Connor ran his first ever marathon!!
4 hours and 19 minutes.
Loved every bit of it too, the atmosphere, the crowds, all of it.
But hereâs the bit you wonât see in a finish line photo or from this one of us in the HQ...
A few months out he started getting knee trouble.
Not exactly what you want heading into your first ever marathonđ
Instead of ignoring it or panicking, he did the right thing.
Got himself to a physio.
And kept us in the loop every step of the way.
Every update, every change, he passed it on.
So we could adjust his training around it, specific to him, like we do with everyone.
Thatâs not an easy thing to do.
Most people either ignore a ni**le and hope it disappears or panic and stop altogether.
Connor did neither.
He worked through it, kept communicating & trusted the process.
Result, he went into the marathon with that knee giving him zero bother.
On top of all that, the manâs been getting stronger too.
Bent over rows up from 40kg for 8 to 60kg for 8.
Dumbbell bench up from 17.5kg for 12 to 25kg for 12.
All with quality form.
First marathon, injury managed, stronger than when he started.
An outstanding fu***ng effort that...
We're proud of you my man!
DM us the word Sh*tebag if you want to know more about what we do at ProjectU!
Have a cracking weekend folks!
