Failure Isn’t The Opposite Of Success, It’s The Shortcut.
London didn’t go how I wanted.
I turned up in 1:03–1:05 shape and walked away disappointed.
But here’s the truth.
That race gave me the exact roadmap to what needs to improve.
No guessing.
No ego.
Just real feedback.
My limiters were clear.
Lunges drained me more than expected.
Wall balls exposed my capacity under fatigue.
That isn’t failure, that’s data.
So what changes now?
The next training block is built to bring both stations into the top percentile.
✅ Lunge strength and fatigue resilience
Walking lunges after compromised runs.
Heavy sled pushes straight into lunges.
Weekly density work, 100 to 150 total reps under fatigue.
✅ Wall ball engine rebuild
EMOM wall ball sessions.
Race pace broken sets focusing on smooth cycling.
Breathing control and threshold conditioning to keep the heart rate stable.
✅ Transitions
Sled to lunge to wall ball practice so there’s no mental or physical drop off.
✅ Run under fatigue
More compromised running off stations, training to run fast when the legs don’t want to.

Every race shows you exactly what needs work.
Those weak spots aren’t problems, they’re targets.
Avoid them or build them until they become strengths.
Manchester is coming.
We don’t run from feedback, we move straight towards it.
