75 HARD Day 27 | Discipline Over Motivation | Bike Ride, Guests & Staying Consistent
Welcome back to Day 27 of the 75 Hard challenge. In today’s episode I talk about adapting routines while friends are visiting onboard, completing a steady morning bike ride despite a slightly aching knee, and why discipline matters far more than motivation when life gets busy. Today’s progress included: • 48 minute bike workout • 13.5km completed • Water intake on track • Reading progress made •…
75 Hard Day 26 – Friends Arrive Tonight… But The Challenge Comes First!
Day 26 of 75 Hard and the challenge is starting to feel real now! This morning aboard Dream we completed another Couch to 10K session, followed by yoga stretching and a final run back to the boat. Little by little we’re improving, and we’re both really starting to enjoy the running now. Today we talk about: The importance of small daily gains Why discipline matters more than motivation How…
Today marks Day 25 of the 75 Hard challenge — officially one third of the way through. In this episode I talk about changing up my workout routine after digging out my old Wing Chun rattan ring from my martial arts days. What started as a backup plan turned into one of the most enjoyable workouts I’ve had in a long time. I also discuss: Why varying exercises matters Tendon and stabiliser training…
75 Hard - Day 24 and tomorrow marks ONE THIRD complete. 💪
Day 24 of 75 Hard is complete — and tomorrow marks ONE THIRD of the challenge finished. 💪 This morning’s Couch to 10K session was a tough one with aching calves from yesterday’s Iso Bow workout, but discipline got the job done once again. We even pushed out an extra half-mile run on the way back to the marina despite heavy legs. Today’s Patreon video includes: 🏃♂️ Running and mindset updates 💪…
Day 23 of the 75 Hard Challenge and the routine is now fully locked in. What started as discipline is quickly becoming habit. In this episode, I share my morning IsoBow and Bullworker X5 workout , why isometric training is more intense than it looks , and how we stayed consistent despite an early appointment. I also break down my simple daily nutrition , including a high-protein breakfast, clean…
75 Hard Day 22 and we went back to the beginning...well not quite
Day 22 of 75 Hard… and we went back to the beginning. Early alarm, wind still howling, but no excuses — we got out to the track and completed Couch to 10K Week 2 . Why start from the beginning? Because of a knee injury… and because sometimes the smartest move is to slow down to build back stronger . This journey isn’t about ego. It’s about consistency. We’re training together, building step by…
DAY 21 – 3 Weeks of 75 HARD… Here’s What’s REALLY Changing!
Day 21 of the 75 Hard Challenge and the results are starting to show—not just physically, but mentally too. In this episode, I talk about: Hitting the 3-week milestone Training twice a day and the discipline it builds Why weight loss has slowed—and why that’s actually a positive Creatine loading and muscle development Lessons from Atomic Habits Adapting workouts to stay consistent no matter what…
75 Hard - Day 20 - and today was a big reminder that mindset is EVERYTHING.
It started with good intentions… and a snooze button that turned 5 minutes into nearly two hours. But instead of letting that derail the day, I got up, got on the bike, and got it done. At first, I wasn’t feeling it at all. Legs were heavy, motivation was low—but one small change made all the difference. I switched up my route, and just like that, everything clicked. In this episode, I talk about:…
Day 19 of the 75 Hard challenge and the routine is starting to lock in. Up early again today — Jen hit the track for a run while I stayed back and pushed through a strength session using resistance bands and the iso bow… and I’ve got to say, the burn you get from it is unreal. Simple bit of kit, but it really delivers. In this episode, I talk about: Why simple training tools can outperform…
75 Hard - Day 18 Something's changed - Discipline is becoming normal
Day 18 of the 75 Hard Challenge… and something has shifted. In this episode, I talk about how discipline is starting to feel automatic. The early mornings, the workouts, the structure—it’s no longer a battle, it’s becoming part of who I am. Today started strong with progress photos, 20 pages of Atomic Habits , a full iso-bow session, and a bike ride—all done before 9:30am. That’s the power of…
75 Hard - Day 17 From Solo Grind to Inspiring Others… This Just Got REAL
Started the day the right way — progress photo done, water started, and straight out to the running track. Jen joined me this morning and we kept each other going through the session 💪 I’ve noticed I only really get going towards the end, so today I pushed harder on that last lap… and it felt great. That’s where the progress is. This afternoon it’s an isotonic workout with the iso bow (home-made…
The motivation from Day 1? Gone. The excitement? Fading. Now it’s all about discipline . Today started strong with a 13km bike ride , setting the tone early. But the real challenge isn’t physical anymore… it’s mental. This is the phase where most people start to slip—cut corners, ease off, and eventually quit. Not happening here. In today’s video, I talk about: Why Day 16 is a danger zone The…
75 Hard - Day 15 today felt like a real turning point 💪
After dealing with a recent knee issue, I made the decision to take a smarter approach to running — starting back with a Couch to 10K session to rebuild strength properly rather than going all-out too soon. What started as a steady 30-minute session quickly turned into something more… I kept going. Ran back to the marina… added a few extra laps… and ended up hitting 9KM! From injury… to progress.…
75 Hard - Day 14 didn’t exactly go to plan… but that’s where the real test begins.
Started the day strong with a bike session, getting the legs and lungs working as usual—until a puncture stopped me in my tracks. Most people would’ve called it there… but not today. Swapped straight into my running shoes and got back out for a walk/run session to finish what I started. This is what 75 HARD is really about— discipline, adaptability, and refusing to quit when things go wrong. I…
75 HARD Day 13 – Building Discipline & Momentum Day 13 of the 75 Hard challenge and the routine is starting to feel natural. After getting back on track, today was about staying consistent despite tough weather conditions. With rain setting in, the outdoor workout came early — a 13.5km bike ride — following up on yesterday’s 15km session and Bullworker workout. In this episode, I also dive into:…
75 Hard - Day 12 - That was close, I almost failed!
Day 12 of my 75 Hard journey… and this was a close one. After a strong, productive day — early workout, filming and editing, clean eating, second workout completed — everything was on track. But at 10pm, I realised I hadn’t taken my daily progress photos. That’s an instant fail. In this episode, I talk about how easy it is to slip up, not because something is difficult, but because you lose focus…
Day 11 of 75 Hard… and this is where everything starts to change. After pushing through the mental struggle on Day 10, I’m back in the zone. Energy is high, motivation is there, and more importantly — discipline is taking over. Even with a busy day filming and working on podcasts, everything just seemed to fall into place. Starting earlier made a huge difference. In this video, I share: How…
Some days you wake up motivated… and some days you really don’t. Day 10 of my 75 Hard journey was one of those tough mental battles. After a full morning of filming and editing, I found myself struggling to get that first workout in. The hardest part wasn’t the exercise — it was getting into the right mindset. But I did it anyway. In this episode, I talk about pushing through resistance, forcing…
Day 9 is complete… and the momentum is starting to build. In this episode, I break down yesterday’s training — walking and biking — and talk about what it really means to stay consistent when the initial motivation starts to fade. Every task is done, every box ticked, and I’m feeling good, focused, and fully on track. This is the stage where discipline takes over. If you’re on your own journey —…
Day 8 is where it gets real. The motivation fades. The excitement wears off. And for most people… this is where they stop. In today’s episode, we dive into the moment that separates those who start from those who finish . This isn’t about fitness—it’s about mental toughness, discipline, and learning how to keep going when every part of you wants to quit. If you’ve ever struggled to stay…
Day 7 of 75 Hard… and something shifts. The resistance is still there — but now, the routine is starting to take over. In today’s episode, I talk about what happens when you push through that first week of 75 Hard and begin to build real discipline. This isn’t about motivation anymore — it’s about doing the work, no matter what. I share my latest progress (including dropping 5kg in just one week),…
75 Hard Day 6: Pushing Through the Resistance – Why This Isn’t for Everyone Day 6 of the 75 Hard Challenge … and this is where the real battle begins. In this episode, I go beyond just ticking off the daily tasks and dive into the truth most people don’t talk about—why 75 Hard isn’t for everyone , and why so many people quit before they ever see real change. This isn’t just about workouts and…
Day 5 of my 75 Hard challenge—and something’s starting to shift. The early “let’s see how this goes” phase is gone. Now it’s becoming routine… a standard. The hesitation is disappearing, and the focus is getting sharper. In today’s episode, I talk through my morning workout (Bullworker, resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises), the plan to get the outdoor session done despite the overcast…
75 Hard - Day 4 – Discipline Is Starting to Bite (And I Love It)
In this episode, I break down yesterday’s full routine, including a tough hill-focused bike session that really pushed the lungs and legs, followed by an intense Bullworker workout combining isometric holds, resistance bands, and bodyweight training. Feeling it today… in a good way. I also dive into the importance of discipline when it comes to nutrition—clean eating all day, no shortcuts, and…
Day 3 of 75 Hard is in the books—and honestly, it’s not quite as tough as I expected… at least not yet. In this episode, I recap Day 2, where everything got ticked off the list, including two solid workouts (with a windy-paced walk to finish the day). Then it’s into Day 3 with an early start and a welcome return to the bike. Surprisingly, the routine of two workouts a day is starting to feel……
Day 2 of my 75 Hard journey is underway, and the momentum is already building. In this episode, I recap a successful Day 1 — completing both workouts (including a 45-minute walk/run), hitting my water intake, sticking to clean eating with zero cheats, taking my progress photo, and avoiding alcohol completely. I also share how Day 2 has started strong with a Kettle bell workout Plus, I talk about…
This is it. Day one. No easing in. No “I’ll start tomorrow.” Just a decision to commit—and follow through. In this first episode, I’m kicking off the 75 Hard challenge, a mental discipline programme created by Andy Frisella. It’s simple on paper… but brutal in reality. Two workouts a day (one outdoors), a strict diet, a gallon of water, reading, and a progress photo—every single day for 75 days.…
