Speaker 1: It sounds like home to me. Hey, you know what

17
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: you just touched on Fitz, which I love. And I

18
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: was been trying to take my kids for a jog

19
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: around the block Ned because the city to surface coming

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: up it is this is where Fitsy normally makes a

21
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: city to surf and turf joke. Anyway, I've been trying

22
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: to tell them your slogan, which was really was that

23
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: on the front cover of your book as well, showing up,

24
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: showing up and then being uncomfortably uncomfor get comfortable being uncomfortable.

25
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: That's what I've been trying to teach them. It's not working.

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: Well, aren't they fine? No, well let's go.

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: I want to ask you now, because we watched you

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: last week do one hundred miles around a running track

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 3: of four hundred meter tracks, so that works out.

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: To be one hundred and sixty one kilometers.

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: But I was watching this video you also were saying, Okay,

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: I'm over the one hundred kilometer mark, which means that

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: I get a hot shower tonight, and I haven't had

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: a hot shower for six months?

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: So? Yeah, what are the other things are you doing

37
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: that in your life that are just uncomfortable for you

38
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 3: at the moment?

39
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

40
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: I think I'm just completely consumed by this record that

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: I'm attempting to break in October, so when I make

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: a decision, it's just always in my mind. So the

43
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: cold shower thing is like, unless I run one hundred

44
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: k in the day, I'm not allowed to have a

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: warm shower. And so when I do run one hundred

46
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 4: k in the day, it's like I've earned the warm

47
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: showers your reward, which is just not healthy. I don't reckon,

48
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: but it's it's such a reprieve when I run one

49
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: hundred k to day because I get to just sit

50
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: in a warm.

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Shower, especially at this time of the year.

52
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nasty Honestly, I get back from a

53
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: fifty k run and I then go, well, here comes

54
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 4: a cold shower.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: It's probably good for you.

56
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: What about your signature DISHO after one hundred k's what

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: do your eat?

58
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: It need? What's on the menu?

59
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: Honestly, like after the one hundred mile last Friday, I

60
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: burnt twelve and a half thousand calories, so kind of

61
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 4: just consuming anything and everything.

62
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: Had a sandwich and a heap of chips.

63
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: And then I had a big about a kilo of

64
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: Greek poxet yogurt, protein and chocolate and just trying to

65
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: get calories in because.

66
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: It's choky milk. Yeah, I had had.

67
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: Three of those as soon as I finish, actually had

68
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: one one hundred and forty k. It turns out you

69
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 4: can stomach it while running. Don't condone it, but some

70
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: can crack it.

71
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the goal that you've set?

72
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: Yep?

73
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: Come October and Tommy, I'd love to broadcast this show

74
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: from the track. Where are you going to be.

75
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 4: I know, we've Sidney Olympic Parks giving us the track

76
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: for the ten days. Wow, we'll have the stadium there

77
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: the end of day five. We're going to open up

78
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 4: to the public, but you can be there from day

79
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 4: one week.

80
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: It's given us the track. What did you just say,

81
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 5: They've given us the track for ten days.

82
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: Yes, I've got a thousand miles to get in ten days.

83
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'll open up to the because it's one

84
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: thing I think in the old running world is like

85
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: no one's ever had, is like people there to cheer

86
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: you on, and I think bringing them in at the

87
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: start of the second half of it is going to

88
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: be like a pretty solid move and get me home.

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: So how many hours a day will you run for?

90
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

91
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: So the first how do you pace it?

92
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

93
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: The first kind of If I can run eleven k

94
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: every hour for sixteen hours, obviously that'll get me in

95
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: sixteen hours or a bit less, you know, give me,

96
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: give me a little bit of leeway. On a good day,

97
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: which I ran on Friday was fourteen hours ten minutes.

98
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: On a bad day, it could be anywhere up to

99
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: twenty two hours just from lack of sleep. You know

100
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: breaks water, it rains like the track actually holds a

101
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: lot of moisture to change for sock six times on

102
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: the on Friday. So yeah, it's just a matter of

103
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: dealing with what happens. Just wait until it does happen

104
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: and then we deal with it then.

105
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: So for anyone else out there, if you want to get.

106
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: Involved, because he's encouraging patrons to sign up for this,

111
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

112
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: So off the back of my one, I'm kind of

113
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 4: allowing people to do their own ten day challenge. So

114
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,040

119
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: want people to realize that getting uncomfortable is a powerful

120
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: way to go about your life and it puts perspective

121
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: on things and it's not instant gratitude for instant you know,

122
