Jurand Czabański from the Guinness World Records straight to FAKRO

Jurand Czabański, a Polish triathlete who has made history in global sports, visited the headquarters of his sponsor, FAKRO. The visit took place a few weeks after his unprecedented feat of completing 50 consecutive Ironman triathlons – an achievement that no one had ever accomplished before.

Jurand Czabański completed 190 km of swimming, 9,000 km of cycling and 2,110 km of running. It took him 48 days of continuous effort, which is a world-class achievement and will etch his name into triathlon history and the Guinness World Records.

During his visit to FAKRO, Jurand Czabański toured the production facility, product showroom and company headquarters. He met with employees and took part in a photo shoot. The athlete also gave interviews to local media, sharing behind-the-scenes details of his superhuman feat and his plans for the future.

This is not the first record in the athlete's career. In May 2025, Czabański set the world's best time for a 10-time Ironman, proving that he is one of the most enduring triathletes in the world.

FAKRO emphasises that the triathlete's success perfectly fits in with the company's philosophy, which is based on innovation, consistency and courage in pursuing ambitious goals.

“The FAKRO team proudly followed the athlete's progress, cheering him on until the finish line. Jurand Czabański has become an inspiration not only for the world of triathlon, but for everyone who believes in the power of perseverance and courage, values that are also crucial in business,” emphasised by Sławomir Gawlik, FAKRO Group Marketing Director.

The challenge undertaken and completed by Czabański is not just a sporting curiosity. It is a story about pushing boundaries, strength of character and determination – values that are close to FAKRO's philosophy.

After completing 50 Ironman triathlons in a row, a challenge no human has ever accomplished before, Jurand Czabański talks about how to find true passion, where to draw determination from, why improvisation is sometimes necessary, and how important FAKRO's support was in helping him achieve his record-breaking dreams.

‘The Power of Passion’ is a FAKRO campaign promoting GREENVIEW windows, but also an approach based on developing talents and turning them into passion. How can you find your passion and not lose determination in pursuing your goals?

- "If we love what we do, the determination to act comes naturally. To me, the most important thing is to be systematic in our actions – this is what allows us to achieve success step by step."

What was it like when you made the decision to take on 50 Ironman triathlons?

- "It was a completely spontaneous idea. I felt unsatisfied after the competition, I wanted to do something that seems impossible – something that scares me, yet fascinates me and makes me motivated to work even harder."

Do you believe that “boundaries only exist in our minds”? How would you explain this?

- "I think so. It is our mind that pushes us further and further. Our body often says ‘stop’ – pain, weakness or muscle fatigue make us want to stop. But at the same time, our mind looks for an excuse to keep going. The brain produces a whole host of hormones, such as dopamine and adrenaline, which can drive us to continue our efforts."

FAKRO focuses on innovation, while you focus on pushing the limits of human endurance. Do these two passions overlap?

- "Of course they do. Innovation helps push the boundaries of human endurance."

In extreme sports, any disturbance can throw you off your rhythm. How did you deal with ambient noise, and how important was the ‘acoustic hygiene’ during your effort?

- "I can become very lost in thought, shutting off from external stimuli. Even if there was chaos around me, I was in my own world."

FAKRO windows help reduce energy loss. How did you reduce your ‘energy loss’ during your 48-day effort?

- "I tried not to react emotionally to everything. Emotions – such as euphoria or anger – sapped a lot of my energy. Even conversations with others were sometimes problematic."

Did you have to improvise and look for new solutions during the challenge?

- "It was an everyday occurrence. We were constantly searching for different solutions. No one had ever covered such distances before me, so we had no one to look to for guidance. We were blazing new trails, and everything was improvised."

During such an extreme exertion, did you feel the need to create at least a temporary comfort zone?

- "No. I had one goal – to complete this gruelling challenge. I dreamed of comfort, but I knew it would only come after I finished."

What would you say to someone who thinks ‘it's impossible’?

- "Everything is possible – you just have to want it badly enough and pursue your dream goal!"

What does FAKRO America's support mean to you during such an extreme challenge?

- "FAKRO is my sponsor, supporting me from start to finish and helping me achieve my goals and dreams. I am very grateful for the trust and support they have shown me."
