This will be a beautiful war. I promise myself I will push till I have a breakdown and than continue pushing. I believe that is where the magic is. The only thing I have control over is my mind, my body will do what it’s going to do, I accept that.

Embrace pain, embrace growth.

Thoughts from my morning run.

Things have been hard. Life has been requiring a lot of fight out of me lately. I’ve been emotionally and spiritually beat. If there is one thing I’ve learned in life it is that the lows we face always bring us more strength. I’ve never pulled out of a battle I was struggling in, I’ve always pushed through. I know from experience that the force that pushes against you WILL BREAK over time, but it doesn’t just give in. You have to wake up daily and give every thing you got. Live everyday like it’s your last and remember all pain is temporary(physical and emotional). Don’t be the one to break. When adversity strikes be thankful you have the opportunity to gain some strength and you have the physical and mental ability to keep pushing.

Strength and love. 💪🏽🖤 let’s fuckn fight.

This is me feeling lazy, unfocused, and unmotivated, allowing discipline to win. We all have that voice that whispers to us what we should be doing. A lot of the time that voice is guiding us do some type of difficult or uncomfortable task, than our mind makes up all the reasons why we shouldn’t do that difficult or uncomfortable task. This is the moment where we need to learn to allow discipline to win. Once you start feeling or hearing the conflict or contrast in your mind you need to know what your end goal is, your end goal should always force you to make disciplined actions. That’s how you grow. Set goals that seem just slightly out of reach and than go get them, that’s where growth starts, and discipline facilitates growth. #ironmind #trailrunning #discipline #growthmindset by @imironmind

On the road to 225 and 20 miles on the same day.

Todays plan 5x5 at 170.
I learned a lot from this. Up I untill today I I’ve had no misses on any of my lifts. Today on my 3rd set I only got 4 reps up and missed my 5th. This video is my 4th set and I got 5 reps up. My 5th set I missed the 5th rep again. So I did a 6th set with 3 reps to get the missed reps in plus one.

No excuses for these missed reps but I know the mistakes I made.
1. Technique mistakes, I try to use leg drive on my later sets when I really need it. This is the reason I missed my 5th rep on my 3rd set.
2. Weak mind, my mind was not sharp. I could hear whispers of doubt with this being the heaviest 5x5 I’ve tried, it was me vs. me when it should have been me rooting for me.
3. My second chest work out last week was a horrible work out, my focus was trash and I missed an opportunity to get stronger because of it.
Adjustments will be made, these mistakes will not be repeated.

Ps. Notice I don’t use the word failure. I use the word missed instead. The only time you fail is when you don’t try or you quit. Unless it’s some type of competition your practicing, your sharpening the blade, your strengthening the mind, your preparing for the test. Mistakes will happen while training and in life. Make the proper adjustments and keep attacking.

Isn’t life beautiful. The ups and downs. The stresses, the worries, the wins and the celebrations. It’s a fuckn rollercoaster and I think the trick is to not be stopped by any highs or lows. To embrace them and understand that life will life and you will live on. Just fuckn grab the bull by the horns and enjoy your ride. Learn the lessons your supposed to learn and keep pushing your potential. 💪🏽🖤🧘🏽‍♂️ EMBRACE PAIN. EMBRACE GROWTH. #ironmind #growthmindset #ultrarunning #hybridathlete #darknightofthesoul #peace #acceptance #life #potential by @imironmind

Make everyday count by making every move with intention. Find your main focuses and touch on them daily. It’s a slow and steady growth, almost unnoticeable till you stop to reflect and see how much you’ve grown in all these different ways. Let’s not set resolutions this year, let’s set goals. Let’s stay focused and reach every goal that we set! #ironmind #newyearsgoals #growthmindset #hybridathlete #yoga #meditation #mindfulness #2023goals #focus by @imironmind

@tailchip qualified for the Boston marathon with a 2:58:08 marathon time 2.5 years post heart surgery. This is one of the most inspiring men I know and was recently on the @passionthrupolaroids podcast talking about second chances. This is a dear friend of mine and I’m truly happy to see his success in running and his growth as a man. A true example of what happens when you embrace pain, and embrace growth. #heartsurgery #inspiration #bostonmarathon #mindset #ironmind #secondchances by @imironmind

I believe a lot of things can be achieved through running. I heard a quote once that said something along the lines of “you’ll get what ever your want out of running. If you want to loose weight, you’ll loose weight. If you want to get stronger, you’ll get stronger.”
Since I started running it’s always been about connecting with spirit and it’s never failed me.

This is my version of breath work. I always feel different internally after a hard run compared to an easy run. It’s just something about the way air moves through you, I truly believe it gets the chakras/wheels spinning.

For anyone interested here was the work out.
10min warm up.
1 mile at 6:30-6:40 4x
10min cool down.
If your running on a track always remember to switch directions half way through the work out so your not only turning one way the whole time. Certain muscles in your hips get used differently on that turn, you wanna stay balanced!

This is not a fancy work out.

This is the work out I do when I’m feeling off. It ALWAYS bring back into myself. I could be feeling slightly depressed or stressed, or even sometimes while on my spiritual journey I get caught up focusing on the spiritual side of life too much. A work out like this is guaranteed to bring me back to myself.

2 miles to the gym
No specific lifts or body parts set I just go off what I feel, medium weight, high volume. 15-20 reps 3-4 sets. I go all off feel, days like this I don’t care about results. I’m strictly looking to get a pump so I can get out of my head and into my body.
2 miles back home

It’s really more than fitness for me, it’s a relationship between mind and body. It’s understanding when you feel your body and when to ignore your body. It’s choosing when to allow your mind to control the vessel and when it’s time to understand the messages the vessel is telling you. In order to understand these messages you have to learn yourself in good times, bad times, calm times, and peaceful times. Keep grinding, stay focused, and stay grounded. 🖤💪🏽🖤💪🏽
