Today, I’m sharing a brutally honest episode from the snowy slopes of Andorra, where I’m deep into a family skiing trip and even deeper into exhaustion. It’s day 1726 of my consecutive running streak, and I’ve truly hit the wall—legs battered from skiing, energy sapped by altitude, and no option but to push through. In this episode, I get real about what it’s like to run when you’ve absolutely nothing left in the tank. I’ll give my best advice for coping (hint: slow it right down!), why it’s sometimes okay to rest, and how I juggle my mission to save children’s lives with relentless daily running—no matter how tough it gets.

In today’s episode, I dive into the world of newsjacking—a content marketing strategy that can either elevate your status as a thought leader or tarnish your reputation if handled poorly. I share my views on when newsjacking is relevant and valuable, offering advice on positioning yourself as a key voice within your industry. I also discuss when this approach veers into distasteful, classless territory—particularly when people exploit others’ misfortune for personal gain. Learn how to use newsjacking the right way, so you build rapport and credibility, and avoid the pitfalls of negativity and bad karma. If you care about making a real difference through content and want to use your platform positively, this episode is for you. Plus, hear more about the ongoing challenge of vlogging my ultimate ultramarathon to raise money for saving children's lives.

In today’s episode, I dive into the controversial topic of painkillers and exercise. As someone pushing through consecutive day 1,724 of my run vlogging ultramarathon challenge—currently at 1,500 metres elevation—I share my real-life struggles with niggling injuries and why I considered taking painkillers like ibuprofen to keep going after pulling my hamstring and straining my calf. I discuss how painkillers and anti-inflammatories can genuinely help with recovery and inflammation, but also why they might be masking vital pain signals, leading to further injury if you’re not careful. If you’ve ever wondered whether painkillers are the answer when you’re hurt or managing ongoing niggles, this one’s for you. I also talk about the importance of seeking professional advice rather than self-medicating and keeping your long-term health in mind.

In today’s episode, I take you with me on what might be the toughest run I’ve ever had to complete. Currently, on a family ski trip in Andorra, I managed a painful fall off a chairlift and suffered a nasty injury to my hamstring after a challenging day on the slopes. Despite being battered and bruised, I still laced up for my daily run—part of my ongoing barefoot ultramarathon fundraising mission.

I share the full story of negotiating icy slopes, keeping up with adrenaline-fuelled teenagers, and then grinding through a brutally hilly 7.5km run with over 200 metres of elevation. Running with an injury is daunting, and in this episode, I talk openly about the physical and mental battles, the importance of listening to your body, and why this mission to save children’s lives keeps me going.

In today’s episode, I dive into the benefits—and potential downsides—of working during weekends or unsociable hours. As someone on a mission to save children’s lives through my ultimate ultramarathon run vlogging challenge, I often have to get creative with my work schedule. I share my personal approach to finding those rare, distraction-free pockets of time, and explain how you can leverage evenings, early mornings, or even the occasional weekend to supercharge your productivity—without sacrificing your work-life balance. I’m not advocating for the infamous 5am Club (it’s never worked for me!), but using strategic sessions when others are offline has helped me get twice as much done in less time. Tune in to hear my tips, real-life examples, and why balance is still key. Have questions or thoughts? Drop me a message—I respond to everyone!
