My Challenge is to Run 5km and Swim 2km EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

It pushes me out of my comfort zone, just like Nedd’s journey inspires us all to do. I'm stepping up to this challenge to not only grow personally but also to raise awareness and support for We Are Mobilise, helping those experiencing homelessness.

Day 10 🚀✅

Tuesday 29th Oct
Nedds Uncomfortable Challenge Complete ✅ 

Ten days of running 5km and swimming 2km per day. 

✅50km run. More running than I’ve ever done in consecutive days before. 

✅20km swum. 800 laps of the 25m pool. 

Going into this challenge I had no idea how I would handle the back to back run and swim sessions each day in addition to all the other classes I teach. 
However I truely shocked myself with how I was able to get through everything. I’d be lying if I said it was easy the whole way through, the last two days in particular have been an absolute grind to get through the runs, BUT, I did it. One foot in front of the other! 🚀 This has shown me that you are capable of so much more than you could ever imagine, to say I’m proud of myself is an understatement. 

Whilst the physical and mental achievement on a personal level is awesome, the real reason I was doing this was to raise money for We Are Mobilise, a charity that provides assistance to homeless people across Australia. I’m so pleased to say thanks to those who have donated so far I’ve been able to raise almost $600 🥹. I’m truely so thankful to everyone’s support, even if it was just checking in and seeing how I was travelling. 

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 10 days, it’s been a huge effort but we’ve all gotten to the end, huge pat on the back 👏🏼👏🏼. 

When I started this I thought that after the 10 days I’d probably never want to run again, however, there is so much more to come and I am excited to see what I truely can do. 

Let’s Go 🚀
