4/4

I’m signing up to a race.

First every month.
Later every week.

20k. 5k. 10k.
Distance doesn’t matter
Finish time doesn’t matter

It’s about FORCING myself to get up and train.

To give myself NO CHOICE

I’ll be transparent and document all my data.

Follow me on my journey from zero to ultra.

3/4

I FORCED myself to workout. Now I’m doing the same with a new challenge.

This year I set out to do something I couldn’t have imagined. Run an ultramarathon.

I do zero running. So I’m taking the same approach that got me up at 4:45am.

Except this time I’m doing it differently.

2/4

I signed up with a trainer, to FORCE the habit.

First once a week. Then twice. Then three times.

First at 7:30am.
Then 6:30am.
Now I wake up at 4:45am to train three times a week.

Not because of my strength… I had no CHOICE. If I didn’t show up I would let him down.

1/4

The endorphins offered a respite from the daily grind, where even the smallest task was a struggle.

But the truth was, I struggled for months to get up and workout. I had so many excuses. I didn’t have time.

So in 2023 I decided I wouldn’t rely on my habit. I would FORCE myself to train.
