The newsletter is changing…

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I’ve been putting out these newsletters every week for 116 weeks.

I take joy in the ideas, coming up with the things, and creating them.

But I no longer have so much fun writing them each week.

I think it’s because the real ideas have been popping up somewhere else lately.

A few weeks ago, my friend Alice and I started a podcast.

Two Average Runners.

She’s South African, and I’m Welsh.

We’re both average, non-professional runners with actual jobs and actual lives, meandering toward non-average goals in running, work, and life.

Coming together to talk about the good, bad, and ugly of the not-so-exciting journey as average runners.

And how this reflects on our professional and personal lives as high performers, beyond running.

Why the podcast

Conversations have always been where I do my best thinking.

I don’t love writing for the sake of writing.

I love the ideas.

I love the back and forth.

I love figuring something out mid-sentence and not quite knowing where it’s going to land.

The podcast gives me that excitement, and it lets me express where I do my best thinking.

In the age of AI it allows me to truly be HUMAN.

And it can effortlessly inspire the newsletters.

Even better.

So, going forward, the newsletter will come off the back of the podcast.

Something from that week’s conversation that stuck with me.

An idea or event that holds up a mirror to our work and life as high performers who struggle to sustain peak performance sometimes.

All toward becoming unfuckwithable and unstoppable.

Still yours

You’ve been reading these newsletters for a while.

Nothing about what you came for is going away.

The mindset is still here.

The goal is still here.

Huw is still here.

I’m just showing up a little differently now.

That’s the whole point, really.

We’re 2 episodes in already.

Here’s the link to our first episode.

Hey Reader, Got an interesting listeners’ question from my wife, Zoe, on this week’s pod. She used to swim a lot. She was a high school swimmer, and she played water polo. But she’s been away from it for a while. Her question was basically this: how do you get back into something when you’ve been stuck in a rut of not doing it? It feels overwhelming for her to even think about getting back in the pool. The work and the gap between where she was and where she is now just feels too big. I...

Hey Reader, About a week ago, two men ran a 26.2-mile London marathon in less than two hours. It was the first time in history that happened in an official race. Before the race, someone asked one of them, “Do you think you can break two hours?” He said yes. There wasn’t any “yeah, I think maybe if conditions are right and everything lines up” kind of thing. He believed he could do it even before he did. And the guy who came second also broke two hours in his first-ever marathon. I was...

Hey Reader, Something interesting came up on the podcast this week. We were talking about DNFs. Did Not Finish. It was in response to a listener’s question about our biggest running failures and achievements. And my co-host shared a story about pulling out of a marathon halfway. She was vomiting and retching pretty much from the start. In that moment, she had two choices. Slow down, walk, compose herself, and still cross the finish line, or quit the race entirely. In her mind, there was this...
