This episode covers: The toughest challenge I have done to date The experience of the journey along with the lessons from completing it In 2021, my cardio goal was to complete all separate parts of an ironman triathlon separately. It would ensure I get fit, and also put me in a good position if I ever wanted to do one in future. But I picked too many goals that year, and didn’t prioritise the cardio ones properly. I completed the 3.9km swim, but didn’t even train for the marathon or cycle. Then one weekend in December as I realised this, I said f**k it: I’m going for the marathon tomorrow morning. Untrained. In barefoot shoes. You said you’d do it, now it's time to back up your aspirations with your actions. This wasn’t going to be a test of endurance, it was going to be a test of pure will. It was time to see how far the don’t settle attitude could take me. 3 Ways I Can Help You: Physical Freedom ProgramOvercome chronic pain & injury.

This episode covers: A deep dive on how adaptable us humans really are Proof that change is not just possible, but inevitable  I used to believe that I couldn't change. That I was resigned to chronic pain & injury, and all the other things I didn’t like about my life. But it couldn’t have been further from the truth. But once I started taking ownership & educating myself, I ended up down the rabbit hole of evolutionary biology. I began to see where we came from, the story of our species, and why we have gone from swinging out of trees in Africa to conquering the world. The truth is we are the most adaptable species on the planet. And most people have no clue about the amazing potential they have. I have gone on to do things I never thought possible since then, but it all started with finally understanding what humans are truly capable of.
