This Friday at 8PM, the grind begins.

The 4x4x48 Challenge is not your average fitness event.
It’s 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours straight.

No matter the weather.
No matter the time of day.
No excuses.

Originally created by former Navy SEAL and endurance athlete David Goggins, this challenge is designed to test physical limits, mental resilience, and pure determination.

Running for a Bigger Reason

This isn’t just about miles, it’s about making a difference.

Myself, Lee Pettinger , Lee Farmer and Kirstie Yates are taking on this challenge to raise awareness and funds for Primal Instincts Men's Mental Health.

Men’s mental health is a cause that deserves more conversation, more support, and more action. Every mile run over those 48 hours represents strength, resilience, and standing together for those who may be struggling in silence.

Taking on the Challenge

* myself and Lee Petts will be taking on the challenge in Telford.

* Lee and his wife Kirstie will be taking it on in Weston-super-Mare.

Two locations.
One mission.
48 hours of grit.

If you see us out on the roads at strange hours, give them a cheer, a wave, or even join us for a few miles!

If you’d like to support us, please consider donating and helping raise awareness for an incredible cause.

Go to war with your mind

This weekend, Primal Instincts member Lee and his wife Kirsty will also be taking on the David Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge in Weston super Mare.

Running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours.
No proper sleep. No comfort. No excuses.

On the surface, it looks like a physical challenge.
But in truth, this challenge mirrors mental health more than most people realise.

You start strong.
You feel capable.
Then the tiredness sets in.
The doubts creep in.
Your body hurts.
Your mind starts telling you stories about quitting.

And still… you have to get up and go again.

That’s what mental health struggles are like.
They don’t hit once and disappear.
They come back. Repeatedly.
Day and night.
When you’re exhausted.
When you feel alone.
When no one else can see the battle.

Lee and Kirsty are doing this to raise awareness for men’s mental health.

This challenge represents the reality so many men live with
The fight you don’t get a break from
The weight you carry quietly
The strength it takes to keep showing up when you’re running on empty

Every 4 hours they will choose to keep going.
Just like so many men do every single day.

If this challenge makes one person feel seen
If it starts one conversation
If it helps raise funds to support others
Then every painful mile matters.

Please support, share, donate if you can.
And if you’re struggling, know this
You are not weak
You are not alone
And you do not have to carry it all by yourself

This Friday at 8pm, I start the 4x4x48 Goggins Challenge.

Twelve runs. Four miles. Every four hours. For 48 hours straight.

But this isn’t just about running.

It’s about men’s mental health. It’s about reminding ourselves that struggle isn’t weakness. That pressure, pain, and discomfort don’t break us, they build us. Too many men stay silent when things get heavy. This challenge is our way of showing that we can face hard things head on. We can sit in discomfort. We can keep moving forward.

There’s something primal about it, stripping it back to instinct. Move. Breathe. Endure. When the world goes quiet at 2am and it’s just you and the road, that’s when you meet yourself. That’s when you find out what’s really there.

This challenge will be taking place in two locations. Myself and Lee will be doing it in Telford, while Lee and his wife Kirsty will be taking it on in Weston-super-Mare. Different locations, same mission, same mindset.

This is about discipline over mood. Action over excuses. Strength over silence.

Friday 8pm, the first of twelve begins.

Let’s go.

Thank You for the Support

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Ian and Derek for their kind donation and ongoing support of Primal Instincts.

Your generosity isn’t just appreciated, it makes a real difference.

The money raised will allow us to continue supporting our local community and providing safe spaces for men to talk, connect, and realise they’re not alone.

Because that’s what this is about.

Creating environments where men can speak openly.
Where struggles aren’t judged.
Where strength is redefined as honesty and support.

With Ian’s continued help, we’ll now be able to create another dedicated safe space, and that’s a massive step forward detail will follow soon.

Big things are happening.
And it’s only possible because of people like you backing the mission.

Thank you for believing in what we’re building.

The funny thing is we stand at the front line of men’s mental health
People laugh point their fingers at some of the stuff we do but the thing is until you have gone through some hardship in your life and you realise that no one is there for you. You turn towards us for help and that’s exactly what we do. We help the working man, the common man the man who has a wife and kids at home the man who’s trying to provide for his family, the man who’s trying to keep a roof over his Family’s head.

Suicides are at their all-time highest with nearly 12 men a day taking their own life. 70% of suicides are mid aged men read this one more time and let it sink in.
There is men out there, but I have families are going through struggles
There is a men leaving kids without role models
Young boys look up to their dad’s
Young girls look at their dad‘s for protection comfort
Help us to help men within our community
