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

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

Still one of the best things I’ve ever written so here it is again as the days tick down to #LondonMarathon Don’t get seduced by Time in the Bank….

One of the truest facts ever ❤️💙

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.

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

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.

My most favourite quote from my most favourite running book #oncearunner #milesoftrials #trialsofmiles

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.

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

Definitely my Dad 💔

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.

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.

These absolutely make my day !

Yes some betrayals break you forever. You may look ok from the outside but inside you’re never the same 💔

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

I could just watch this over and over again forever 😍

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