For the first time ever, World’s Toughest Mudder, will be descending on European shores, as the pinnacle of obstacle course events debuts in the UK. Coming from its usual location in the U.S., this event is not for the faint of heart. It is the most extreme, imposing, pulse-pounding, heart-stopping 24-hour obstacle course challenge on the planet. Breaking away from conventional mass participation events, Tough Mudder is the undisputed leader in extreme obstacle course races. With a host of events all over the UK for all ages over a variety of distances, nothing comes close to the World’s Toughest Mudder - an event that promises to redefine the boundaries of endurance, unleashing a challenge that will leave participants questioning and shattering their limits. Thanks to a steady growth in the Tough Mudder brand and a renewed excitement for large scale obstacle events, the bucket list challenge will be coming to Belvoir Castle, Grantham - home of the Tough Mudder Midlands https://lnkd.in/eCWGZzi2 #News

Excited to get the new season rolling and get back on the start line! After unfortunate injuries from Redlands and the termination of the NCL, I am coming back to training, building exciting new partnerships, and looking toward Unbound for my comeback race. Tackling Unbound after less than ideal prep is no doubt very intimidating. This race will require mental flexibility and holding expectations loosely. However, my story of last season is inspiring me to continue showing up and toeing the line with zero expectations except to face a mental and physical challenge and give myself an opporuntity to surprise myself. While my current preparation is far from where I'd like it to be, this is a unique opporuntity to connect with the mass participants of these off road events who may not have the support or ability for perfect preparation or a perfect bike set up. It is an opportunity to tell a story that can inspire people who may doubt themselves that they can also show up to the challenge of these events despite perceived barriers. The professionalism of gravel is exciting and I recognize I am in that group of professionals, but I am also someone who has "run what they brung" in the past and embraced the underdog mentality of gravel (dare I say the spirit of gravel). I see gravel as a physical and mental challenge that now has a competitive side that fuels exciting performances and innovation. Unbound for me will be a challenge, one that may be too big, but I am committed to showing up because if that can inspire one person to tackle a challenge in their own lives than it is worth it. 

Some of the comments about Tim Marovt and his INCREDBILE achievements both in his recovery from a spinal cord injury and in his *multiple* marathon completions are not a vibe. First and foremost, Tim is a true testament to resilience, dedication and the power of mindset - he is an inspiration. But this is where I caveat, he's not an inspiration because of his challenges, but rather in spite of his challenges. Comments like "Does anyone want to moan about how hard their day looks today? Let’s get on with it, and be thankful." Are not supportive, motivational or inspirational. They are derogatory and potentially harmful. If you have to focus on someone else's challenges or struggles to give yourself a boost, you have some work to do on yourself. When you speak about disabled people this way it invalidates their experience, their contributions, their existence even. Comments like this minimise struggles and promote toxic positivity whilst reinforcing ableism. You should be deriving inspiration from his commitment, tenacity, and unrivalled drive, not comparing abilities.

The post below about Tim really is very inspiring, what a fighter he is. You can also learn more about his story through this link: https://lnkd.in/eaj4jNHK

Mostly my posts are about my work at Mazars (Mazars in Germany) but I think it’s good to show sometimes what people are doing besides their main job. A few months ago I started with Concept Runners. An initiative for motivating people to start or keep moving, running especially. An idea originated during the covid period, when people were stuck to their homes, in need for motivation to go out. I organised challenges and started a local running community called ‘Viaanse Lopers’. Not the best name for going international, so Concept Runners was born. The essention is in the name. Creating running concepts to make run more fun, motivation to go out 💪🏻 Today I started a new challenge, the U-Bahn challenge. A very simple idea, but with good visualisation a big motivator! Those challenges can be done individually but also in groups of friends or colleagues. Do you want to motivate your employees? Let me know, we sit down and see what fits in your organisation. ‘Could we virtually run to all our locations across Germany, or maybe Europe? Which team/departmenr/location wins?’ 😏🏃🏼
