"No big challenge has ever been solved, and no lasting improvement has ever been achieved, unless people dare to try something different.”
Tim Cook
There have been many people who have defied convention throughout history. There are also countless examples of people who, by pushing accepted wisdom, trying new (and sometimes seemingly crazy) ideas or developing an approach that is very far removed from current practices, have managed to achieve extraordinary results and change the world as we know it. Often, these acts require bravery or sacrifice; sometimes they require dramatic shifts in thinking and perception.

This is true for our own approach to health and well-being. Through being open to new ideas, taking on ambitious challenges or experimenting with training, diet and recovery, we can find improvements and performance enhancements. These changes don’t need to be seismic, but when applied correctly and thoughtfully, they can help you to overcome targets that previously felt too ambitious or unachievable…

This track was released in 2022, but I only heard it for the first time recently. My interest was piqued by the title, Runnin’, which, as you can imagine, got me intrigued! It’s a pretty banging track and a good one for when you need to pound out the miles and find some of that internal determination…get runnin’!
