With the run to Canberra cancelled I decided to keep this day as the day I would put all my training to the test
Nearly two years of work but the last eight weeks are really where I’ve pushed . Working full time. Overseas travel , 3am starts
Yesterday during the run it had me reflecting what it takes to run 100km

Humility
Commitment
Determination
Consistency
Willingness to Suffer
Mental Toughness
Resilience
Patience
Being delusional
Optimism
Sacrifice
Learning to like pain
Positive internal Dialogue
Persistence
Self belief
Gratitude
Emotional control
Acceptance
Self Awareness
Working under Fatigue
Changing perspective around distance

Massive thanks to @josh_the_bon_vivants for lots of advice and encouragement

IS SUSTAINABILITY BULLSHIT??

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting to the legend @cocktailman to answer this question

This October, I’ll be running from Pisa to Florence while attempting the world’s longest cocktail boomerang on foot.

Supported by my boy @lukewookie , I’ll carry a cocktail across Tuscany from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Florence. Because apparently running that far wasn’t already a sufficiently stupid idea.

The challenge is raising money for the @slothconservation , or SloCo, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to protecting sloths and their habitats in Costa Rica.

As rainforests are cleared and fragmented, sloths are forced onto roads, into urban areas and dangerously close to power lines. SloCo works to reconnect their habitats by restoring rainforest, planting trees and building canopy bridges that allow sloths to travel above the ground. It also supports research, education and community conservation projects that help people and wildlife live alongside one another.

Sloths might move slowly, but the threats facing them are moving quickly.

Every donation will help SloCo continue this important work—and give me another reason to keep moving when carrying a cocktail across Tuscany starts feeling like the worst hospitality decision I’ve ever made.

Please donate, share the page and follow the cocktail’s unnecessarily long journey from Pisa to Florence. by @matt_whiley

I haven’t trained this hard since my cricket days.
A couple of moments came close—winter with Longy leading to preseason @leicsccc, and the lead-up to the England U19 tour of New Zealand—but this hits different. Ultra training isn’t just physical. It’s a mental game.
Here are all the things I leant training to be apart of the crew when @jermainejones_jay takes on running 670km to Canberra and back next week:
• The first 2km always sucks
• You spend a lot of time alone—get comfortable with that
•. If you want something you will make time. Your never too busy for what’s important to you
• Consistency beats big days: run often
• You can’t do shit without proper fueling
• You can’t do shit if your dehydrated
• Your mind quits before your body does
• You’re capable of more than you think
• You can still have a drink alcohol
• Sleep and recovery matter most
• Structure beats guessing
• @hoka_au Skyward X2 is the best long run shoe I’ve worn
• Km’s go way faster when you have a still calm mind
