Odyssey

For me, it’s important to push life to its limits. A day wasted, is a day not lived and when you think about it, we don’t really get many days.
Life’s short.
Each day is filled with adversity and challenges, and it is easy to fall short and get overwhelmed by the day to day. I’ve been there. I’ve been beaten, I’ve been at the lowest depths, I’ve been in places that I thought I would never recover from.
But if there is one thing, I have learned from all of this. You are stronger. You are capable. And you shouldn’t let doubt and negativity stop you from achieving anything.

It’s a solemn start to a video series but it is a serious part of my motivation to push myself like I will be over the next few months. The Odyssey Project was born just under two years ago after completing my first marathon which felt nothing short of a miracle itself. My plan is to run from Land’s End to John O’ groats, or for those that don’t know, the entire length of the UK from southern most point to northern most point.
During this series, I am going to be taking you on a journey of resilience, physical endeavours, and determination to really see what I am made of and to hopefully show you that anything is possible if you want it enough.
I will be taking you through my training routines, nutrition, the highs, and lows of a project this scale, as well as a handful of smaller challenges leading up to main event itself.
In just a few months’ time, I plan to set off over the course of 4 weeks and solo run over 800 miles.
The Odyssey Project is a series about more than just running, it’s a celebration of the human potential to defy the odds, overcome my personal limitations and to embrace the journey, regardless of how daunting that might be.
