Jed Morris Training. Season 1: Dad to Ironman
40, two kids, every number public.
I finished a half Ironman about 15 years ago. Then came a career, two kids and a lot of excuses. On October 24, 2027 I race a full IRONMAN in Sacramento. Every workout, every pound and every lab result goes on this page, one day late and nothing hidden.

House rules
How this page works
The rules are the point. They keep the data honest and keep my family safe.
Rule 1
24 hour delay
Yesterday's numbers go up today. Never live, never same day.
Rule 2
No locations, ever
No GPS, no routes, no maps, no start times. Distance, time, pace, heart rate and power only. Coordinates are dropped before anything is stored.
Rule 3
Missed days stay missed
If I skip a workout or a day goes unlogged, it shows. Nothing gets deleted or backfilled to look better.
Rule 4
Daily nutrition totals only
Calories, protein, carbs and fat for the day, and whether I hit the target. Not meal by meal.
Rule 5
Quarterly lab summaries
Key markers every quarter with the reference range. Not the raw lab reports.
Yesterday, Sunday, November 8
Baseline coming
Daily numbers start on launch day. First up is the baseline: weight, labs, a DEXA scan, a VO2 test, a heart screen and the first progress photo.

Week 45
This week's grade
I publish the plan before the week starts. The grade is plan versus actual, computed from the data. I never type it in.
The first weekly plan goes up the week of November 16. Grades start the day after.
The log
Last 14 days
One row per day. Gaps stay gaps.
The first row lands the morning after launch day. Until then there is nothing to show, and I will not fill it with practice data.
Weight
The scale, every morning
Same scale, first thing, before coffee. Bad days included.
Baseline coming. The trend line starts after the first two weigh-ins.
Progress photos
One photo a week
Same day, same time, same light, same pose, same spot. No pump, no filter.
Baseline coming. The first photo goes up launch week.
Labs
Biomarkers, every quarter
A summary of the markers that matter, with the lab's reference range. Not the raw reports.
Baseline coming. Bloodwork, a DEXA scan and a VO2 test are first. After that, a new summary every quarter.
Road to monetization
The channel has to pay for itself
I would train anyway. The channel only has to cover filming and editing. Step one is the YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours. I want to apply by January 15. On February 1, 2027 the bar for new channels doubles to 8,000 hours.

The business
Monthly numbers
Revenue, sponsors and subscribers, every month. If a brand pays me or gives me something free, it shows up here.
Nothing to report yet. Revenue is zero and there are no sponsors. The first report comes after the first full month on the channel.
Latest videos
The training, the races and the lab results, on video.

The Training Log
Get the week in your inbox
Every week: the plan, the grade, what broke and what I changed. It is a section of my Substack, so you can get the training emails, the business emails, or both. Free.
Not medical advice. This is one person's training log, not a program for you. Talk to your doctor before you start or change a training plan. Sponsors, free products, comped services and affiliate links are disclosed when they happen. Numbers post with a 24 hour delay and never include locations.
