Learnings from the long run.
Sunday’s epic event with ASICS Running showed us so much about the spirit of our members and the power of running in a pack (like we needed reminding!)
For those who don’t know, we gave participants three hours at the iconic Debach Airfield to run as many laps of a 2.5km loop as they could.
Here’s what stood out to us.
‘If you want to go far, go together’ isn’t a throwaway clickbait quote, it’s real.
Taking even just a few seconds to try and lift someone else with words of encouragement while you’re running will do wonders for not just their willingness to keep going, but yours too.
Everyone’s limits are different, but no one’s is more significant than someone else’s. Putting yourself in a position to discover your potential with others is what matters.
Seeing friends achieve what they previously thought was impossible is rocket fuel for your own motivation.
…and when you think you’re done, more often than not, there’s always one more step, one more minute, one more kilometre you are capable of.
Thank you to ASICS for the fresh footwear, Awesome Supplements for the top quality hydration and Helen Kirkman Media for capturing a really special morning of our community smashing personal milestones.
