Building a better life in the margins - without sacrificing family time.
I'm Martin. Dad of two young kids. Software engineer. Marathon runner. Real estate investor. And someone who's constantly asking: "How can I do this better with the limited time I have?"
Here's the truth: I don't have unlimited time for training, side projects, or self-improvement. I have about 15-20 hours per week. Some weeks less when life gets chaotic.
But I've learned that constraints breed creativity. Limited time forces optimization. And you can make serious progress without living in the gym or ignoring your family.
What I create:
šāāļø Training plans for parents with real schedules
š Systems for staying fit while working full-time
ā” Strategies for optimizing health, productivity, and performance
š” Resources for ambitious people who prioritize family
My approach: Small, consistent improvements. Flexible systems that survive real life. Prioritizing what matters. Making every hour count.
Whether it's marathon training, building better habits, optimizing your routine, or just figuring out how to stay healthy during busy seasons - I share what actually works when you can't dedicate your entire life to one goal.
Based in Colorado. Training for Eugene Marathon. Renovating an investment property. Writing about life optimization and running.
