Reflections from Sydney.

This weekend reminded me of time, how endless it feels until it suddenly doesn’t.

I watched elites etch history. I watched thousands chase something bigger. I watched my son line up for his first 5km, filled with nerves and joy.

Our first family 5km was the highlight; because I needed the reminder to stop, breathe, and see life through my family’s eyes.

At times, the lens narrows. At times, exhaustion takes over. But if we pause and broaden the view, we see how rich these moments really are.

Every step lays the path forward.
One breath. One reflection at a time. 💙

What's one thing you've widened the lens for recently or could start to implement for instant gratitude? Comment below 🤝

Just checking back in (not that I was ever gone!)

Sometimes, growth means stepping back, rebalancing the hats we wear, and finding strength in the pause.

What’s something you’ve learnt about yourself lately?

When have you taken a step back to better yourself and those around you?

I’m writing this with a full heart and not much sleep, but more purpose than ever.

At 5:25am on Monday morning, my wife and I welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world.

Bowie Kate Smith
She arrived like the rockstar she is, strong, calm, radiant and completely a vision..

She is everything we hoped for, and more.

Now, I want to take you back for a second.
March last year, I facilitated a retreat in Bali. It was there that I took part in a one-hour somatic breathwork session. I had no idea what I was walking into. I thought I’d just breathe a bit deeper, maybe feel a little lighter, maybe shed some layers of my past-self.

But it took me somewhere else entirely.

Through sweat, tears, and some deep primal release, I landed in something bigger than myself. A vision. A purpose.

I saw the kind of father I wanted to be.
I saw the kind of coach I’m here to become.
And right there, lying in the stillness after it all, I saw her.

My daughter.
A little girl, peaceful and smiling. A sweet, angelic presence.

That moment moved me more than I can explain and if I’m being honest, it also scared me.

Because it showed me what’s possible.
And when we see that clearly, it’s easy to turn away.

We shrink. We doubt. We stay in the comfort of old patterns. We tell ourselves we’re not ready yet.

But over the last year, I kept coming back to that vision. I kept choosing it.
Not perfectly, but with more intention each time.

And now, Bowie is here.
And everything makes sense.

So why am I sharing this with you?

Because I know you’ve felt this too . The fear, the doubt, the “am I really ready for this?” feeling.
But you are ready.
Not for perfection, but for growth.

Let Bowie’s light remind you that you're on the right path. That it’s OK to take time. That what you want is already taking shape, even when you can’t fully see it yet.

Trust the process.
Lean into the vision.
You never know what’s waiting for you on the other side of discomfort.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
I’m more grounded, more clear, and more committed than ever as a coach, a father, husband and a human.

Here’s to what’s next.
Much love,

Marty

🏃In Feb this year i set out to test my breathing under stress of 5kms.

I did so breathing only through my nose 👃 and trying to keep a steady pace. It was hard, i chose to do this to test my limits, and to learn how it made me feel.

🏃by the end I felt the strongest discomfort mentally through running that I'd ever felt!😤

🏃Fast forward to more testing, prep for a Half Marathon, many lessons and learnings along the way.

✔️I completed a long tempo run of 12.5kms only breathing through my nose 👃.
✔️ i ran my PB of 54.13 in my 10km
✔️Gained buckets of data and learnings.

And the best bit, i had to tell myself to slow down!

If you struggle with breathing 😤, then I'm going to show you how to breathe better for performance 🏃

So that you don't sound or look like a dehydrated camel 🐪

Staying consistent,

It's harder for many to stay on the path and not stray away to what someone else might be doing. And if you're on the right path, your routine without reflective thought can also be forgotten.

Instead of thinking, I must be disciplined with action and consistent with routine. Think, is my routine serving me well? Do I reflect on my morning/daily achievements? Self praise and gratitude are bloody tough! It's a skill, but just like many skills, you can learn and harness its strength 💪

Happy days

Ten//
