But like the heavy snow that was coming up to your knees, you're just trying to move through it.
And so you would vary your pace based on the terrain that you're on, because obviously the Arctic, it's not roads.
You're not running on the, you know, the same piece of terrain the whole way through.
And what happened the day one is we got caught in a blizzard.
basically meant that you could see nothing so I had goggles on to protect against the snow flying into your face the temperature had dropped to minus 20 minus 30 and you're moving through this terrain and you're moving through the blizzard hoping it will pass and it's weird because you go into full fight or flight mode looking back now I'm like that's fucking crazy like when I look back on the video I've got a 12 second clip or a 15 second clip on my phone before the phone froze over
And it shows the blizzard.
And looking back, you're like, Jesus Christ, there's a very high risk that you could have died in that blizzard.
But you go into full fight or flight mode.
It's so weird what happens when you put your body and mind and physical presence into some challenge.
You just do it.
And that's one of the reasons that I love
And setting challenges for either myself and for anybody listening, I recommend doing it.
I'm not saying to run through the Arctic, but whatever challenge you set to run from five kilometers to 10 kilometers on a treadmill, to move from 100 kilo squat to 150 kilo squat or whatever tangible goal you set, it allows you to keep focus.
And when you keep focus on what it is you're trying to achieve, it makes it a lot easier to make decisions around that.
When you're in a blizzard at minus 20, minus 30, running through the Arctic, you're not thinking about anything else except for putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward.
You're not thinking about anything else other than hitting your end goal of getting home, where there's going to be a fire, hopefully, where you're going to be safe from the elements and you're going to be able to semi recover and get some food or water on or whatever it is you need for recovery.
It really keeps things simple.
And the reason I loved Marathon de Saab, running in the Sahara so much, was that long day, the 86 kilometers, which took me 24 hours, was a physical representation of how you hit any goal.
You put one foot in front of the other and you keep moving forward.
And the Arctic was the same for fucking 230 kilometers.
