Stop doubting yourself

Stop believing you can’t do it

If this fat strongman can run 48 marathons

If this marathon runner can go on to represent his country in rugby

If this rugby player can get in the shape of his life

Then why can’t you?

Believe you can, get to work and keep showing up

That’s how winning is done

A fresh set of 7 awaits, let’s get after it

Keep moving forwards

Your body is a tool not an ornament.

Twelve month ‘transformation’ but really the thing that transformed was what my body was actually being trained for.

The guy on the left was just finishing 48 consecutive marathons.

The guy on the right is just prepping for Englands Most Powerful Man.

Neither is right or wrong, both will likely draw criticism, both just fit for the purpose of the performance outcome I want to achieve.

I guess my point of sharing this 12 month picture comparison is - if we stop choosing exercise as a way to lose weight/change our body but choose exercise for a performance outcome (not all performance means competing btw) then we might actually be a lot happier with what we see, the reason for what we see it and enjoy the process along the way.

Instead of just judging what you see in the mirror you get to see all the things the body you have is capable of and can do.

It also highlights the point that you really can do anything with your body as long as you want to do the work.

From strongman to endurance athlete back to strongman… the choice starts with you.

The outcome dictated by your output.

Never too late to start,

Never too late to change.

It starts with you.

Always - keep moving forwards.

Tell ya what, I reckon the Sahara was more comfortable to sit down in than middle England right now 😂😂

Although tbf todays hardship was running out of ice vs the inconvenience of having to run a marathon in it for a stage of Marathon des Sables.

This weather always makes me smile as I remember that trip, the memories made, the bonds forged and the lessons learned.

Been interesting looking back at many of the things I swore I’d never take for granted being yep, you guessed it, taken for granted 😂 especially considering tonight’s bbq feast compared to crunchy half cooked mac n cheese over there 🙈

Hope those running MdS next year got plenty of miles in over these last few days 😂

Remember kids, stay hydrated and if you ever wondered whether MdS was for you at least you got a bit of a chance this weekend to question it in more detail 😂😂

Keep moving forwards.
