I Ran 58 Marathons in 58 Days — Here’s What It Taught Me About Growth, Grit & Letting Go
I Did It. But I’m Not Done.
““Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” ”
I went from the guy planning to run 58 marathons in 58 days across all 50 states of the U.S. and all 8 states and territories of Australia…
To the guy who actually did it.
That’s 2,447.6km.
58 different towns.
58 new start lines.
Zero missed days.
Every single morning I woke up, I had to find the will to lace up and run another 42.2km. Some days, my legs begged me to stop. Other days, my mind did. But I kept going.
Because it wasn’t just about finishing a challenge.
It was about proving something—to myself, and to everyone watching:
That we’re capable of more than we think.

The journey taught me countless lessons. But one stood out more than the rest:
Don’t hang your hat on what you did.
It’s easy to cling to our past wins like a safety blanket.
To define ourselves by what we’ve already achieved.
But living in the past robs us of the present.
And the present is where we create what’s next.
I’m proud of what I’ve done.
Grateful for the memories.
Changed by the process.
But I’m not done.
I’ve got a business to grow.
Men to help.
IVF with my wife.
A European tour on the horizon.
And a life that’s just getting started.
If you followed along on social media — thank you.
Your support helped push me through the toughest days.
Now, I’m inviting you behind the scenes.
Every week, I’ll be sharing the real lessons from the 58 — the mental shifts, the painful truths, the wins that never made the highlight reel.
No fluff. Just raw, practical insight you can apply in your own life.
Because this isn’t just my story.
It’s a reminder for you too:
You are capable of more than you think.
And it’s time to prove it.
