Think like an ultra-runner to overcome big challenges - my back issue management

I outline the four major changes that had the greatest impact on my back health and overall well-being: investing in a sit-stand desk, developing a simple and effective core strength training routine, using an inversion table to address alignment issues, and improving my running form. Each change was part of a larger strategy to create a sustainable, proactive approach to managing physical challenges and building resilience.

Whether you’re dealing with lower back pain, looking to improve your trail running technique, or seeking practical ways to address long-standing challenges, these insights can help you take meaningful steps forward. From gamifying workouts to focusing on consistency, the techniques I share are designed to inspire action and make positive changes accessible to everyone. Remember, the best time to start was five years ago, but the second-best time is today - so, what change will you make today?
