Hey

Listen up, because I'm about to spill the beans on a weekend that redefined grit for me. No kidding, it was a marathon of a lesson, quite literally.

Picture this: It's an ungodly hour on a Sunday morning, the kind where the mist still clings to the pavements of London, and the Thames whispers tales of endurance.

My partner – the unstoppable force behind my newfound hiking obsession – and I laced up our most loyal hiking boots for a challenge that had us buzzing with anticipation.

We've scaled Gran Canaria's rugged peaks, meandered the Malvern Hills, and turned our beloved city into a boundless playground. But this Sunday? We were about to notch a whopping 26.8 miles to our walking belts.

Now, let me tell you, as we voyaged from Home to Richmond and back, something magical happened. I unearthed three nuggets of wisdom that I'm dying to share with you:

1️⃣ Take it one mile at a time.

Sounds simple, right? Well, when you're staring down the barrel of a 7-hour trek, it's your saving grace. With my trusty Garmin singing the song of each passing mile, the enormity of the marathon shrunk to manageable bites.

Starting a new fitness regimen? Remember this: one day, one step, one mile at a time. Your goals aren't going anywhere – but you sure are, straight towards them.

2️⃣ The right kit is a game-changer.

Here's the deal – London's chill has nothing on us. We were decked out in the kind of gear that laughs in the face of cold snaps. It's a testament to quality over quantity.

Investing in prime workout attire? Non-negotiable. There's no heroism in shivering through an adventure or sweating up a storm. Comfort is king, and it'll keep you on the path longer and happier.

3️⃣ It's all a mind game.

Picture it: 20 miles deep, the silence between us was deafening, our bodies screamed in protest, and every step was a negotiation.

But it's in those moments when the finish line seems like a mirage, that you find what you're made of. We pushed, pulled, and prodded each other towards that finish line, and oh, the glory when we crossed it!

The lesson?

Mental fortitude is your secret weapon. When the going gets tough, just keep moving. It's the only way to find out what's on the other side of your limits.

So, why am I telling you this?

Because these lessons aren't just about walking or hiking – they're metaphors for life, and especially for your fitness journey. And that's where Cycle Lean Project comes in.
