Sean Bell - Fastest Person to Run Around Australia

Two years ago today, the greatest Heaps Normal frothies I’ve ever had 🍻

Seeing this memory pop up on my phone today fired me up!!

It’s comeback season… and that’s the bottom line, because Sean Bell said so 🏃‍♂️🐎

For the person who stopped running because they couldn’t run all of it.

Watch this. Then get onto the trails.

Giddy up 🐎🤠

2 years ago today.

This is me taking my first steps for the day, about to run my 156th ultra marathon in a row. My body was all kinds of fu**ed up, but I didn’t care because I had a job to do and the job wasn’t finished.

Call it insanity, but obsession and passion had me running around Australia, changing hundreds of sick kids’ lives and changing my own in the process.

If you want something, go and get it. No one is coming to save you, but if you’re prepared to do the work, you have the power write your own story. Giddy up

A strong week of training as I keep building back 🏃‍♂️

Feeling awesome physically and mentally, and loving the community and the GC ☀️

It’s comeback season 💪🐎

Comeback season 🏃‍♂️ 🐎

3 weeks to go until I get my second race in for the year, with the Coastal Crunch 28K here on the GC.

It’s comeback season 🏃‍♂️

See you on the 29th Steve Jackson 🐎

It’s comeback season 🏃‍♂️

One hill I’ll die on.

Multi-day ultra running, especially FKTs, is more physical than mental.

It’s not what most people say. Yes the mental side is relentless too and will make or break you. You need to consciously choose to listen to voice two every day. But you can’t mindset your way through thousands of kilometres. Can’t think your way past damaged muscles, tendons, joints, bones, a body that isn’t ready for the load.

The mind keeps you in the fight. The body earns you the right to stay in it. And you only know how to stay in that fight because you’ve been there before, years of preparing your mind the same way you prepare your body.

Where do you sit? Mental or physical?
