There’s something different about consistency… it shows up when it matters most.
Over the past four months, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Peter Ralph in the lead-up to this year’s Sleeping Under the Stars – Miles From Home event.
Week after week, he showed up.
No fuss. No shortcuts. Just consistent preparation.
I also had the same privilege last year, where he pushed himself to 165km.
And this year… he backed it up again.
Over 166.2kms in 24 hours.
Let that sink in.
What stood out to me wasn’t just the distance., it was how he carried himself through it all.
Always checking in on others. Always giving. Always steady.
Yes, the Movement The Movement Formulae by Cher Hetherington played a role and I’m proud to see elements of it show up when it counts but this was built on something deeper: discipline, mindset, and a genuine care for the people around him.
A massive shoutout as well to Ben McPherson, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Ralphie from 7am to 7am and got it done. That kind of shared grit is something special. As well as many others,Lucas White and Hicksie, and so many more that l can not list because my brain is tired 😬
Personally, I was proud to be there through the night supporting.
(With a very strategic 30-minute power nap at 3:30am… I’ll own that.)
And as the sun started to come up, and family, friends and even more kids began turning up and joining in… running at midnight, pushing through to 3am, and 4am onwards knocking out half marathons just to be part of it…
This is bigger than a run.
What you’ve created here Peter and Vic is something the whole community is starting to feel.
And I have no doubt this will grow.
I quietly slipped out before the finish line (partly pride, partly avoiding a very sweaty hug 😅),
but not before feeling incredibly proud to have been part of it.
You’re inspiring more people than you probably realise.
And something tells me… your mum might be hoping you don’t do it again.
But either way Your Unreal and l am only saying this once 😉
