Uncover your inner athlete!

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.. Each morning in Africa a lion awakes - it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.


No matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you had better be running!

Shoes for planet earth

In another feel good story for a Friday, I feel compelled to publicise the great work being done by my friend and fellow ultra runner Viv Kartsounis and her man Nick Drayton.

Viv is not only a great human being, but also a passionate ultra runner who has represented Australia 3 times at the 100km World Cup and also came past me in the last 8km of the 2009 Comrades to finish ahead of me. In short she is a tough runner, but also highly inspirational with loads of energy.

Like myself, Viv is passionate about improving the lives of others and whereas on here I am focusing on diet , exercise and mental tips, Viv has started up her own organisation ‘Shoes for Planet Earth’, whereby she and her team collect old running shoes to distribute to needy individuals around the world.

For many people our old runners will be the only shoes that they will ever have. Much of the work that Viv and her team do is self funded through their own money or any donations they may receive.

Please take a look at her website for more information on how you can partner up and help to improve the lives of those much less fortunate than yourself.
Keep believing – keep achieving!
