An extreme fitness and mindset challenge called 75 Hard is taking over social media right now. One Irish content creator became recognised for it a couple of years ago when he shared every step of the 75-day challenge online, gaining huge attention for his discipline, consistency, and commitment.   

 But now, with a bit of distance from it, Lucas Donlon has been reflecting on what that experience actually did - not just to his body, but to his mindset, his relationship with routine, and the pressure of doing something like that in public.   

 So today, we’re taking a step back from the viral posts to talk honestly about what 75 Hard was really like, what he’s learned since, and what he’d say now to anyone considering a similar challenge.
