Often the limits we set for ourselves were decided long before we ever tested them.

We decide we can’t do something before we’ve tried it. We decide we don’t like something before we know what it actually feels like or tastes like.

That’s a boundary built entirely out of guesswork.

Growth doesn’t come from already knowing. It comes from staying curious enough to find out - and being willing to be wrong.

The same goes for adapting to anything new in life. You can’t build it on assumptions. Try the thing. Feel the thing. That’s the only way you actually find out who you are, and what matters to you.

And you know what they say when we assume - it makes and ass out of u and me 😉

Discover the mental and physical preparation that goes into a gruelling ultramarathon and learn how we tackle our weakest points. Whether we’re working towards a new life goal or just trying to get incrementally better, it can all come down to having the right mindset.

Dan talks about the power of a precise ex*****on strategy in ultra running. Learn how to break down your race into manageable points and stay on pace for a personal best.

An endurance event like Apex Everest brings plenty of highs and lows - from 70mph winds and sideways rain to personal reminders that we’re all on this earth for a finite time.

Naomi shared a heartfelt story of her friend Lily-Mae, who lost her life alongside two other military personnel in a helicopter crash during a training exercise back in June, and was brought back to that memory as three fighter jets performed a flyby.

While the rest of the group reached for their cameras, Naomi found herself having a little cry. But talks about carrying Lily-Mae’s words with her for the rest of the event - the idea of being the woman who shows other women what they’re capable of - and what that meant in an event where the playing field between men and women is genuinely level, and comes down to nothing but mental toughness.

I always had the mnemonic of 6 P’s drilled into me when I was going through my navy diver training and it read a little like this:

Prior Preparation Prevents a P**s Poor Performance

And it’s been pretty damn helpful throughout the years. Because we all know not everything comes planned - like 17t of hardstone. Thankfully Chris’s back stood the test and showed that with the right preparation both physically and mentally nothing can stop you from reaching your goals.

Graham Keene - our inspirational speaker who also climbed Helvellyn twice with the community put a call into his wife at the summit… but the question is, did she answer? 📞

Growth doesn’t usually show up when things are comfortable.

It shows up right when things are becoming difficult or in Sandra’s situation in the middle of the night, in sideways wind and rain, legs heavy and head foggy. Every reason to stop lined up and ready.

But it’s right here, in that discomfort, that the actual lesson sits. The version of you that keeps moving when it’s genuinely hard, is just proof that this strength is already inside of you waiting to be tested.

Growth isn’t found despite the pain, most of the time it’s found because of it

48 hours. One mountain. 8,848 metres.

Helvellyn, again and again, until you’ve stacked the height of Everest. 9.2 summits, earned one at a time.

But the mountain isn’t the point.

No DNF. It doesn’t matter how many summits you get. If you start, you’re part of this.

Around 150 people. One basecamp. Two days of shared miles and shared hardship. You arrive alone. You leave with a family.

Everyone has an Everest. We come together to rise to it.
