Living in the shadow of your former self?

11/10/2026

13 years ago to the day I gained access to the greatest boys club on the planet.

A brotherhood in which access is earned and not given.

Thrown in at the deep end and give a fast track in discipline, integrity and teamwork as well as eating fast, showering 5 times a day and making the most of weatherspoons happy hour.

The years that followed were undoubtedly my most formative years, with lessons learnt that I still draw on to this day.

I often wonder what I would be doing today had I not stepped on the train to Lympstone commando as a wet behind the ears 20 years old.

I’ll never know the answer to that but I do know I’d be half the man I am today.

500 days to go.

On 22nd February 2028, I’ll be taking on the Beyond the Ultimate Ice Ultra.

230km across the frozen wilderness of northern Sweden, self supported, in temperatures that have been known to drop to -40°C.

Quite possibly one of the stupidest things I’ve voluntarily signed myself up for 😂

Right now, I’m a long way from being ready for something like this, but that’s part of the reason I wanted to do it.

Over the next 500 days, there’s a hell of a lot of work to be done. Thousands of kilometres to run, races to complete, kit to test and plenty of lessons to learn along the way.

The goal isn’t just to finish the race. It’s to see what I’m capable of when I commit to something that genuinely scares me, demands more of me and challenges me.

500 days to build the mileage, resharpen the mindset and the resilience needed to get to that start line.

What could fat loss and toilet unblocking possibly have in common?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news…

Most people have far less muscle than they think they do!

Thats why preparation’s are underway for our photoshoot in March.

The guys are currently in a build phase, so that when they enter the fat loss phase post Christmas they’re happy with what they bring on the day to the photoshoot.
