John Clark | Lessons learnt about resilience throughout his 48-day marathon challenge

48 marathons, in 48 days, in 48 of England’s counties. John Clark, also two times winner of Britain’s Natural Strongest Man, shares the lessons he has learned about resilience throughout his 48-day marathon challenge.

John highlights how resilience is not always just about having a “get up and go” attitude but also about learning, and recognising the things that are controllable, and the things that are not. 

Facing many obstacles throughout the 48 marathons, including injuries, fainting, fatigue, and moments of doubt, John emphasises how easy and justifiable it would have been to give up and stop. However, his resilient mindset urged him to find a strategy to prevent these challenges from occurring again, rather than finding a reason to stop. By focusing on only trying to control the controllable, John truly demonstrates what resilience is.
