Last weekend Dale, Uzo
and James from Bulletproofbodies teamed up with Avalanche Endurance Events (AEE)
to provide Physiotherapy and Foot Care Support to all Endurance Athletes.
The scene is the mighty
Pen Y Fan in the Brecon Beacons and the race is the Fan Dance.
Last Summer was extremely
hot but last weekend the weather was perfect for racing up and down the hill.
At Bulletproofbodies, we are just like you.
We treat Athletes
during the day and then race ourselves at night for Exercise High Moon.

Last week Bulletproofbodies had the
absolute pleasure of meeting the legend that is David Goggins.
The interviewer started
with:
“How do we all be more like David Goggins?”
David was immediate in
his response.
“Don’t become like me,
be your own Hero!”
David wants us to use this example to achieve more.
He was "built not born" and he states that this ability to endure is within all of us.
David’s book “Can’t
Hurt Me” is amazing, but even better is the Audio book/Podcast.
David and Adam do a spectacular job in this experimental Audio Book that is read by Adam and then elaborated by both Adam and David after each chapter.
There is a challenge
for the reader after every chapter so that you can implement the lessons for yourself and then use the hashtags on social media.

What makes David
Goggins different from all the rest is his vulnerability.
It is easy to sing
when you are winning, but what if you had David’s upbringing?
This bad-ass MF tells
you what happens to him in a brutally honest and refreshingly authentic way
that could not be less Hollywood if he tried.
David’s Rules:
1.Callus your mind
2.The Accountability Mirror
3.The 40% rule
4.Remove the Governor that limits you
David Goggins is living
proof that more can be achieved through hard work and effort than any of us
ever think possible.
From Navy Seal to Ultra Endurance Athlete. He is the real deal and also one of the most inspirational people the Bulletproofbodies Team have ever met.
Two weekends ago I experienced the so called, "Runners High."
The Bulletproofbodies SF Fit Team were working at the AEE Special Forces Event in the Brecon Beacons and we got a chance to do the night march/run/Tab.
About an hour into the run I felt more alive and in tune with my body than I have for years.
It felt primal, man against mountain. We were running in a group, competing only against ourselves and the terrain. The Sunset start, the warm summer air the beautiful scenery all contributed to this feeling of euphoria.
The runner's high has
two components to it.
The physical and the
mental.
The physical results
from the release of endorphins (or does it? - see above video) and this usually occurs thirty to forty minutes
after continuous running, the mental aspect is the more elusive one aspect of
this state.
The mental phenomenon
is usually described as, "a state of euphoria and absence of the self or ego."
And yet you need to pay
attention to your breathe, the scenery, your muscles and open your mind to all
sensations as you run. If you do this the ego is eliminated at least for a while
and the runners high is then experienced.
