The idea, of course, is not to convince you to drive exactly 320 km. And it certainly isn’t about driving them off the couch tomorrow. God forbid!

We mean that your possibilities are much greater than it seems. Achieving the “impossible” is quite simple — you need to want to change something.

We are getting used to being in a bubble. Live according to the usual pattern. Follow usual routes. Drive at usual speed. And don’t dream big. As the saying goes, “and so is good.”

But let’s be honest: we are often amazed at the achievements of others.
Someone ran 60 km in 4 hours — WOW⚡️ A friend swam across Gibraltar — nichosi ⚡️ one ran a 10-day Marathon des Sables in the Sahara — go nuts ⚡️ the other drove 1400 km in 42 hours — a monster ⚡️ someone made Full Ironman in 10 hours — impossible⚡️ finished TransAlp etc.

The achievers are united by a belief in achieving what others see as impossible. What is it? Unjustified courage? Stupidity? Overconfidence? Inadequate ambition? Adventurism?

Most of these people are not sports professionals. All of them are yesterday’s (or today’s) party-goers, managers, housewives and other ordinary people who “suddenly” realized that they are capable of more.

They all started from scratch and reached their own Everest. Of course it took time, but they enjoyed the process of training and achieving. Very few of them could set themselves the goal of “making a full Ironman under 10 hours” or “swimming the English Channel” at the very beginning. It would be crazy!

Training process and support by the right coach, discovery of new powers, challenging the limits and talking to other “crazys”— all this gives confidence in achieving the recently “impossible” goal!

So just make a deep breath and dive into impossible. And yes, don’t be surprised by the difference you make going forward 🚀
