Really though?

You lose control of that.

It's not like if my day is busy and I don't have time to go running that I'm going to freak out.

So if you're on a training plan and you have to miss your day.

It's kind of...

really though like so so if you're if you're on a training plan and you have to if I'm in a training plan it's a bit different I like Jake was talking about I would diarise my training plans I would get in touch with YMU I would say these runs are non-negotiable you know or like we can move them but they have to happen this day type thing I love lifting weights like I love lifting weights it's a really I lift weights three times a week at least with a friend of mine I've lifted weights with him for maybe 14 years wow his name's Sean Stafford I think you maybe know him yeah

I know Sean Steyer well I know of him yeah yeah he's a wonderful he's just like that's a good guy to lift weights with beautiful heart like lovely dude just amazing guy I love spending my three hours a week with him first thing in the morning Monday Wednesday Friday if I can if I'm able to and it really it does a lot for me that and even on like when I'm away and there's no kind of gym and like I run every day it's not quite the same like if I had to pick one I'd probably go with weights

I just feel, I don't know.

It's really, really good for my mental health.

If I go four or five days without lifting, I'm noticeably a little bit aggravated.

Jiu-jitsu is a good one as well.

I don't train anywhere near as much as I'd like to.

I used to train five times a week.

Then I got into these larger challenges and I didn't want to hurt myself before doing them.

And they take months to prepare for.

So I just stopped rolling a bit.

But there's another incredible guy with an amazing heart called Paxton Gibbons, who's a third Dan black belt under Roger Gracie.

And I roll with him and he is like a Sean.

He's just this incredible presence and person and a really amazing guy.

It's funny when you talk about this because the two things that bring you the most joy in those aren't the running, which is solo.
