      Fergus, Nick from Canada here. Former national team member in Weightlifting and Powerlifting, turned hybrid athlete and member of the Canadian Armed Forces.
      What your content, information, examples, and emphasis on mental health with community has done is nothing short of remarkable, and greatly appreciated. You show us again and again what's possible, the power of the tribe, building resilience by setting up challenges, and your vulnerabilities to help us dudes tackle our own mountains.
      Best of luck, remember your WHY's, one step at a time.

      Inspiring! I like what you said about why you are not doing hyrox and other stuff. Mainly because it does not attract you at all. Well not yet. This just goes to show that as a hybrid athlete, you get to choose whatever floats your boat. You don't have to be tied to a modality or identity. Keep pushing brother, you are elevating the fitness game in so much ways

    I’m a 55 year old mum of three who has decided to do a 50k ultra next year. I did a marathon in 2017 and various 10k’s and half marathons since then. Watching your channel has inspired me so much over the last few years and I am even going to attempt the 4x4x48 at some point. Thank you Fergus so much and good luck!

  • @justaguywithabike
    @justaguywithabike 3 месяца назад +20

    Commenting is not something I do often. Heck, this may be my first comment. But I really feel like thanking you for inspiring and sharing knowledge. I’ve been on my hybrid journey for 6 months now and I’m working towards my first 100K ultra in one month. Keep grinding and I will aswell!

  • @TheHybridCoach87
    @TheHybridCoach87 3 месяца назад +5

    Good luck, thank you for sharing your story! I attempted suicide in 2020, very similar to you, didn't leave a note or message, but I live to tell the tale, a few months after this I joined the gym, went on a journey of strength training for 18 months, before bringing running into my routine last year, last week I ran my first 60km ultra marathon, and I have a target of doing my first 100km this year, it's amazing looking back on what could have been, the gym, running, hybrid training has changed my life, and now become a part of me! Your story is inspirational!

  • @r-pupz7032
    @r-pupz7032 3 месяца назад +6

    Good luck, you've got this! Currently training for my first ultra and your videos have really helped me. 18 months ago I was 3 stone overweight, very sedentary, struggling with depression and undiagnosed ADHD, recovering from addiction, and coping with having to leave my medical career due to my mental health. I felt like I had failed at life and I hated myself.
    Running changed my life, especially taking on big, scary, exciting challenges involving a lot of hard work and a leap of faith.
    It helped me to actually care about myself, and feel proud of myself, and actually want to change. While there were many other factors in my recovery- therapy, medication, family- running is what gave me the mindset I needed to make a change and start learning to value myself. Like you said, the challenge alone isn't going to magically fix your life, but it can help you develop the tools you need. It has helped me redefine failure, and I love constantly learning and exploring the world.
    After my first ultra I'm applying for a masters course in public health. I can't imagine having the courage and ability to do that without running, consistently training, and taking on scary challenges.
    Thank you so much for sharing this, and thank you for this channel and all you do. Your words really hit home. Good luck, you've got this, you've already won 💚

    End of 2019/start of 2020 I managed to break my drug habit. It took me years to get healthy again and then I found this channel. In May, I have my first Ironman 70.3 (my first triathlon/endurance ever) and you were the one that inspired me to go for it. This video has me so pumped for that start line and whatever happens passed it. Go get'em tiger

I've got 7 months to train and it will be along the way that who I am will become stronger. Why do it? Because doing this stuff makes this housewife feel alive.

    I know it’s not really your intention, but you really do set the bar high in terms of showing what a human is capable of. And I love to see it. I hope to one day complete an Ironman because of you (just have to learn how to not drown first lol).
    Wishing you the best of luck Fergus! Can’t wait to see you on top of Ben Nevis!
