To get to the next level you gotta do shit that ma To get to the next level you gotta do shit that makes you uncomfortable. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ (I say this to myself every week or so) ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📱 Share, save and comment below if you’re feeling this and I’ll keep posting more of this! You have to make decisions that are really hard and piss people off. And you gotta become that person that you want to (or are scared of becoming).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ So again, you (aka me) aren’t ready for the next level because you aren’t there. If you were ready you’d be doing the big and little things subconsciously that the person of the next level would be doing.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This applies to endurance sports, career, relationship, finances, life, etc. It’s all the same.⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ #nextlevel #levelup #runfast #runfar #runningtips #runnersmentality #runstrong #5ktraining #10ktraining #marathontraining #halfmarathontraining #5krunner #5krace #mentaltoughness
When you randomly record a podcast with an Olympic When you randomly record a podcast with an Olympic gold medalist 🤯 🥇Huge congrats to the @ausolympicteam swim team and @cate_campbell on their work done over the last week. Glad you beat those Americans!🇺🇸 (even though I’m a citizen of both, it’s nice to see America lose every now and then 😜) 🎧 It was awesome working with you on some creative audio stuff. Your knowledge, wisdom, and expertise on melanoma and skin cancer are much needed! 🙏Thanks for your work inside and out of the pool! . . . . #tbt #throwback #australiaswims #swimming #olympicswimming #olympicswimmer #blackpeopleswim #blackmenswim #catecampbell #enduranceathlete #enduranceswimming

It makes you feel alive, it feels good, and it feels like I'm doing something." 🗣"With bodybuilding if your muscles are screaming you push through. With running you can't approach it like that." 🗣" When I picked ‘Mindfulness’ name, I wanted it to be a reminder to slow down and listen to yourself. That's the way you will get progress in running.

Fast runners should have six packs ⁠ ⁠⁠ 🙄 Fast runners should have six packs ⁠ ⁠⁠ 🙄I seriously used to think that garbage was true cuz I read somewhere that pro runners had 8% or less body fat. ⁠ Here’s a story on the complex human metabolism ⁠ I was chasing a body fat percentage cuz being 8% body fat also sounds cool (I was 9% body fat in that photo taken in 2019). I was very wrong and my body had other plans once I decided to actually get fast.⁠ ⁠ This was also before I decided to fully focus on running. Running has totally changed my metabolism (for the better?!) I used to be able to eat low calorie/carb and perform decent w- fasted workouts. Running 60miles (100km) weeks with 2-3 days of strength training doesn't allow me to stay at this low body fat percentage and perform well.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Early on last year I was experiencing headaches and general burnout. I kept saying "well I'm eating the same as when I was 9%". Little did I know the human body’s metabolism is VERY individual and as we burn more calories it does weird things like store fat, not burn it. It also makes you feel like trash when you don’t eat enough.⁠ ⁠⁠ So… recently I went to get a #Dexascan with Jordan ( @gutful_nutrition ) at @measureupdexa she kept saying "dude, you need to eat more simple carbs cuz you're burning a lot of calories“ ⁠⁠ Within 1 week I felt great and was performing great. She claims I might be at my "natural body fat percentage" of what my body can handle w- high running.⁠⁠ (thx Jordan & team!) ⁠⁠ Ironically, I'm at my highest body fat (11-12%) and even I gained 1.5kg/3lbs (muscle/fat) and I'm still running my fastest and feeling great.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This is a big smack in the face of what I thought "was fit" and not fit and that sometimes the scale and body fat percentage doesn't mean it's sustainable for the long term and your own individual objectives.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I’m glad I have this snapshot of me in 2019 but I also know that running my best and fastest is WAY cooler than being at 8% body fat. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #run #runner #runstrong #strengthtraining #8percentbodyfat #10percentbodyfat #runfast #blackmenrun #sixpack #runnersbody #runnersfood #runfuel #runtips #traininttips #5ktraining #5krunner #5krun #blacktriathlete.
The last 3 times I ran this far I broke myself 😵 🤷🏾‍♂️3 years of consistent and intentional running means I don’t break now 📝 run plan : run steady hr z2/max aerobic for most of it (4:15-4:30km pace) with a few sub threshold bursts (that’s 6:40 - 7:05 min/miles for metric illiterate) 🏃🏾‍♂️ Also - Training for a 5k and a marathon look the same in the beginning. 💪🏾 Felt strong throughout. 🍭 The random candy in the middle (I ran out of gels!) was crucial as well as multiple water breaks 📈 105km training week. Biggest week to date 💨 Now will drop volume 20% and focus on 5k specific speed work. 🏃🏾‍♂️ My aerobic base will carry me through that 😴 Onto the Recovery week! . . . . . #runsydney #halfmarathontraining #runtraining #marathontraining #5ktraining #5krun #5krunner #sydneyrunners #blackmenrun #blacktriathlete #blkrunners #stravarunner #runfast #maffetonemethod
