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!

Daring to dream


Yesterday the world witnessed a moment in history that is unlikely to be repeated for some time to come. I refer of course to Austrian Felix Baumgartner’s leap from the edge of space. Now this has nothing to do with running, but everything to do with the power of fitness, self belief and not giving up on your goals in life. This man is supremely fit and dedicated 7 years of his life to being ready for that one day.

For those that are too young to have seen Armstrong’s walk on the moon, a new adventurer arose yesterday. One for a new generation to emulate.

Strange how in eras of uncertainly and turmoil like things were in the 1960s when the old record was set by General Joseph Kittinger there is a thirst for exploration and interest in activities like distance running where the body is pushed to the limit. Personally I think that such exploits are great. The world has not seen something like this in years and perhaps it may create interest in further exploration and a rediscovery of interest in space and conquering goals that are out there. Some merely for the sake of that they are there to conquer.

Running together (while conquering big goals and keeping fit), stride for stride on a life changing ride!-- Sean Muller.
