Back to basics

You can just wake up one day and decide to go on a long run:

Find friends that do this at the beach

We can tap into it at anytime

- “Who’s the God?” - “You are.”

Most people think ultras are about learning to suffer harder. They’re not. They’re about learning when to soften. When to slow down. When to stop fighting the day and start listening to it. Walking isn’t failure. It’s the moment the nervous system settles and the path opens again. Master walking, and distance stops feeling hostile and out of reach.

Spiritual quests in Egypts White Desert

Some experiences don’t shout. They whisper — and change you anyway. Four days moving through an ancient landscape. At your pace. With full support. The desert strips things back until what’s left is usable. People don’t come home talking about kilometres. They come home more grounded. That’s the point. White Desert Ultra. Last 5 spots.

It’s extremely difficult to have a shit day when you start it with the sunrise, breathwork, run, and ocean dip. Stack positive habits.

2025 was the most expansive year of my life. In January, I moved to a small beach town in Costa Rica on a complete whim and turned it into my home. I committed to posting on Instagram every single day for the first 33 days of the year, saw progress in the numbers, and more importantly experienced a profound shift in my relationship with how I was perceived by others and what I should or shouldn’t post online. In February, I travelled around Japan with my brother and parents, went skiing with two of my best mates from Australia, and experienced a completely novel culture and way of life. Presence and connection with loved ones will always come before business and digital growth. In March, I returned to Costa Rica and was invited by @paulinthejungle to live in a beautiful house in the jungle with other young entrepreneurs who became my family. Two weeks somehow turned into two months in that house. I launched The Distance Project and got 25 people in my first group coaching cohort - a huge win. Long-standing internal patterns of fear and self-judgment began to dissipate. I took a friend of mine, Josh, on his first ultramarathon - 51km with 2,500m of elevation gain - which he described as an ayahuasca trip. The furthest he’d run prior was 10km. In April, I summited Mount Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest mountain, with my mate Yostin. We climbed 2,800m and covered 21km in 5 hours and 50 minutes. Serious altitude sickness hit hard, and we were both viscerally reminded how much of a privilege it is to feel strong, fast, and capable in the mountains. On the descent, an old lower-back injury returned and put me through absolute misery. I began living off Bitcoin in my small town, paying for rent and groceries while being compensated by a handful of clients in the same currency. Organic market hauls, barefoot and shirtless gym sessions, heated ping-pong battles, morning breathwork sessions at the waterfall, family dinners, sunsets, and surfing with friends became the daily norm. Weekly ecstatic dance helped me unblock physical expression and creativity I had shut down for over a decade. (Full caption continued in the comments section below)
