From earning his stripes to preparing for his first flight in the Seminole, Jon Marlinski is taking the next step in his journey at Skyborne. ✈️

After completing his Commercial phase, Jon reflects on the progress he’s made, the experiences that have shaped his training and the classmates who have supported him along the way.

Now, he’s heading into Multi-Engine training, wanting to share a reminder for other students during their flight training:

“Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s.”

First Backyard Ultra ✔️ 12 Yards, 50 miles, 80k ish.

First and foremost, what an incredible experience to do this event which I never would’ve dreamed of doing even last year. Never mind to do it alongside so many great people and have so much support from friends, family and the Sculpt team throughout.

Shoutout to @zone5events for putting on an incredible show with Endure the Moor.

In terms of the actual race I have mixed emotions if I’m being totally honest.

Coming from a Strength background originally I’ve never ran more than a marathon, so I’m proud to gain a distance PB and hit 50 miles which is a big milestone for me.

During the race I knew I wasn’t feeling myself from about lap 6 onwards and having Gastroenteritis all of last week I knew it was going to turn into an uphill battle. From lap 8/9 I started being sick or wretching each lap and after that my head was gone.

No excuses as you play the cards you are dealt, but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that this held me back more than my legs.

Wanted to at least get to 100km and tick that off the bucket list but under the circumstances I was actually proud of the effort for getting through 3-4 more hours feeling like that.

So proud, but not satisfied. But every outcome is a lesson to build on.

Now for the thank yous.. first of all @jc_performancecoaching for the last few months of coaching, feeling on top of the world for Budapest marathon, and pulling me round those last few laps.

A special shoutout to @mattydickinsoncoaching for crewing me, and being as enthusiastic as ever while force feeding us and watching us run round in circles.

My friends, family and the sculpt team who came down and showed their support during the race. You know who yous are. 🫶

And of course my @laurawoodsy for putting up with me these last few months for one last hurrah (or two) and supporting me every single day with the training and work load and of course sitting with me on the day weeks out from baby number two.. I love you loads x

Now time to recharge from the last few months, get ready for the real endurance challenge and add our next addition to our little team. 👼🤍

On this day in 1961, Sean Connery was announced as the first actor to play James Bond in films.

Flew in to trick or treat with this little banana best day ever ❤️

here for the boos & the booze 🕸️🍸
