IT issues preventing inquiry atm. Due to resume circa 11.45am.
In the meantime a reminder of the innocent souls murdered at the hands of an evil monster.

This is what this fight and this unending pain is all about…

That "skinny" girl lifting the bar recently gained 5lbs trying to overcome her eating disorder.
That skinny kid on the bench press is trying to get stronger because he’s tired of being bullied.
That young girl doing her workout wrong is new to the gym and struggling with addiction.
That angry buff guy just lost his job and has no idea how he’s going to provide for his family.
That "overweight" girl in tight clothes lost 30lbs and is only just starting to feel confident.
That Mom lifting 5lbs is going through postpartum depression and just making it to the gym is a huge win for her.
That guy sitting alone on the turf just lost his wife and his entire world is falling apart.
Everyone is fighting demons we know nothing about. Never judge. Be kind always. 🙏🏼❤️

Lost a legend in sport.
From his early work defining the physiology of running to his coaching book that brought easy to follow science of training to the masses, Daniels left a gigantic impact on the sport.
Jack Daniels, widely acknowledged as one of the most influential and successful running coaches and exercise scientists in the United States, died on September 12 at age 92.
According to an email from his wife, Nancy, “He died happy after watching the Green Bay Packers win last night. He tested the Packers team when he was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, and has loved the team ever since.”

Being professional is about attitude . And attitude is about learning and focussing on delivering process, not shortcuts or tricks, to achieve great goals.

Growth doesn’t come in the spotlight.
It comes on quiet mornings, when no one is watching.
When you lace up tired legs. When you show up anyway.
Sport has a funny way of teaching us the habits of character.
And those lessons?
They stick with you long after the racing ends.

I used to tell the college athletes I coached:
“This isn’t just about running. I’m preparing you for life.”
Most didn’t believe me at the time.
But a decade later, they all do now.
Because what you learn on the track shows up everywhere.
Running & Sport explains life.

You don’t have to be sick to get better. No matter how great your achievements to date, there is always something you could do better or differently to reach an even higher level tomorrow

Doing just enough might get you over the survival line but is only one step away from failure. It’s where losers live. Always pushing yourself to go beyond enough takes you to where you’ve never been before and is where winners live.

Seeing others behave dishonestly makes you more likely to be dishonest.
Seeing people behave altruistically makes you more likely to be altruistic.
Who you surround yourself with matters. Choose wisely.

Female sport exists to showcase the talents and achievements of extraordinary females, not those of ordinary males.

No amount of talent can compensate for lack of will to go the distance to achieve a worthwhile goal.

Regardless if you’re leading a sports team or corporate organization, leadership comes down to the same thing: Aligning a group of people to the vision and values, having them collaborate as a unit, and empowering them to bring their best selves.

Still one of the best things I’ve ever written so here it is again as the days tick down to #LondonMarathon

If you are to live your dreams, you must be prepared to live through some nightmares to get there.

There are a number of factors that drive achievement in any arena of life but above all is work ethic.

Drop the Ego. Find People Who Know More.
The best coaches seek out wisdom from others.
Fiercely guarding your "secrets" backfires. Coaching comes from conversation. The more smart thinkers you're talking to, the clearer your thinking will be.
