Running business.

Having it both ways

Hit your OKRs and PBs.

Dearest Reader,

Hello there! I’m Jake. It’s lovely to have you on the site. I aim to make it the place for athletic professionals—those who strive to achieve peak success in their careers as well as running shoes. I’ve run a 2:49 marathon, enjoy long handstands on the gymnastic rings, and have had a diverse professional career spanning a dozen roles and countries. I’ve been a US Naval Officer in California, an English teacher in China, an EdTech consultant in Taiwan, and a pastry ingester in Paris, to name a few.

Like you, I understand the balancing act of maintaining a demanding career while still powering towards the next PB. Like you, I align with professionals with an athletically competitive mindset: the deck is important to us but not as dear as our personal health, growth, and improvement.

Thus, I’ve created a place for our favorite topics: running, business, and politics. In their presentation, I shall endeavor to be compelling, distinctive, and genuine. From research-backed training tips to nuanced analysis of markets and political trends, jakeabdinoor.com is the ultimate destination for the business-savvy runner looking to stay ahead in the race and the workplace. Join me on this journey of pushing boundaries in both the business world and on the roads.
