When should I start training for Ironman Cascais 2027

Hey, so I’m thinking of doing Ironman Cascais next year, I have done two 70.3 this year.

Initially my plan was to take some time off and focus on just lifting weights for fun until the new year, but I’m concerned I will loose endurance.

Should I just slowly start training for the full Ironman? If so what’s the best approach to not end up feeling burnt out.

Thank you!

22-Year-Old Cybersecurity Student Looking for Ways to Make Money Online

Hey everyone, I’m a 22-year-old cybersecurity student based in Scotland, currently in my second year of university.

At the moment, I work full-time as a postman. It pays the bills, but honestly, I hate it, and with winter coming up, I'm really starting to feel burnt out. My goal isn't to become rich overnight or find some magic side hustle. I'd just like to earn enough online to cover my basic living expenses so I can reduce my hours, focus more on my studies, and dedicate more time to training.

A bit about me:
\- Fluent in English, Polish, and Spanish
\- Strong work ethic and highly disciplined
\- Passionate about triathlons, endurance sports, and travelling
\- Studying cybersecurity with the goal of building a career in tech
\- Happy to learn new skills if there's a realistic path to earning money online

Any suggestions from people who have managed to transition from a physical job to earning online.

Grieving my dogs death while training

Hey there everyone so a couple of weeks ago my dog past away and ever since I have just been a ball of mush, my diet has been all over the place, done barely any training, sleep schedule is bad. I've got a Ironman 70.3 next weekend in Serbia, which is just making the whole situation worse, it’s costing me a lot of money to fly there with my family and my bike but I feel like shit and have lost all my motivation.

My dog passed away and I’m not feeling too good, I’ve got a triathlon next week which is making the situation worse

Hey there everyone so at the beginning of the month I went on holiday with some friends, just before my trip my dog wasn’t feeling too well. Halfway through the trip, my sister called saying that unfortunately my dog had cancer and didn’t make it. I got back from my trip a week ago and I just feel like a ball of mush, my diet has been all over the place, done barely any training, sleep schedule is bad. I’ve got a triathlon next weekend abroad, which I have trained for a while and spent a lot of money but just really don’t feel like it. I don’t know what to do, nothings the same without her.

She friendzoned me but we hang out like a couple, now we’re sharing a bed on holiday

So I’m a bit confused about my situation and could really use some outside perspective.

A while ago I met this girl on Hinge. We went on a few dates and I really liked her, but she told me she didn’t feel a romantic attraction and we agreed to just be friends.

Since then, though, we’ve been hanging out every week, and honestly…it feels like more than just friendship sometimes. We have amazing chemistry, we laugh a lot, and I genuinely enjoy being around her.

Last week she came over, I cooked her favourite meal and made her favourite dessert, and we spent the whole evening playing cards and just talking. It ended up going on until midnight. Afterward, I drove her home and we were singing along to our guilty pleasure songs in the car.

Later that night she texted me this long message thanking me, saying how amazing I am, how comfortable she feels, how she feels really listened to, and how “lucky she is.” That honestly got to me because I still have feelings for her.

Now here’s where it gets even more confusing: in a couple of weeks we’re going on holiday together, and when we booked it, we ended up getting a hotel room with one king-size bed.

Visiting Thailand for 2 weeks in August

Hi! My partner and I are planning a two-week trip to Thailand in August, and we’ll be flying into Phuket. We’re not really into partying—we much prefer nature, outdoor activities, and more relaxed experiences.
I’d really appreciate some help putting together an itinerary, as I’m not sure which places to visit or how long to stay in each. Any recommendations or advice would be amazing. Thank you!
