Show Notes
Day 57 of preparing to run 3,000 kilometers around Ireland, and tonight’s session was a test of discipline, fatigue, and resilience. Finishing training at nearly midnight wasn’t about proving toughness—it was about sharing the reality of what it takes to pursue an ambitious, daunting goal. This journey isn’t just about endurance; it’s about the sacrifices, the behind-the-scenes struggles, and the mental battles that come with training at this level. After years of extreme challenges—from rowing an ocean to attempting Everest—I’ve never fully shared the daily grind that builds the foundation for these feats. That’s what this series is about: the unfiltered, raw reality of preparation.

The question that had to be answered: “Is my foot really stopping me running and pushing myself more, or is it a convenient excuse not to try?”
As I lined up to start my second Marathon des Sables, I wasn’t sure on how I would start. In previous days, my, until that point, clear intent had been disturbed due to some achilles tendon issues.
