Five years ago today, I made a choice that changed my life — I chose discomfort. What started as a challenge became a daily practice. Today, I live by it.

Ending this week still flying high, full of dopamine. I got the chance to meet (and plunge!) with the pioneer of cold immersion and breathwork. I discovered @iceman_hof during a time when everything felt dark for everyone. I started practicing his breathwork and eventually ventured into the cold through daily ice baths. For years, I’ve wanted to meet him in person. He’s been one of the most important catalysts in my journey and played a huge role in shaping the person I am today.
This week, that dream came true. Special thanks to @tcche_org for making it a reality.
One piece of advice: we all only get one ride. Send that email. Post that post. Slide into that DM. Life is too short. You never know who you’re going to meet, who you’re going to inspire, or whose life you might change — including your own. 🚀🧊

OFFICIALLY THE ICEMAN. #worldrecord
Never would have thought that posting my icebaths daily for accountability would eventually validate this feat.

For years, I've conquered the cold waters. Time to conquer the land. My name is Ron and this is 21.1K
Been half nervous when I found out I'm running half marathon with 2 days noticed but I took this opportunity to prep for my upcoming Ironman in July. So gratefull to @preshdineshkumar for this challenge and having him on my side all throughout the race really gave me confidence. He's also responsible for most of this rontent. 📸
Special thanks to @newbalance@newbalancerunning for giving me wings. @liftthecitysupplements for powering me up daily, @relaxacare@garmincanada for all the tools I needed to keep me in track with my metrics, @getflytex for the support (literally) for my knees, @impactkitchen for all the healthy meals. Lastly, to everyone who reached out including strangers, definitely gave me that extra boost.
This is your sign to do more. The mountain is you.

If things feel tough, if progress feels slow. If it feels like you're not getting anywhere. Keep swimming. You're closer than you think.
Countdown: 72 days #ironman

I hated running all my life. It's uncomfortable. It's painful. So, I ran anyway.

Good Friday Energy ⚡️
Some runners avoid treadmills because it's boring but I think it's great training tool too! It's fantastic when used correctly. You can set specific speed, set a specific time, and adjust inclines while staring at a wall. Still better than staying in bed.

It finally hit 20°C today and it's safe to say winter is officially over. I spend most of the season out at the island each year, and it’s become my second home. I met some incredible people along the way. Although for some, winter is a time for hibernation but it doesn't have to be that way. We spend 93% of our lives indoors, yet humans evolved in nature. We are born to be outside.
⚠️: We are a community of outdoor cold enthusiast. Wild ice can be extremely dangerous. Although it may not always seem like it, we take safety seriously. Have safety protocols and gears with you when going out in unpredictable environments.
