By far the scariest decision I’ve made.

This journey has been the most rewarding chapter of my life. Honestly, trying to put the last 5 years into words without watering it down feels impossible.

What I do know is this: I’ve been surrounded by some of the best people — brilliant minds, big hearts, and humans chasing excellence every single day. To be part of that has been a privilege I’ll always carry with me.

I’ll keep this short. There’s so much more I could say, but I’ll let time tell that story as I take the next couple of months to reflect on how much I’ve grown leading up to this moment.

Here’s to growth, change, and the next chapter ✨

Best,

Week 1/17 | Graaff-Reinet 💜

Instantly fell in love with this little town. Turns out, I’m a small-town type of guy.

I love the architecture and the people, everyone was so friendly during my morning run. Greetings left, right and centre. I absolutely love greeting people, and when it’s reciprocated… 🥹😍

I really be that simple. We see each other, don’t we? We’re all just doing this life thing together. The least we can do is acknowledge one another. Kindness starts with a simple “hello”.

The streets were absolutely spotless too. It honestly felt like the entire town was out sweeping. Every few corners, someone was busy with a broom, taking pride in where they live.

9/10. The 10 is reserved for when I come back. 🫂🫶🏾

Week 1/17

9km Easy Run + Road Trip as Majita

Started the day with what was supposed to be an easy 9km, but the nostalgia of running around Northgate (The Dome) got the better of me. So an extra kilometre never hurt nobody. 👀

Just after 8am, all roads led to Graaff-Reinet, a small town in the Eastern Cape, about eight hours from Johannesburg.

With a stop in Bloemfontein for lunch and to fill up the tank, we stayed on track. Greeted by low clouds and a welcome drop in temperature, we finally rolled into this beautiful little town and made our way to The Townhouse, our first host for the trip. Magic ✨

Not long after checking in, we took a stroll through town to grab a few breakfast essentials before ending the evening at the local Spur to catch the game.

Before calling it a night, I squeezed in a bit of strength and mobility work to make sure the body was ready for the next morning’s run.

Quick breathing trick to close off Day 2.

It took me about five years of running to finally learn how to clear my nasal passages during a run. 😅

I used to be a habitual sniffer and spent most of my runs struggling to breathe. I also couldn’t understand how people were casually spitting everywhere, I genuinely thought it was disgusting - childish , I know 😂

Now?

Let’s just say… I get it. 😂

PS: Please be considerate. Always check who’s behind you, be aware of the wind direction, and make sure you’re not spraying someone else while clearing your nose or spitting.

Running etiquette still matters. 🫡

It’ll be hard until it isn’t.

Constantly reminding myself not to focus too much on the splits, but on the feeling of holding on.

The recovery between reps is doing a lot of heavy lifting. At least I’m not out here trying to be a hero. 😅😭

First Speed Session of the block: 1km Repeats

2.5km warm up (90s walking rest)

6 reps of:
• 1km at 3:35/km (3:25-3:45/km), with 90s walking rest between each rep.

2.5km cool down

Week 1/17

After a month of lifting in June, I didn’t really make a dent in my weight after all. But that’s neither here nor there.

The goal isn’t the number on the scale. It’s to be stronger, faster, fitter, and healthier by the end of this training block.

I’m excited for the second half of the year. More than anything, I’m grateful for the opportunity to finally put together a full training block and see what kind of man I become by the time I come out the other side.
