Running at the biggest triathlon in the world for a good cause with HeartKids
I had my first DNF in an ultra marathon at BTU110 due to knee issues. I have to embrace my inner shark and learn from this - Sharks only move forwards.
TLDR - To date (May 2022) my longest (128K) and most difficult Ultra Marathon in Central Australia. Gruelling course with no forgiveness. But I made it in 23h 22m and in 6th place. Amazing what the body and mind can do!
About me and this site
I have a lot of hobbies and this is a new one: blogging things I’m interested in, trying to be more creative and sharing my many learnings with my friends, family and anyone else willing to read. The main areas I’m planning on covering are:
1. My Life: Track and gain clarity into my own way of life, and;
2. Life Advice: Share my life philosophy with you with the aim to inspire

TLDR: Piano is bloody difficult. It’s okay to ‘give up’ on goals if your reasons are strong enough or you’re not enjoying something as much as you had initially thought. The most important thing is to reevaluate and put that time into something else productive.
TLDR; Learn what motivates you to run, be it Strava Crowns (KOMs), Nature, Air, whatever it may be find your reason for running. What's the goal - Speed, distance, time? Do some research backed by science to improve yourself and table up a training plan that fits YOUR life and something that MOTIVATES you.If you're to take one thing from this, think to make yourself Training Schedule (Weekly / Monthly Google Sheet)
Running form is important but don't get too caught up on it if you run pain free and feels good.
If you lack discipline, coaches will be amazing for you. If you are self motivated to get out running and also to learn, then maybe you're better off alone.
