A Collective Effort
Subconsciously whenever i have a good session or hit milestone or even move the needle in the right direction, my first thoughts are, we smashed it, or i say or think things like ‘we are getting closer’, ‘we smashed it’ ‘this is what we do’ (definitely my favourite one).
From every person i train and race with who push each other hit them times and finishes ‘ITS WHAT WE DO’
Im actually alone or finishing a solo run/session when im thinking, saying or writing these things and its not a we as in me and my alter ego or me and ‘that doggggg in me’ as much as id like to think thats the case. Its us, its all of us, everyone on the same mission and direction as i am.
Don’t get me wrong im aware im responsible for my own work and my own achievements and of cause i give my self praise and acknowledgement for the work that i put in but its so much more than just me.
Its a collective effort.
From my coach who sets my programmes and works around my goals in crazy schedule to make sure im moving in the right direction. So whenever i hit a personal best its ‘We did this’.
From coaches at hyrox/hybrid gyms that push us to new levels in big group sessions its ‘we’re killing this’.
From every person i train and race with who push each other hit them times and finishes ‘ITS WHAT WE DO’
From every person you meet at a run clubs, local fitness events or even through our fitness social media pages ‘this is the life we chose’
Our environment is everything and its more than the saying ‘you are the 5 people you spend your time with’ because for me that just tries to push you to be around people better than you so you can bring your own level up. This is about these big inclusive communities, yes be around and train with people better than you, but the person next to you at your level is just as important, and just by the off chance theres someone looking up to your level then its just as important to put your hand out and pull people up.
We are all in this together, to celebrate our wins together whether its a sub 20 minute 5km or your first every 5km, whether its a podium Hyrox finish or if its giving absolutely everything you have to finish the race…
Collectively we are smashing it.
