Projections and Reflections Workshop
How to set your goals and have the right mindset to achieve them
Whether it’s a running/fitness/business/personal development goal … that goal that’s out there beyond your current capabilities that will require you to step up and work towards achieving – the currently ‘Impossible’ – is there to be had!
Knowing your WHY is crucial. It will get you up every day and help you take the steps towards achieving your goals. They may be huge giant leaps or little granny shuffles but each step you take is changing the impossible to I’m Possible.
We’ll work on connecting with your goals:
The Extrinsic – your inspiration
The Intrinsic – your motivation
So that when the going gets tough - let’s face it, life’s like that and it will always throw a little curve ball into the mix – you will have the mental tools and self-talk to push beyond the hurdles and keeping working towards achieving your goals.
What to expect on the day
After meting and a quick intro, we'll head out for a gentle jog, before coming back to Digme to stretch and have a few nibbles.
We'll then move on to the mental side of things and I'll get you asking yourself some questions and show you techniques to help you achieve your goals!
What you need
- your running kit
- something warm to put on after the jog (there are showers and changing facilities at Digme which can be used after the workshop)
- yourself and your crazy assed ideas!

I'm a 50-something year old woman who likes to go chasing extraordinary and encouraging others to push their own boundaries and find their own levels of extraordinary.
Since completing my first marathon at the age of 34, which was six months after the disappointment of not finishing my first attempt at a marathon, I've pushed my boundaries on what I think I can do. I’ve since ran 7 marathons in 7 days, a self-supported 5 day ultra in the Peruvian Jungle along the Amazon and in 2017, the year I turned 50, I ran 63 marathons in 63 days all across the UK.
During my 63 marathons, as well as hitting my own new levels, I was privileged to help others to run their very first marathon with me and many more to run distances they'd never reached before. I was also invited to speak at primary schools in the areas that I ran. I chatted to pupils about goals and ambitions, the benefits of being active and we then had a little runabout on the school grounds.
I love to talk about what I do and how I do it – more specifically I talk at schools, clubs and corporate events about how, as a fun-runner, I’ve gone on to complete some pretty extraordinary adventures and how they can achieve their extraordinary as well. I was a speaker on the Towpath Challenge panel at the National Running Show in 2018 and will be a main speaker at the 2019 show.
I am a published author with my first book, Chasing Extraordinary: A ‘How To’ Guide for Newbie Marathon Runners, available now and my second book, about my epic adventure running 63 marathons in 63 days, currently in progress. I will have my first article published in the September 2018 issue of Intrepid Magazine, and I also write about my adventures, in running and my life out of shorts, on Instagram and my blog.
