My philosophy in sports
Who I am and why I want to advise you in triathlon
I like endurance sports because they are true. They can't be cheated or bought. They can be enjoyed in a group and have fun. But they can be also done individually and the time can be used for contemplation and sorting ideas.
I started with triathlon relatively late and without much experience. Especially in swimming and cycling, which was new to me, many people advised, encouraged and inspired me. I would like to pay it back by helping also you. This project is not primarily commercial. The reason why I do this is mainly from enthusiasm. I will be happy to help you in your beginnings with advice and consultations according to my time possibilities. If you would like more attention from me and you want me to lead you in your training, lets discuss it individually.
I got a good general sports basics at an athletic elementary sports school. Then I spent several years orienteering, cross-country skiing, cycling and later snowboarding. After a long break in performance sports, when we, with my wife Klára, raised two children, I returned to endurance running at the age of 37 (2010) and started running marathons. In 2014, I added swimming and cycling and started training for the first Ironman. I did it in 2016 in Zurich and then every year one another.
In 2017, I started studying triathlon at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports at Charles University in Prague, and in 2020 I successfully graduated with a bachelor's exam and a Triathlon coaching certificate. Take a look at my bachelor's thesis. (in Czech) I have worked on a topic Analysis of the current state of training records in triathlon.
I am willing to share with you my theoretical knowleadge and my practical experience from training and competing, especially for long triathlon distances, if you want it.
