Our incredible Richard Gilbert is challenging himself to run a marathon, but before I tell you more. What does it mean to challenge yourself, and why should you do it? In the most basic form, a challenge is... challenging yourself to do something outside of your comfort zone. Trying or learning something new. And this [...]
Skiing is invigorating; will you be on the slopes this year? While skiing is less mainstream here in the UK and requires you to hop on a plane, which might not be something you plan to do this year, it’s an exhilarating sport. I often talk about taking a walk in Winter to feel the [...]
Running is good for the soul. It is you pounding the streets or running in the park – mind in neutral and being at one with the outside environment. Space for no thought or letting your thoughts wander. It is smiling at the couple walking their dog or waving at the children on the swings. [...]
