Imagine the solitude.
Imagine what thoughts would tease you ... torment you ... as you ran up to 70 klms per day for 576 days.
What would you learn about your body ... your physical capability and how to fuel it adequately?
What type of mindset would be necessary, to be able to cope and to handle such a massive assignment?
What would you learn from touching base with nearly every country upon the planet in slow motion?
And what if you were on track to become the fastest man to run around the globe after 150 plus days, when your stride comes to a standstill with then news, 'that your father is in his last days'. What would you do?
This is Episode 91 ... The incredible TIM FRANKLIN story!!
Please don't put Tim in the 'gifted' or 'the unusual' category ... you may even want to give him 'a weirdo' tag, but to do so would be ignorant of the potential that Tim advocates lives in YOU. We all have 'an Everest' within us. We all are capable of setting a BHAG ... A Big Hairy Audacious Goal!! And furthermore, the drive and motivation is there too depending on what you listen too !! if you listen to your intervening mind of the past, then are likely to be blocked. If you listen to Tim Franklin, then you will hear of action and strategies that will empower you to believe that YOU CAN! He is proof that you can. From a 120 kg major 'dumpling' with a diet fueled by terrible eating habits, alcohol, frequent parties and the rush and hustle of a fast corporate life as a lawyer, Tim went to become only the 8th human ever to circumnavigate the globe by foot.
The moment of change came when lawyer Tim came across a quote written by a parent that had lost their child. The quote read, “the hardest thing a parent has to do is bury their own child”. At this point, it dawned on him that his life choices were likely to give his parents that same fatal outcome. The next day, Tim laced up and ran an extremely painful 2.2km. It was the game changer! With that decision to run a slow arduous 28 minutes Tim Franklin changed his life forever. Whoever he was, was now in the process of changing. It's safe to say that Tim has virtually rewired himself from his past.
The job as a lawyer has been left behind. The task of coaching and creating running communities is his gift and his mission is to 'get the world moving'. What a remarkable transformation!
Needless to say, if you listen to this episode, you will be inspired, encouraged, given hope, educated, see new possibilities and in part, you will be given signals and signs on how to become a better version of yourself. That's guaranteed in this Episode#91 with Tim Franklin ... the man who ran around the world ... Tim Runs the World | Tim Franklin
