Premise
Tony is excited to be taking part in a new barefoot running challenge where he will be traversing the beautiful British countryside covering a whopping 1407km as he runs from Land’s End to John o‘Groats. A challenge like this is a test of endurance, celebrating and promoting barefoot running. It also provides an important platform to help raise awareness for sustainability, connecting with our environment and demonstrating the incredible possibilities of our human physicality.
Sponsored by Vivobarefoot, Tony will run barefoot covering approximately 30 miles a day, for 5 days each week. At the weekends Tony will be collaborating with Plogolution (https://plogolution.com/) to host a series of Plogging (picking up litter as you jog) events along his route. This will help to raise even more awareness for our environment and will clean up our natural landscapes, one piece of discarded litter at a time. These events will be widely publicised with members of the public encouraged to join at various steps. Through this collaboration, each weekend runners will be invited to join Tony on his epic journey for either 5k, 10k, half or full marathon segments.
Focusing on sustainability, plogging and of course, movement and barefoot running, Tony will provide a running update through his journey across the country. Due to the nature of the challenge, every workshop will be different. The language of the landscape drastically changes allowing for Tony to focus on different techniques and subjects.
About Tony
After twenty years of studying the modern condition and working on ways to free us from its constraints to achieve our macro state of wellbeing, Tony devised his Natural life-style philosophy as a way to recharge, reboot and re-educate on the importance of re-aligning ourselves with Nature for emotional, social, spiritual and physical health. As a Natural Lifestyle Coach (or Life-Stylist), Tony’s work and his retreats and workshops are based around the premise that if we can recognise where nature is missing from our lives we can reconnect with it and fall back in love with it, and in doing so can shake the angst-inducing monkey off our collective back.
