2023 → 2026102kg.30:11 - 5K.87kg.20:33 - 5K.This journey was never really about losing weight or running faster.It started with a simple thought:I wanted to be the kind of dad who could keep up with his kids.The dad who says “yes” when they want to race to the park, kick a ball around, or spend hours chasing them without needing a break.The hard part was accepting that I was going to suck at it for a while.I wasn’t fit. I wasn’t fast. Some runs were miserable. But I stopped judging myself by where I was and started judging myself by whether I was a little better than yesterday.That shift changed everything.I realised you don’t have to be good to begin. You just have to be willing to be a beginner long enough for improvement to happen.More than the weight loss or the PBs, I hope that’s what my kids learn from watching me.Not that Dad was naturally good at running. I’m still not even a good runner if you watched me. But that Dad tried something he wasn’t good at, kept showing up anyway, and got a little better over time.If they grow up believing that progress matters more than perfection, I’ll consider this journey a success. ❤️🏃‍♂️#runningjourney #transformation #progressoverperfection #fatherhood by @jackmotivate

Want to run faster, stronger and stay injury free? Start here. 👇A simple plyometric progression:⚡️ Double-leg pogos⚡️ Single-leg pogos⚡️ Single-leg plate hops⚡️ Depth drops⚡️ A-skipsPlyometrics help improve running economy, build tendon stiffness, reduce ground contact time, and develop the power you need for more efficient running.The key? Progress gradually. Master each movement before moving to the next.Strength gets you strong. Plyos teach you how to use that strength.👕 Wearing the Muscle Nation Relaxed Active Tee (Medium) and Level Up Training 4” Shorts (Medium).Use code RYDERC for 15% off your order.Save this for your next warm-up and send it to a runner who needs it. 🏃‍♂️💥#Running #RunTraining #Plyometrics #RydeRunClub #MuscleNation by @jackmotivate

You vs. you.It’s easy to compare yourself to everyone else. Their pace. Their body. Their success. Their highlight reel.But the only comparison that really matters is who you were yesterday.Lately, life has shifted my perspective.This week I put on a pair of shorts that I couldn’t fit into not that long ago. No dramatic transformation. Just small, consistent choices adding up over time. In 2 years I’ve gone from an XL to a medium. But I’m even prouder of something else.I’m trying to be more present. Less distracted. More intentional. Especially with Noah.Because one day he won’t remember my pace, my PBs, or what size shorts I wore.He’ll remember whether I was there.So these days I’m celebrating the quiet wins:🏃 Consistency over perfection.👨‍👦 Presence over productivity.💙 Progress over comparison.The goal was never to become someone else.Just to become a better version of me.#YouVsYou #ProgressNotPerfection #StayPresent #DadLife #consistency by @jackmotivate

Feeling great turning the legs over for some longer kms. Taking a break from hitting constant PBs and just going to enjoy training for a bit. #running #athlete #hybrid #runner by @jackmotivate

A lot of metrics may have changed. 96kg —> 87kg2h01m —> 1h48mBut the attitude to improve myself will always remain the same. 2 years apart between these photos, but equally proud of myself in both pictures. Very often I can get caught up in chasing the next goal and never settle and celebrate the wins when they come. So here’s to me celebrating the wins.#commitment #progress #running by @jackmotivate

I made this on a whim and now I’m genuinely hooked.I wanted something sweet.Didn’t want to blow my calories.Still needed protein.No blender.One bowl.Basic ingredients I already had.Whole bake macros:≈ 880 calories≈ 61g proteinLow fat and ridiculously filling.Ingredients:2 apples, diced1 cup high-protein Greek yoghurt1 scoop vanilla protein powder1 cup plain or self-raising flour1 tsp baking powder (skip if SR flour)1 tsp cinnamon (optional but unreal)1 tsp vanilla (optional)Pinch of saltHow I made it:Mixed yoghurt + protein powder until smooth.Stirred in the dry ingredients.Folded through the apples.Baked at 180°C (160°C fan) for 35–40 mins.This was meant to be a one-off experiment.It’s absolutely not.If you’re trying to eat better but still want dessert…#apple #yoghurt #macros #protein #dessert by @jackmotivate
