base, metabolic health, and sustainable long-term progression.

Nutrition
is structured to support endurance training, recovery, and long-term metabolic health.
Protein-focused: High protein intake to support recovery and lean mass, primarily from whole foods, with protein powder used selectively when needed
Carbohydrate periodization: Carbohydrate intake increases around demanding training sessions to support performance and recovery, while remaining lower on easy or recovery days
Whole-food based: Emphasis on minimally processed foods and nutrient density
Training-fueled approach: Adequate fueling during and after sessions to support consistency and reduce injury and illness risk
