Thoughts on the web, travel & remote working life by Paddy O’Hanlon
These are notes for my own reference, not a comprehensive post, I’ll leave out most explanations and won’t explore various options. This is just a set of steps that worked for my needs, hopefully they’re useful to someone else. Getting this to work today took far too long!

I’ve been living in Prado del Rey for over 8 years now. It started as a three month trip. The plan was for Lidiya to volunteer for a while, and do a yoga teacher training, then we’d see where we should go next. Now, we are happy parents to a two year old little girl, […] The post So I opened a coworking space in Cadiz, Spain appeared first on The Remote Manifesto .
In 2019 so far, I have run almost 1,000km, with 56,000m of positive elevation in around 130 hours. All that training with a single focus, to complete the 115km, 7,000m+ ultra mountain marathon MIUT, Madeira Island Ultra Trail, starting midnight April 27th 2019. After watching this video, I felt I had to do it. Crossing […] The post Madeira Island Ultra Trail: “Did Not Finish” appeared first on The…
I ran my second mountain ultra marathon at the start of March 2018 and wrote up a race report. I decided to do a second race only after close to 8 months of churning over training improvement ideas in my mind. I was convinced there was a way to run faster with less, but more […] The post Training for a Mountain Ultra Marathon appeared first on The Remote Manifesto .
This time last year I had just finished my first marathon ultra trail race. After over 14 hours of running in the cold, wet and fog shrouded mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema, I told myself I would never repeat the experience. A year later, I sit here typing at home, in Prado del Rey, […] The post UTSB 2018 Race Report – My Second Mountain Ultra Trail Run in Prado del Rey, Spain appeared first…
I’ve been a quiet advocate of having healthy, open conversations about sex since, I guess, around 2012. I’m fortunate to have many close friends I can comfortably talk with about, pretty much anything related to, sex and sexuality. I think outside of that group though, I’m inclined to hold back a bit. Especially if I […] The post The Best Book on Sex I’ve Ever Read appeared first on The Remote…
Last Sunday, March 5th, I completed my first ultra distance trail run. I crossed the finish line at 1:18am. 14 hours, 18 mins earlier I juggled doubts at the starting line. The Ultra Trail Sierras del Bandolero would cover a distance of 86km (54 miles), but with an elevation change of 7,600m (24,000 feet). 3,800m uphill, […] The post Rain, Wind, Fog, Mud and 86km of Mountains – Bandolerita (UTSB)…
My newly established morning routine includes a short meditation, gymnastics training, reading and writing. I’ve committed to doing those four things daily as often as possible. So far, it’s going very well, I believe because of two things. “Setting myself up to win”. And consistency. Setting myself up to win This concept, I’m fairly sure, […] The post Setting myself up to win and Consistency…
I listened to Tim Ferriss’ podcast, What I’ve Learned, on how he structures reflection on the year past. Essentially his approach is to go through your previous year’s calendar and pick out 20% of the things that caused 80% of the positive emotions and outcomes. Then look at the 20% of things that caused 80% […] The post Reflecting on 2016 to Create an Amazing 2017 appeared first on The Remote…
It’s Monday 10 Oct 2016. A little over a day after I completed my second obstacle course race. Another Spartan Race Super. I finished 9th place in the Elite heat. 10th overall, out of about 1,900. 2nd in my age group for what that’s worth. I was dreaming of a top 10 finish, but expected […] The post Spartan Race Super Barcelona 2016 appeared first on The Remote Manifesto .
