What is a now page? It’s the fine line between an about page, Twitter (X) updates, and a biography. The top line story, if I were to catch up with an old friend.

What I’m doing now
(Updated Feb 2026)
HEALTH & FITNESS
- I’m accepting that my 5k speed might be fading at 44yo—switching to 3 speed sessions + 70-80km weeks instead of 120km. It’s going well, I feel the best I’ve ever felt
- I did a yearly recap for 2025 – you can get the full thing here. But here’s the quick points below
- Ran 3:01 marathon after 7-year break—learned I need time to adapt, not just fitness
- Ran my 8th annual half marathon—didn’t PR but learned I can positive split (slow 10-15 sec/km then kick), proving every race teaches something even without a best time
- 2.5 strength days per week = stronger, more muscle, stayed lean (more isn’t better)
- Stay tuned and follow me on Strava for daily inspiration, motivation, and stoic lulz.
CREATING
- Finally sorted out my technology and got the right cameras (Drone + Go Ultra) to document my training while also teaching out in the field. Still tweaking the process, but it’s looking hopefuly to save time and also be quite creative/different/unique.
- Finally finished the email course, which is a condensed 7,000-word six-email lesson version of the book. I extracted and compressed six core ideas. Getting decent reception on it to test out the book ideas/concepts, etc.
- Finished the manuscript (first super rough draft) for my first book, “The 1% Better Runner”. Hopefully will publish and release this sometime in 2026. Here is a quick blurb.
- Finally, publishing a full content stack (audio, video, blog, newsletter, socials, etc.) twice per week. Looking to go 3 times per week in March 2026. Let’s see if I can get there. Consume it all, however you want, here.
- The newsletter has been consistently published weekly for the last five years and counting. I live this 1% better thing.
CONSUMING | READING
- No new books, really. Re-reading some marketing, sales, and advertising books as I shift into a new phase with my production company and even 1% Better Runner.
- Re-read Jack Daniel’s Running Formula to get VDot Certified (another certification on top of many). Amazing how much of what he does I implement into my own training and the runners that I coach.
- I went down a crazy rabbit hole of self-help books and finally did the Kindle whisper sync for voice. I don’t like reading physical books (yes, I’m weird), and having the audiobook version with the Kindle allows me to consume some serious knowledge and wisdom from great people.
- I’m reading on a “need to know” basis rather than “just in case.” I need to know that I’m reading something to fix my current problem. Just in case is reading a book because you might have the problem later or it’s super trendy right now. I’m overreading like that, and it’s a waste.
CONSUMING | WATCHING
- Not much as I’m focusing on research for content, which means I should get back to consuming things on video again for “fun”. But I’m behind so it’s hard. This “behind” feeling is quite chronic. Need to sort that out.
- Looking to write a fictional write a film/script and since I’ve never written fiction, I’m going to do “research” and watch some of my fav tv shows and movies but with an analytical writing eye.
- But… it was the holiday so I do watch some Christmas movies with my son, because… why not!
CONSUMING | LISTENING
- Tim Ferriss is still crushing things and his interviews are more heart felt “what he wants” vs what he thinks people want. Something I want to strive for with my content in the future.
- Jay Clouse – Creator Science video podcast and newsletter are full of so many tools and tactics for creators it’s not even funny. Love his delivery, transparent performance and amazing question asking in his interviews. I’m taking lots of notes for building up a brand and community in an authentic and trusting way.
- Cal Newport – Deep Life podcast. Really really good solocast. I actually love the way this dude lives/acts/is. He’s down to earth without being “Huberman/Lex Friedman/Tim Ferriss” famous, and he feels down to earth because he teaches at Georgetown and lives in Washington, DC (my old hometown area). He’s what I strive for with work/life/creative/fitness balance… or at least it feels like it.
