Kevin Nicola | Ultrarunner & Online coach

40 ultramarathons in 40 days around the entire 1.755km perimeter of The Netherlands.

PROJECT 40:40 = finished ✅ august 31st > october 9th

I feel proud, energetic, full of love and hungry for more.

The goal was to challenge myself, show the world what I’m capable of and spread the word that if you “ignore the noise” you can finish everything.

[IGNORE THE NOISE]

No matter how many times you fall or fail, no matter what people think of you or say about you, no matter what the voices in your head tell you. If you keep ignoring the noise, everything is possible.

I’ve had 3 big moments during this project where every step I took I was in excrusiating pain. Not because of an serious injury, but because my body didn’t agree with the effort I was putting in. I had to remind myself step by step that this is why I started this whole thing and that the pain will settle just by ignoring it.

I ignored the noise and became the first person ever to run the entire perimeter of The Netherlands.

I came out a different man, with loads of mental victories and a crazy hunger for more. But above all: I finished pain free.

I’ve quite literally travelled from mount to coast with Mount to Coast @mounttocoast. And I can’t thank them enough for being part of this amazing journey and providing me and the team with the best shoes in the game. I’ve tested the C1 & H1 to the extremes and they came out crazy strong.

Let this be my initiation into the ultra and trail world and let it be the first of many big challenges.
