A MODERN TAKE ON THE RENAISSANCE IDEAL
Renaissance Kinetics is built around a simple idea that we don’t have to develop in only one direction. Taking inspiration from the Renaissance ideal of cultivating both mind and body, it brings together the areas that have shaped much of my adult life including continual learning, physical training and the habit of following curiosity wherever it leads.
The result is a space for writing on ideas, books, training, recovery and the longer-term effects of consistent practice. The subjects may differ, but they’re connected by the same underlying aim of continuing to learn, develop and avoid becoming too narrowly defined by any one pursuit.
BEHIND RENAISSANCE KINETICS
A lifelong pursuit of learning, training and continual development.
Nearly twenty years of consistent training, including more than a decade of 90–100 mile weeks, marathons, ultramarathons and hybrid events. More than 1,000 books across philosophy, economics, history, science and whatever else has caught my attention along the way.
My education remains an ongoing project, driven largely by curiosity. My training is much the same, a continual process of testing, adapting and maintaining physical capability.
Combined, they sit at the centre of how I pursue a meaningful and fulfilling life.
