I was listening to a client tell these cool, worldly tales of his ultra races, and many marathons around the world. Hundreds of races, millions of moments he recalled with strangers at randoms moments outside of the race, within the many destinations! So cool 😎
I asked him what sparked his love of running, where did it all start.
He really fondly told me a story about meeting a guy who invited him to run through some life moments.
How that guy inspired him continuously, and his support back then, still motivates him in all areas of who he is in the world. How he acts and how he embraces life.
Then he mentioned something that spark my 👂.
He’s talking about my mate Carl. We were both shocked we had him in common. But after a moment, totally not shocked at all.
He’s a great human. Who quietly has done and continues to make changes in the wider community you may see, the little he shares !,
He works within the people & moving space 🙌🏻.
Leading from the front in life experiences, journeys and his own outstanding running achievements.
Running is his thing. But all sports are his lane. Encouraging our younger, less fortunate generations to push themselves, through barriers. And focus on sports 🫶🏻🙏🏻
His love for his immediate family somehow always extends beyond the home.
He really is a dude. 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Ps. Carl & I met years ago, I volunteered some time at his gig. On the 5th picture I was on a run with Carl. I then ran that hill and dislocated my ankle. There. Middle of nowhere. By a cliff 👌 amazing here’s to Hampshire 👍
