The Wolf Run

This fantastic, local and well run event has been running for a few years now but I still get asked ‘What is it?’

Well… The Wolf Run is a combination of a mud run and an obstacle course event which is spread out over 10k through a series of man-made and natural obstacles located throughout the course.

At Phil Sims Personal Training we enter a team every year. The emphasis is not to charge around as fast as possible but to create a fantastic day as a team.

The Wolf Run for me is to give those a chance who have never done it before, people who have thought about it but are short of confidence or for people who want to just have fun as part of a team and enjoy the day.

Anyway, the concept behind the Wolf Run was to re-create the feeling of running in natural terrain – a wild run that allows people of all fitness levels and abilities to experience natural, raw running conditions as far as possible whilst also presenting runners with a challenging, interesting and enjoyable event.

On top of that an event to create a huge fun-factor which they have clearly surpassed.

In my opinion one of the unique characteristics with The Wolf Run is the whole camaraderie experience.

I have mentioned it before but I’ll mention it again but at Phil Sims Personal Training we are all about team work and helping each other out.

Another reason why I believe The Wolf Run is a great concept is because it gives anyone the chance to prove they have the warrior spirit inside of them.

Those attributes of the warrior are:

Courage – The ability to confront fear, uncertainty or intimidation.
Determination – A positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal.
Resilience – Your ability to get back up again after being knocked down.
Strength – We never truly know our strength until we challenge ourselves.

Now these are 4 strong attributes, when combined we can say we have that warrior spirit..

We all have the ability to bring these together but sometimes we need that extra little help.

This is where that ‘camaraderie spirit’ of The Wolf Run plays it part..

You see we all have things we are good at, right?

But equally we have things we are not so good at. This is where the team work comes into play.

Throughout The Wolf Run people are helping each other through the mud, water and sometimes challenging obstacles.

The thing here is that man (or woman of course) is not an island, when we help each other out we become far more superior and powerful..

When this happens we can truly say that the inner warrior of us truly comes out to play..

The Inner Warrior is within us all..

And this is when the ‘real you’ makes you stronger than you have ever imagined..

The Warrior in you is:

A Happier You..
A Stronger You..
A Sexier You..
A More Adventurous You..
A Fitter You..
A Healthier You..

But what do people do?

They suppress it, they muffle the callings of their Inner-Warrior by telling themselves stories like:

‘I am not good enough’
‘I don’t have the time’
‘I am not fit enough’
‘I am not strong enough’

They let people stick a finger in their face and tell us that ‘we are no good’

^^^ And we believe them

It doesn’t have to be like this you know.

The next time The Wolf Run comes around you can take your chance.

You can take that chance to let actions speak louder than words and prove to yourself that you CAN do it and that you are strong enough.

You won’t be beaten anymore because you are powerful beyond measure:

I AM POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE!

^^^ Say that back to yourself 20 times and see how you feel..

You can be unstoppable!!

..And if you need some help then you can join up with our team and we’ll help you with the bits you may struggle with.

You see it’s a team game event here at Phil Sims Personal Training.

There are no limitations here so anyone can do it!!

Tricia who is a member of PSPT has just finished her first Wolf Run at the age of 59, also Simon who is 53 who had no real running experience trained up for the event and completed it with my PSPT team.

So if you are a beginner who has been thinking about The Wolf Run then I can help you out.
