You get ONE life, if you LIVE it right, ONE is ENOUGH! ... If you need some inspiration Legends, this is me at 53 completing the toughest footrace on the planet, the 250km Marathon des Sables across the Sahara Desert, in FIFTY-THREE degree heat. BUT what you don't see behind the always upbeat smile and the glitzy finishers medal is a forty-four-year battle with addiction and a ruptured L5 disc in my spine, which left me with only ten weeks to train when most competitors take two-to-five years. Add to that a stomach bug throughout race week, chronic fatigue and heat exhaustion, lack of sleep, sandstorms, nausea, cramp and blisters - yet I won't ever complain. Despite the hand I was dealt and a lifetime of challenges, I've achieved all my dreams and goals. You can too - so what's holding you back?

How To Row An Ocean & Be A MASSIVE Legend
When I ran the length of the UK carrying a 15kg bergen, I did no training at all because I'd been disabled for 18 months awaiting spinal surgery for a prolapsed disc. I still averaged an ultramarathon a day for 36 days with a huge smile on my face. When I ran the infamous Marathon des Sables across the Sahara (which many people train for years for), I trained for 13 weeks after an 18-month layoff due to personal issues. I ran two 6-milers, about ten 3-milers and a couple of 1-milers. I tried to run 17-miles but sacked it off due to the weather. This didn't stop me completing the MDS by jogging/walking up to two marathons a day in 52 degrees heat - some people that trained like maniacs gave up on the first day and a third of the competitors dropped out.
Before I crossed the Atlantic, I rowed a mile - three times - on the rowing machine in the gym ... before kicking that into touch for being boring.
What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to be ...
Hello Legends ... I have some exciting news coming soon re. our successful Atlantic row - I'll also get some photos and vids sorted - in the meantime let's focus on the import things in life. Here's some ideas in a rough order I employ:
1) Spirit first, ego last
2) Self care - diet, sobriety or moderation, mindfulness, taking ACTION!
3) Family
4) Relationships
5) Environment balance - work, nature, activities, etc
6) Turn EVERY negative into a POSITIVE!
7) Be in Service to others
Hope it helps - don't forget that fiver for others!
Big love
Chris
