I changed my mind on something relatively recently..
Fitness events.
For a long time I kept saying:
“I’m not ready.”
“I need more time.”
“I should be fitter first.”
Then I signed up anyway — Rat Race coastal marathon — with about four weeks’ notice.
And here’s the bit that surprised me most.
It wasn’t the outcome that mattered.
It wasn’t the event itself.
It was what happened after I committed.
Training suddenly had purpose.
Sessions weren’t just something I should do — they were something I was doing for a reason.
I showed up more.
I stopped overthinking.
Confidence followed the action, not the other way round.
And I see this exact pattern all the time.
Most people already know what they need to do:
move more, get stronger, look after themselves.
What’s missing isn’t knowledge — it’s something that helps them show up consistently.
That consistency is what leads to the real benefits:
• everyday tasks feeling easier
• getting up and down from the floor with more confidence
• feeling steadier and stronger
• giving bones the stimulus they need
• feeling more capable in your own body
That’s what the 28 Day Kickstart is really about. It’s not about events. Although FruciRox will help. It’s about progress.
Not being ready.
Not being perfect.
Just giving yourself a reason to turn up — and letting confidence build after.
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this is your reminder:
you don’t usually feel ready first — you feel ready after you start.
As always, your pace is the right pace.
