🌴188. Consistency > Intensity

With 122 days to go until I head off to Nepal for the Everest Base Camp trek and the 6,200m Lobuche climb (still can’t believe I just said that 😳), training is getting real. And I had a massive realisation this week — climbing a mountain feels easier than prepping for one!

This episode is a behind-the-scenes update on how my marathon mindset is being completely reworked. I used to run four days a week. Now I’m training six out of seven — and while the effort feels lower in intensity, the consistency is next level.

The biggest insight? A nugget from Matt Stewart on our team prep call:

👉 “Consistency is better than intensity.”

That line hit me. And I’m not just talking hiking. This shows up in:

• Business: Small, regular action > big one-off efforts
• Content: One post a week > one viral post and ghosting
• Growth: Micro-moves build momentum
• Confidence: Doing what you said you’d do — again and again

So today’s episode is for anyone:

• Procrastinating on a project because it’s not “perfect” yet
• Struggling to keep up a habit or training schedule
• Wanting to be more visible, reliable, or just in the game

You don’t need to go hard. You just need to go often.

And that next tiny step? That’s the one that changes everything.
