Some of you may know me as Jenko.
I’m Dylan, I’m 22, and I’ve signed up for Ironman Frankfurt 2026.
Over the next 9 months, I’ll be documenting the journey, the training, the challenges, the small wins, and everything that comes with chasing a goal like this. And of course the odd Hyrox here and there ;)
No gimmicks, no filters, just the grind, the struggle, and the process of seeing what I’m capable of.

205 miles. One day. One mission. ☀️
We had one goal and one goal only. Beat the sun. And we did with 1hr 30 to spare!
When I finished I was told I was the youngest finisher and age group winner (probably because it was full of mid-life crisis warriors… but hey, a win’s a win 😂).
1st Place AG 🥇
Massive highs, a few lows, and memories that’ll last forever, especially getting to do this alongside my dad. Truly a day we’ll never forget.
Not the best idea for the hottest day of the year hitting 31*c but so worth it!
Big thank you to @isaaceustance the man who can coach anything, and a massive thank you to @girlingnutrition sorting out my eating / drinking to ensure I was on track the whole race!
The support has been unreal. Every message, every cheer, I appreciate all of you more than you know. Thank you ❤️

Hackney Quarter 2026 🏁🎉
I still can’t find KM 4 but this was honestly a really enjoyable race and also organised so well!
Big thanks to everyone involved, and whoever that was running backwards please look after your ankles 😭 crazy work!
P.S - If anyone has a hackney half big up for grabs please let me know :)

Staying hydrated just got a whole lot easier 💧✨
Liquid I.V. is more hydrating than water alone and replenishes electrolytes, perfect for keeping up with busy days.
The Sugar-Free Peach flavour is genuinely delicious, all the flavour, none of the sugar 🍑

Ironman training teaches you how to go.
But it doesn’t automatically teach you how to stop.
I’ve been stacking long miles, double days, constant output. And somewhere in that, you forget what baseline feels like.
Took time at @virginactiveuk Mayfair to actually switch off spa, heat, quiet. No stimulation. No pushing. Just letting the body settle.
Daily wellness isn’t soft. It’s strategic.

Eating 4000 / 5000 calories a day on an Ironman training plan is expensive... here’s how I got it under control.

Ironman doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
Here’s how to do it smart 👇
🏊 Swim – Skip the £400 wetsuit. Last season’s model or a decent second-hand one does the exact same job. Check eBay, Vinted, local tri groups.
🚴 Bike – You do not need a £10k tri bike. Facebook Marketplace and eBay are full of solid road bikes that will get you round. Upgrade later when you know the sport’s for you.
👟 Run – One good pair of all-rounders. That’s it. Don’t overcomplicate it.
🍌 Fuelling – Homemade rice cakes, banana, dates and electrolyte tabs will do the same job as £4 gels. Train your gut, keep it simple.
📍 Race choice – Not all Ironman events are priced the same. Smaller or local 70.3s and full distance races can save you £100s on entry alone. Pick smart.
The finish line looks the same no matter what you spent to get there. 💪
