A little bit about me:
Hi, πββοΈ Iβm SJ your local sports massage therapist.
At the moment I am working towards the elusive 100 marathon club. Itβs both physically & mentally demanding & by far the biggest challenge Iβve ever taken on.
So far I have 69 marathons in the bag (a mix of marathons & beautiful trail ultras) & only 31 to goβ¦
Hubby says I get a present when I reach 70β¦ β€οΈ exciting!
For me this epic challenge is all about staying healthy, eating clean - lots of calories & nutrient-rich food, strength & conditioning, getting regular massages, & immersing myself on the trails as much as possible.
No matter how good my trainers are, I love to feel the earth. I love the fact that every single step on the trails will be completely different. Every single step will challenge my muscles in a different way. Every mile or two gives me another beautiful view. Nothing makes me happier than being out on the trails.
I never would have believed that I could actually run so far & so often.
It has taken a few years to build up to this level but Iβm here.
Iβm still standing, still smiling, and I know how lucky I am.
Patience, persistence, resilience & determination really pays off.
Patience & consistency is key.
I donβt know if I will get to 100 marathons this year, but I am a teeny bit confident & I will give it everything Iβve got π
I really hope you have goal or a challenge ahead of you too.
I would love to hear all about it.
Whatever hobby or pastime we choose to do in life, longevity is something we should strive for.
Live in the moment, enjoy every moment, be kind to yourself & train well; getting stronger for the rest of your life πββοΈ
