Hundreds of small activities eventually look like this ☝️👇

Two more RunAustralia finishers. Woohoo!

And they’ve completed it in two very different ways.

Alistair ran his. Alistair joined us through the Ultra running community and has steadfastly cracked on - weekly mileage, training runs, races, another few kilometres added.

Bit by bit, all of that running accumulated into an entire journey across Australia.

Jill hiked hers. Ohhh, we’ve loved watching Jill and her backpack make their way across the map.

She’s taken on some spectacular hikes along the way, including South to North through New Zealand and the Bibbulmun Track, Western Australia.

I’ll admit it - I’ve been well jealous of some of her footsteps.

And I know there are some brilliant stories there, so we’ll be doing our utmost to get Jill onto the CYE podcast soon.

That’s what we love about CYE.

Walk it. Jog it. Run it. Mix it up. Do it your way.

However you move under your own steam, keep going.

Because those seemingly ordinary kilometres add up.

And sometimes they add up to crossing an entire country.

Huge congratulations Alistair and Jill — RunAustralia complete.

And we’re already cheering you both along our next CYE adventure route…

We’ll be sharing more about that very soon.

Your Reason Why = Your Motivation For Doing

Not all motivation feels the same.

Sometimes it sounds like “I should…”

Sometimes it sounds like: “I get to…”

The reasons that feel more like your choice are often the ones that help you keep going.

So what’s YOUR why?

Write down your top 3 reasons for moving.

Then look at your list.

If there’s a “should” in there, ask yourself:

Is this something I genuinely want? Or does it feel like something I’m supposed to want?

Can you reframe it into a “I get to…”?

And if you can’t, is it really your reason at all?

Find the connection that feels like yours.

Let purpose pull you, not pressure push you.

If you’d like a challenge that gives you hints, tips and mindset prompts along the way, come and join our free virtual challenge.

Move your way across Australia while building the mindset practices that help you keep going.

When confidence is scarce, maybe begin with connection - and watch it grow 💗

Our fourth CYE podcast guest talked about what she has seen happen through the group she started

Women turning up unsure.
Feeling self-conscious.
Not knowing anyone.
Not really believing they belonged there yet.

And then, gradually, something shifts.

They meet people.
They come back the following week.
They make friends.
They start to feel part of something.

And somewhere in amongst all of that, confidence starts to grow.

This feels important.

Because confidence can sometimes sound like something we’re supposed to summon up before we begin.

But Lauren’s stories reminded us that it can also be built through experience - through being welcomed, supported and surrounded by people who make it easier to keep showing up.

It’s the way movement and community can change how someone sees themselves.

And maybe sometimes, when confidence feels out of reach, connection is a pretty good place to start.

To hear more about Lauren’s story - establishing Run Like A Girl, ultra running and exploring what might be possible - listen or watch Chase Your Extraordinary Podcast, Episode 4 with Lauren Gregory.

START FROM WHERE YOU ARE WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT.

My parents are both 82.

They’ll tell you they were fitter, stronger and far more active when they were younger.

That’s the example I grew up with - Movement. Energy. Outdoors. 💙

Things do look a little different nowadays - dad has heart failure, and mum had a back operation last week.

But here’s what they believe: if you don’t use it, you lose it / and movement is medicine (along with the abundance of 💊 medicine they actually take 🤪).

Bar the days in hospital or the odd rainy day (there’s been a handful on this trip) they head out for a short walk with the dogs every day. It’s a 1.2km round trip with a little - sit down and look out at the bay - in the middle.

Walking frame. Walking stick. Slow pace.

Still moving.

Dad wasn’t especially thrilled about me filming this. He sees the frame as a weakness. I protested loudly (yep, they’re also quite deaf 🤣) that I see it sooooo differently.

I see resilience. I see determination. I see adaptation. All very useful characteristics for life. And all things I have learned from them.

I see two people who know that movement still matters.

I see no shame whatsoever in adapting to what your body can do now.

Start from where you are, with what you’ve got.

Sometimes that looks very different from where you used to be.

It still counts.

And I’m soooo soooooo proud of them.

Big things rarely happen because of one massive effort.

They happen because the smaller things keep adding up.

If you want to build the belief that “I can do this,” give yourself evidence.

Keep showing up. Build it bit by bit.

A walk.
A short run.
The session you nearly didn’t do.
Starting again after a week that went completely off-plan.

Most of it probably won’t look extraordinary on its own — though sometimes the location might.

But keep stacking them, and you start going somewhere.

That’s kind of the point of CYE.

Keep moving. Keep adding. See where it takes you.

“I think it shows that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. You don’t have to be elite. You don’t have to be an elite athlete. You don’t have to be sponsored. You don’t have to be professional.”

It’s what we truly believe at Chase Your Extraordinary - and exactly why we want to share these stories.

Our Episode 3 guest, Sam Douglas epitomises that idea.

We loved hearing how Sam saw other people doing things, felt that little spark of maybe I can, and then had the curiosity to go and find out what she might be capable of when she backed herself.

No grand master plan, just curiosity, consistency, a willingness to give things a go… and one extraordinary adventure gradually leading to another.

To hear the how, what, why and where Sam chases her own extraordinary, listen to or watch Chase Your Extraordinary Podcast, Episode 3 with Sam Douglas.

The workout you actually do is better than the perfect workout you don’t.

Your walks, jogs and runs all count.
Any distance. Any speed.

You don’t need to build movement around your perfect week. Build it around the life you actually have.

Every bit of movement moves you a little further along your adventure on the CYE app.

No perfect plan required.

Just keep moving.

To start your virtual adventure, download the app and start where you are.

Episode 3 of the CYE podcast, we’re in conversation with Sam Douglas.

Sam has run every day for more than 1,650 days, climbed Kilimanjaro and crossed 209 miles of Iceland.

But what I love about Sam’s story is that none of this started with a big plan.

She hated sport.
She thought three miles was about as far as she could run.
Then she just kept going.

Some days, that means 12½ minutes.
Some days, it means doing enough to keep the promise she made to herself.
And over time, what felt possible started to change.

A 10k became a half marathon.
A run streak became 1,650+ days.
And one day, watching someone talk about crossing Iceland, Sam thought:

“That sounds like something I could do.”

209 miles later, she’d done it.

This conversation is about consistency, ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and how showing up again and again can quietly change what you believe you’re capable of.
