There are 30 days until I toe the line at the Kaunas Marathon.
Not a year of prep. Not a dialed-in performance plan.
Just urgency, intent, and a mission to prove that mental and physical conditioning—done with obsession—can make the impossible real.
My goal? Sub-4 hours.
Not because I’m a seasoned runner. I’m not.
Before this training period, I’d never run more than 50km in total.
But I believe in the power of pressure.
And I believe that if I can reach the top 1% physically, everything else in life—business, fatherhood, resilience—will follow.
The Run That Changed Everything
After I signed up for Kaunas, my first run wasn’t easy.
It was 30km around a 260m track—which meant 120+ brutal laps.
No scenery. No external hype. Just repetition, pain, and clarity.
I finished it at 8km/h.
That session told me something I’ll never forget:
I am building something savage inside of me.
Ten days later, I did it again—30km at 5:25/km pace. The longest run of my life. The best proof of progress I’ve ever felt.
Between the Long Runs
During those two weeks, I stacked volume like a machine:
• 8km daily runs
• Double sessions
• Track work and tempo efforts
The training was simple: hit it hard, hit it often, and recover just enough to do it again.
But then came the setback.
Injury, Pain, and Resetting the Mind
A few days ago, I felt my knee start to go. IT band issues.
Suddenly, the path to sub-4 didn’t look clean anymore.
Now I’m adapting—slow runs, bike sessions, active rehab.
Still moving forward. Still obsessed.
I’m not stopping.
Because the pain just confirms the standard I’m trying to reach.
When you think that you are done, you're only 40% into what your body's capable of doing.

Why This Marathon Matters
Kaunas isn’t a race. It’s a statement.
It’s a message to myself—and anyone watching—that the body responds to intent.
That structure beats chaos.
That you can become the 1% if you treat life like a proving ground.
I’m building Train365 from this headspace.
And I want to create a system—alongside elite coaches, athletes, and experts—that helps others do the same.
Not a lifestyle plan.
A transformation protocol for people chasing something savage.
Whether I hit sub-4 or crawl across that line, this is just the beginning.
