How you do anything, is how you do everything, inc

How you do anything, is how you do everything, including this non-running business.

When you have been doing something for a long while, like I have with running, you build a confidence, a sense of safety. And that confidence allows you to do other things that are outside of your comfort zone. But when it’s not on offer, everything is outside your comfort zone. And it reminds you how hard beginning was at the start.

There could be plenty of reasons to put it in the too hard basket and do nothing, but no good reasons.

And the person that running taught you that you could be is the person who sees an opportunity.

Doctor: it’s not a stress fracture {mansplains $Doctor: it’s not a stress fracture {mansplains the difference between bone and muscle} Me: okay well here are all the reasons why it is. Doctor: I’m sure it’s not Me: let the x-ray decide Doctor: I’ll refer you just so we can eliminate it. {Results come in} Doctor: so it does look like there’s a subtle line on your x-ray Me: almost exactly like a stress fracture. {also me: loving being right SO MUCH, I almost forgot I can’t run for 6 weeks} This was me on my last run on Tuesday when I pulled the plug after 5km because I just felt off. Stress fractures usually come from under-eating or from big changes in training or surface. Neither of those things are issues I have but I think the huge emotional and mental stressors of this year have just left me under-recovered for my usual training. I’m giving myself the weekend to wallow and then in Monday I’ll be at the gym doing whatever adapted training I can and hitting the pool. As a running coach you like to think you know what you are doing, but sometimes shit happens 💜$

A lot of times you can think about a PB as one num

A lot of times you can think about a PB as one number. But running isn’t so much what you can do once, in perfect conditions - but what can you do consistently.

Instead of looking at your PB as one number, start thinking if it as your top five average. Not what can you do once, but what can you reliably do five times.

Today I had a tempo ladder of 10,8,6,4,2 minutes with 2 minutes walking recovery between each which given how warm it’s getting I was very grateful for!

I didn’t have high hopes for this run after an emotional week, but you just show up and see what your body feels like doing.

“To cross an ocean

You must love the ocean

Before you love the far shore.”

Words that have given me more than a small amount of strength over the last week.

Grief is hard and sneaky and uncompromising.

And you have to give yourself permission to know that just because you feel your mistakes and your undone words and actions hollowing you out, that doesn’t define you or your relationship.

Pain only hurts.

It’s what you do next that could be transformative.

New #podcast is now available! I'm talking to @kurrajonghill about all things 250km stage race.

Races look a little bit different at the moment so we talked about why the term 'virtual race' is stupid, what were the cool things about doing something like this from home and where all the big challenges where as well.

I hope you loved this one as much as I did! You can find the podcast on all podcast apps or the link is in the bio.

Also if you loved the last episode with @scidocmartin you can find an extra bonus episode over at patreon.com/opmove too!

For all the times you’ve believed you were ‘too much’, ‘too hard’, ‘too difficult’ or whatever else you’ve been led to believe - remember every time you don’t shrink, you are giving someone else permission to rise

3km PBs are kind of hard to track. Because Strava

3km PBs are kind of hard to track. Because Strava only does 2 miles, which is close, but a bit over.

Anyway, I’ve always liked 3km efforts because it’s a bit more humane than 5km and because 3km was my friend Rachel’s favourite distance. She told me it was and that’s how I knew she was a sprinter at heart. Recently it was the anniversary of her death. I’m my mind I want to say passing because it’s more gentle. But she didn’t pass, she died. The cancer came back and all I had left was the last memory of hugging her goodbye complaining about minute Melbourne coffees. Seriously though, like coffees for fairies.

Anyway when the @steigensport worldwide 3km was announced I thought 3km would be a fun goal. I tried and fell short a few times.

But today I took 10 seconds off for 13:11.

And it gave me a hint that maybe there is more speed in the legs after all.

Working hard is often idolised and for good reason

Working hard is often idolised and for good reason. Hard work, persistency, determination are all going to do a lot of heavy lifting to get you to where you want to go.

But if you don’t know when to take a break, or take a step back or imagine a different way of doing things done great opportunities for growth are going to pass you by.

Knowing when to push forward and when to change tack is all part of intentional practice, but it also helps me to have a coach to give me perspective.

Sometimes we all need to be reminded that resting is not quitting.

If you want that great moment in a run, you are pr

If you want that great moment in a run, you are probably going to have to commit to a whole lot of ordinary moments in your garage and/or gym.

The pictures aren’t as pretty, there’s less to look at - but ultimately it comes down to what your willing to do when you are the only one there.

Your whole self doesn’t have to believe it, but

Your whole self doesn’t have to believe it, but there is a version of yourself that does.

No one prepares you for when your life will change

No one prepares you for when your life will change.

This morning I ran 2 x 5km tempo and t seemed like kind of a big deal.

On the way home I got a missed call and by the time I’d parked my car in front of our house, I had a message that my beautiful friend had died.

I’d known her since she was born. We grew up together. We lived together in our late teens - early twenties.

She always thought I was too sentimental.

I won’t be allowed at her funeral because I’m not allowed to cross the Queensland border.

Sometimes the sadness settles in your bones: but you also want to hold onto it, because the sadness is your last piece of connection.

Some things you can only learn the hard way, which

Some things you can only learn the hard way, which is definitely what I did with the whole seductive nature of ‘starting over’ like if all the stars would just align you could do it perfect ‘next time’.

But it’s just a lie right? Bevause next time you hit that sticking point you are still stressed or tired or busy and perfectionism won’t save you from the work that is required to get you to the other side.

And in all that time in between when you stop and when you started is just wasted waiting time.

No matter what you are doing the power of consistency will always get you where you want to go.

Running on your birthday is a good tradition. It

Running on your birthday is a good tradition.

It reminds you that of all the things you choose, running is a relationship - not just a hobby or a habit or a practice.

I take my birthday run to remind myself that you can always be who you are.

And you can leave the performative parts that you think you need behind.

Take that moment to be whole and complete and enough as you are.

Where do you go when you run? Nowhere, because I’m always right here.

You think of change as one choice, or you hope that’s what it is.

But it’s a million choices. Choices when you are tired. Choices when you are emotional. Choices when you are stressed. Choices when you are primed to take the path of least resistance.

For that to happen, the pain of staying the same has to be greater than the pain of change.

It has to be worth it to go through that fire. And see who you are on the other side.

Everyone likes the idea of change, not everyone likes the demands of the process.

So when I’m struggling with something I ask myself - do you really want to change or are you just romanticising the outcome of work you don’t want to do?

At a certain point, you just can’t get any more

At a certain point, you just can’t get any more saturated so you might as well enjoy it.

It took me two coffees to get out the door this morning. But it’s always the runs you are expecting to grind through that you actually love.

Recovery run today which means going slower than you think you need to go so you’ll feel better than you think you will.

There are no secrets in running, just consistency and time. And I guess you just have to find a way to be in love with it for as long as possible.

When you are most in need of help, you are at your absolute least capable of asking for it. Instead for people close to you, understanding what it looks like can put you in a position to support someone who can’t ask you for help.$

The thing I love about long run days is there is only one requirement: you keep moving. And forward is a pace.

It are those days where running isn’t a workout, it’s just running and it rejuvenates the mind and body to be ready for whatever comes afterwards.

I run this loop every Wednesday but I never get bored or tired of it, because in 16km something always changes. Maybe it’s the sky, maybe it’s the trees, maybe it’s you.

Have you ever wondered why you ace that training plan or that event and then things kind of fall away?

Sometimes when you are so focused on a goal, even if you ace it - ultimately if you achieve it it’s no longer your goal or if you don’t, it’s also no longer your goal. Either way, it’s left behind. And it can even be kind of lonely.

Goals are always part of my process, but they are more like icing, than the cake you know?

But my purpose is not tied to a time or a goal or an event and it always stays with me.

On every Tuesday of recovery week I’ve had easy hills on my plan which is exactly what I was expecting today.

So I was a little surprised to find an 80 minute progression run instead.

Little bit aggressive after 10km tempo on Saturday, but okay 😜

Which is why you have a running coach in the first place right?

Because they don’t believe in the limitations that you allow to hang out with you, as if those limitations are family.

Never outrun your joy.

That has been my touchstone since the beginning.

Joy needs protecting.

Sometimes it means you run more or less.

But you protect that part of you that loves it so much.

It’s not a punishment. It’s not a calorie exchange.

It’s so much more important than that.
