Which three people (alive or dead) would you like to run 6km with?
Nicky Hayden, 2006 MotoGP world Champion, His love of life was infectious.
Alife (my Puppy) but he gets 200m into the run then sits down and doesn't want to run any more and will make me carry him for the final 5.5km.
Everyone who holds me accountable and pushes me to be the best version of me I can be.
What does resilience mean to you?
I think you guys have hit the nail on the head, Just. Keep. Moving, and that doesn't necessarily mean running.
When you look back on the hardest moment/s in your life, is there anything you wish you could have told yourself?
There is someone out there who has been through what you are going through now and is willing to help, you just need to start talking.
Thanks, Rob!
