Welcome to The Figuring It Out Podcast.
At 22, I took the plunge to go on the entrepreneurial journey and start a fitness business, 7 years later I’d been the nutritionist for 2 elite sports clubs and private coach to some of the worlds best sportsmen and women.
Now it’s my mission to show fitness coaches how you can put yourself in a league of their own, become the go to coach, and finally eliminate the self-doubt and imposter syndrome that's holding you back from building the business of your dreams.
This podcast will help you figure out how to thrive and conquer the fear that comes with the lonely entrepreneurial journey.
If fear is the only thing stopping us from achieving our dreams and we only fear what we don't understand, then the antidote to fear is knowledge. All we have to do is find out who has the knowledge that we need to conquer our fears and achieve our entrepreneurial dreams. My name is Callum Walker, and welcome to the podcast that will help you figure it out and conquer this lonely entrepreneurial journey. Huge welcome to week four of training for a marathon completely ketogenic. In this week's vlog, you're going to learn how I manage to stay ketogenic while on holiday and how you can do so also.
Callum Walker:I also experienced over the past week a real struggle with breakfast that no one ever really kind of tells you that you're going to experience. Real kind of sticking point with people doing a ketogenic diet is the side effects that come with them. I share with you exactly how you can overcome those side effects, why they happen, and also how you can just eliminate them completely. But finally, at the end of the week, I had a wedding, which is hard enough to be healthier anyway, let alone when you're ketogenic, but also complete sober. If you do like this video, please like this video.
Callum Walker:And if you wanna learn more about how you can think clearer, how you can perform better, and how you can just live a healthier and happier life, then please subscribe to the channel. Enjoy this week, week four of training for a marathon completely ketogenic, and let me know any lessons that you have in the comments below. Hey. Give it up for Callum Walker. Let's go.
Callum Walker:Hello everyone and welcome to week four of the ketogenic marathon. So we've got less than six weeks and to be honest it really hasn't been as difficult as I thought that it would be apart from this past week. And the main reason why that has been like a little bit more challenging has mainly just been because it's been a unique circumstance because we were on holiday. So we went to Lisbon for five days. Being completely ketogenic on holiday, there's a couple of challenges that kind of come with it.
Callum Walker:And I think the first almost kind of like challenge that you've got to overcome is the fact that your mind is like, you're on holiday. So there is that natural kind of temptation. Because normally, like, you know, I'm a nutritionist. I've been, you know, well, I've been a nutritionist for over ten years. And even when I've gone on holiday I've always had that like, look you're on holiday just you know, lacks a little bit.
Callum Walker:Like I never go crazy because I find that like you know when when I do just eat shit food I feel so shit anyway. So I never really go crazy but being on holiday was quite challenging in terms of the mindset and getting away from like, you know, oh, you're on holiday, just kick back, you know, eat this and this. So that was an initial challenge. But I think the first thing is almost like, why would why on earth would you be ketogenic on holiday? And I think it comes down to, like, I have quite a compelling reason to to be ketogenic.
Callum Walker:So, you know, if you yourself exploring a ketogenic diet, I think a holiday is probably one of the most challenging times to continue if you're going like purely and strictly ketogenic. And I think that there will be challenges and difficulties that come your way. But I think you really have to like stoke the flames of the reasoning as to why you're ketogenic. And I think that like for me, if I look at what made it much easier to really stay on track with my diet was the consequences of going off track. Now if I kind of look at like normally, let's say that I was in a ketogenic stint and you know I kind of like kicked myself out of ketosis because I had some pasta while I was in Italy.
Callum Walker:If you do get kicked out of ketosis normally it's really not that much of an issue. It's only really if you're like epileptic and you you require the presence of those ketones at a really high level that you really have to you know stay on track with it and being kicked out of ketosis can be a problem. But if you're just using a ketogenic diet for your general lifestyle, improving your well-being, maybe dropping some body fat like a little bowl of pasta kicking you out, you tell it's monetarily really, really isn't an issue. But I've got a bit of a unique circumstance in my opinion, which is I'm running a marathon in six weeks time. A normal marathon like I know kind of like nowadays it's like everyone's doing marathon, but still a really long way and it's a real stressor on the body.
Callum Walker:But specifically, normally people would need to eat a lot of carbohydrate to, you know, ensure that there's adequate fuel to the brain. But I'm going ketogenic where there's no carbs, which means that like I have to make sure that if I'm not giving my brain carbs that I give it the adequate amounts of ketones necessary to ensure that I don't break down. So I need to make sure that my body and my brain is properly adapted to it, which means that I kind of can't have the luxury and the flexibility of staying on track. And I think one of the biggest motivators for us to stay on track with things literally is like what are the consequences of not staying on track? So like for yourself, your own training, with your own nutrition, like even if it's something within your life when you're like, I know that I've gotta do something, but I'm almost kind of procrastinating over it.
Callum Walker:Like don't don't miss out on one of the most powerful motivators as a human being which is the fear of loss or the fear of consequences. The consequences of what happen if you don't do this thing. So if I look at the consequences of me going like, oh, I'll have a bowl of pasta, that could really, like, you know, screw up my adaptation process. And it could just be an unnecessary like, it could result in an unnecessary risk where, you know, I could I could break down, like, legit, It could happen. And you may be like, oh, it's not this serious, but like, you know, it kind of is.
Callum Walker:So I I think that like, again, if you ever kind of struggle with staying on track with something, continually like being motivated or whatever, like, look at the fear of consequences. We came back from Lisbon and there was nothing in the fridge. So I need to go and pay my £50 tax, which is almost like the tax you have to pay in The UK to leave the house. It's almost like you go to the supermarket, buy a couple of peppers and you're like £50. So I'm going to the supermarket to pay my £50 tax.
Callum Walker:By the way, if you see some laundry over there, is known as the step rule. So basically, if there's washing on the steps, it's there. It means it needs to be taken upstairs. It's 04:00. Alice has been working at the office all day and I have stepped over the washing quite a lot.
Callum Walker:She'll be back at six, which means that will be upstairs by 06:00 100% and this place will be spick and span. Anyway, coming back to what I'm gonna eat. Yeah, I don't know I just feel like, you know, I always get like so many people say ketogenic diet is not sustainable. I'm like, it's as sustainable as you make it. Like, you can make it so creative and interesting and exciting.
Callum Walker:I'm gonna have a staple of mine, a really staple, enjoyable meal for me. Why is that? It's my pesto chicken pasta bowl without the pasta. So I think one of the easiest things you can do with a ketogenic diet is basically just take all of the meals that you currently eat, the meals that you currently like, make sure there's no shit in there and just get rid of the carbs. Like, it's really that simple.
Callum Walker:So if I almost kinda look at like, if I'm eating carbohydrates, what do I normally have? I'll have like a chicken and chorizo pesto pasta bowl. So what I'll do is I'll fry the onions and the garlic in some extra virgin olive oil and butter. I'll put some chorizo in there. And then really, normally I just throw some chicken in, put some pesto in and put some pasta, and then finish that off with some cheese.
Callum Walker:Normally, I'd go with, like, a a Parmigiano Reggiano or a Pecorino Romano. But today, I think I'm gonna go with cheddar and specifically extra mature cheddar. So I'm gonna throw that in there and then top that off with some creme fraiche. Now, if I was having that same meal normally, I'd just throw some pasta in there, but I'm just gonna have that without the pasta. Now the problem you can face is that you end up kinda left with quite saucy dishes sometimes, so I just pack that out with more meat, more protein and more veggies.
Callum Walker:I'll actually put like a whole green pepper in. So it'll be very kind of veggie packed and very veggie dense. So I have like a pesto bowl, which is basically just a pesto pasta bowl without the pasta. It's half four. I'm hoping, hoping to have that cooked by half five and what I'm gonna try and do is sneak in enough time to get my yoghurt bowl in there, full fat Greek yoghurt.
Callum Walker:I mean, this was my breakfast earlier today, so yes, I am going to have yogurt twice in a day. Now, full fat stuff. Oh my god. Do you know what pisses me off so much? Seeing personal trainers and online coaches sharing that you need to have fat free yogurt.
Callum Walker:Oh my god. Nothing breaks my heart more than fat free fucking yogurt. I wanna talk about one of the biggest difficulties of being on a ketogenic diet from an athletic perspective. Yeah. So if we look at kind of how most people will go on a ketogenic diet, most of the time it is for weight loss.
Callum Walker:But in all honesty, like, I'm not interested in losing weight. Yes. I've naturally got leaner being ketogenic, but my primary focus is, you know, to be ketogenic to fuel the marathon. Yeah. Now, the biggest problem I find myself being ketogenic, but being ketogenic from an athletic perspective is actually getting enough calories in.
Callum Walker:Why is that a challenge? Well, of the main reasons why ketogenic diet is so beneficial for weight loss is the appetite suppression side of things. You find if you've ever been ketogenic or you're interested in being ketogenic, your appetite just isn't there. It's very, very bizarre like you just don't get hungry at all and that can be really beneficial if you're looking to drop body fat because naturally caloric restriction becomes really easy. So if I kind of think about all of the clients that I've worked with over the past decade, the main reason why they've had so much success with a ketogenic diet is really because they're just not hungry.
Callum Walker:I've never had to get them tracking macros, counting calories or whatever. It's just follow a simple set of rules of this is how you make up a meal when you're ketogenic and just eat until you're satisfied. Now, like I mentioned, that could be so beneficial if you're looking to lose weight. But if I'm trying to get at least 3,000 kcals in a day, I don't really want to, you know, have that as an advantage for me. It's really hard to get over 3,000 calories a day and when you're not hungry.
Callum Walker:Now another challenge I kind of face is I'm pretty like used to fasting. So you know, if I look at the main reason why I'm normally very low carb, one of the most important things when it comes to like my own nutrition, my own health and fitness is my own cognitive performance to be able to be the best entrepreneur that I can be. And a really beneficial tool for me, is intermittent fasting. Fasting is so beneficial when you're looking to optimize cognitive performance because it decreases insulin, but also it ramps up ketone production. So if you're looking to get into ketosis quickly, intermittent fasting is the fastest way to do that.
Callum Walker:Now again, like I said, for just classic sort of like lifestyle stuff, intermittent fasting is fantastic. But from an athletic point of view, it's a real challenge because I'm used to not eating. I'm used to like eating my first meal at like one, maybe 02:00. But for me to kind of get the, you know, the the calories necessary to make sure that I'm not gonna get injured, I kinda have to knock fasting on the head and that's a real challenge. So I've just gone for a little run today.
Callum Walker:You know, my expenditure is gonna be much higher than normal. So, you know, naturally, one of the challenges is I need to have like a breakfast. But I just don't don't have an appetite to eat like some yogurt, some eggs. I've kind of had to rely on smoothies. I almost kinda look at the sort of smoothies I'm having, I'm using, an unsweetened almond milk, lots of double cream to get the calories in.
Callum Walker:Fortunately, being ketogenic, you're eating a lot of very high fat foods. So, things like double cream, olive oil, butter are really, really easy ways to increase your calorie intake. So if you are looking to utilize, a ketogenic diet for athletic purposes, then again, like get those sorts of foods. So I'm gonna have to go this way because it's the sun. Get those sorts of foods into your diet.
Callum Walker:So if I must kinda look at like a you know, if I was just having a standard protein shake, you know, I'd be having like milk with some whey and that's gonna be like what? 150 maybe 200 k cals. Whereas by you know dumping a load of double cream in there, putting some peanut butter and then having half an avocado in there. You know that kind of makes it like a seven eight hundred k cal meal without it being like too much to eat, if that makes sense. That's been a way that I've been able to overcome the appetite side of things when it comes to breakfast.
Callum Walker:So yeah, we're kind of living on smoothies at the moment. You've got me while I'm actually cooking dinner. I will go through what I'm gonna be cooking in a second. But if it's a little bit dark, I'm not gonna make it any brighter. I need to keep it dark because if it's dark out there, it's dark in here.
Callum Walker:If you wanna sleep better, make sure that it is dark in your house. Why? Of the reasons, sorry I'm quite aggressive with the knife, one of the reasons you're not sleeping well is because you've got all your fucking lights on. You've got all your lights on. The problem is that when you've got the lights on when it's dark out there, the eyes pick up all of the light and go, Oh, must be daytime.
Callum Walker:So if it must be daytime, I'm going to make sure that we're nice and awake. So one of the main reasons people really struggle to get a good night's sleep is because they're not producing enough melatonin. And they're not producing enough melatonin because they're exposing themselves to too much brightness when it should be dark. Now, I've actually got a podcast episode all on how we can regulate our melatonin levels so that we can sleep better. I'm not going go into detail on that now.
Callum Walker:If you want to find out about that, just message in the comments about having access to the sleep optimisation podcast series that I've done. But I'm eating dinner and specifically I know I'm probably really late to the party in terms of the air fryer party. I genuinely can't believe I haven't had this in my life. Honestly, I think what I love about it is there's just no faff. There's just literally no faff.
Callum Walker:It's so easy. Like, I literally just like get my chicken, put it in there, put some olive oil on, some seasoning, put it on, done. And when I forget to turn the oven off, it doesn't matter because it turns the oven off. Unbelievable. And went a little bit premium.
Callum Walker:We went a little bit premium in the sense of that we went with the dual fryer. So I can actually cook my meat and my veg at the same time. And it's got this sync feature. Unbelievable. Now anyway, what am I cooking for dinner?
Callum Walker:So, me and Alice refer to this as gymnas dinner. And what is a gymnas dinner? It's literally just meat and veg. I've got nothing fancy. I've got some chicken thighs, especially like I kind of mentioned earlier, one of the main challenges with being ketogenic is getting enough calories in, especially from an athletic perspective.
Callum Walker:So, thighs over breasts. Breast tastes so much better as well. So, I'm just gonna like put some olive oil on, some seasoning. I've got some paprika, smoked paprika, some garlic granules, and what else I'm gonna put on? Just a couple of herbs as well.
Callum Walker:To make it taste even better, I'm gonna put the chorizo in with the veg. Because what will happen is as I cook the chorizo, all of the chorizo oil will like seep into all of the veg and it will almost kinda like fry in the chorizo oil and it like soaks it up. It's unbelievable. And then what I'll do, because the veg is gonna take a little bit longer than the chicken, I'll get the chicken juices, like all of the fat and instead of being healthy, which isn't fucking healthy because you're pouring away all of the high quality oils, What I'll do is I'll actually get the juices from this, so the excess olive oil and the excess fat that comes off the chicken and I'll pour it into the veg. So it's just gonna be unbelievable.
Callum Walker:And then I'll top it off with probably some feta cheese I reckon. Sprinkle some feta over, which would be beautiful. So welcome to Friday. I'm just about to go to the gym. I mean, like the weather was so nice yesterday, which really like motivated me to want to go for a run and it's it's just so British today.
Callum Walker:I don't know if you can see like through the sky, through the light here in the car but it's just really grey. So today's gonna be a gym day. When I see so many people doing a marathon it like they almost can't like fully sacrifice their whole life to do it. Now I have made the decision not to sacrifice my whole life and train like five six times a week so to speak to do this marathon because I really do love resistance exercise as well. So I wanted this to almost like complement my life as opposed to just like become my life.
Callum Walker:But I think something that's really important for me is that like again I've mentioned this throughout this this week. I'm not I'm not running for a time. I'm just running to run like the way that I see running the Paris Marathon is I'm just I don't know I'm just gonna go on a trot around Paris. How long that takes me? I genuinely don't care.
Callum Walker:For me the main interest is more being ketogenic like in because in terms of the total time I'll be ketogenic it'll be around nine weeks and it's more around showing people that you can live a ketogenic lifestyle for a longer period of time. I think one of the things that frustrates me around a ketogenic diet is that people say it's so unsustainable and you know I'm coming to almost kind of my fifth week of being ketogenic and don't get me wrong while we were in Lisbon there were times where I mean I'd have absolutely murdered some granola or murdered some sourdough bread that came with my eggs and avocado But besides just normal temptations, it's just really easy. So and I always say like a diet's just as easy as you make it. So, the main reason why I'm really kind of doing this is more around like just showing people that you can be ketogenic and also that you can exercise ketogenic. I mentioned like in week one I ran 18 kilometers completely fasted and that may not sound like a huge like big thing but I wasn't lacking in energy at any point throughout the whole time.
Callum Walker:I wasn't starving afterwards. I didn't feel battered immediately after either. One thing I wanted to kind of share with you is a really important thing that you have to do prior to exercise especially if you are ketogenic. Biggest mistake people make when they're ketogenic and it's why they feel so many rough side effects you know such as fatigue, headaches, lightheadedness, generally just feeling like crap is because when you're ketogenic the body deals with minerals very differently and specifically it deals with sodium very differently. Typically you'll find on a ketogenic diet you'll lose between two and three grams of salt a day and the biggest mistake people make is that they don't increase their salt intake when they're ketogenic which is why they can even get like symptoms like heart palpitations.
Callum Walker:So if you ever get like here something called the keto flu, it's effectively just the adaptation process and it can be remedied through salt. How can you increase your salt intake? One, eat more salt, pretty obvious, but supplement with it. So I use Element. Now this isn't an ad.
Callum Walker:I'm not sponsored by them. I mean, would like to be sponsored by them because this is quite expensive. It'd save me like 50 to £70 a month. And yes, I spend 50 to £70 a month on electrolytes. So I will take that and I did take that about half an hour prior to my training session.
Callum Walker:Now what you'll find is that first of all, it mitigates any ketogenic side effects, but also keep it really simple. Like in order for your muscles to contract, they basically like ping across a bit of salt. So it's something called like which is fancy called the sodium potassium pump. But basically when you're contracting the muscle, so let's say like I'm doing a bicep curl and I'm going like that and then when I'm relaxing the muscle what happens is it pings across some salt contracts, pings across some salt and relaxes. Now what can happen is that when you're doing exercise, you're sweating.
Callum Walker:Now what does your sweat taste like? Salt. So what you're losing out of the system? Salt. So typically you find that when people are dehydrated, when they're lacking in salt, when they're lacking in electrolytes, their ability to perform can decrease massively.
Callum Walker:Like typically you'll find, you know, a 10% reduction in power, an 8% in speed, concentration levels just like go in the toilet. So if you want a really really easy simple hack to level up your performance, just get an electrolyte in about half an hour to an hour before training. Now you don't have to go and spend a shed ton of money like I do. Alice as always is much smarter than me and she came across a brand called Pure Sport which is the exact same as this but it's half the price. So I'm on my last batch of these because I'm like well why spend £50 when I can spend £25?
Callum Walker:So yeah I just nailed one of those prior to training and that will one help from a ketogenic point of view but also help me lift stronger, bro. We got a wedding today. We've got a wedding today. Last night, we kind of had like a it's almost like a pre wedding sort of dinner. It was really lovely, actually, kind of like a family gathering.
Callum Walker:And I kind of said earlier that when you're ketogenic and you're eating out a lot, you have to of plan ahead because when your food is almost kind of out of your control, there's going to be a lot of like carby options and you can kind of end up like not with not a lot to eat. So yesterday I was fortunate. I kind knew what the menu was beforehand. There was like a Ham Hock Turan, like which was just almost kind of like, I don't know it's like just a ham. It was just kind of like, I don't know I can't really kind of articulate what it was.
Callum Walker:And then there was a chicken breast and like there was a couple of veggies but it wasn't really kind of like a full on substantial meal for me. Unfortunately, knew that it was going to be like a little bit of an issue from a food point of view. Alice got me a packet of pork puffs. So if you are ketogenic, one of the big things that you really miss out on is the crunch. They're almost like ketogenic quavers.
Callum Walker:So I was driving down here, I had a bag of those which is really nice. The only thing is if you are going to eat them, you've got to drink a lot of water because you get like really like dry stuffy throat. And then also in terms of service stations, it's actually really good because there's this thing called chicken on a stick. Now it doesn't sound particularly exciting and enthralling but chicken on a stick is almost like you've got like a chicken thigh kebab which is pre cooked and you can get them in service stations now. So instead of having like the dry packets of chicken, it's actually really quite moist.
Callum Walker:So, so yeah, so I was quite fortunate that like, know, ahead of the meal, just to make sure like I wasn't going to be super hungry afterwards. Like I just ate before. I already knew what I was going to eat. But yeah, like this morning, what time is it now? It's like what?
Callum Walker:Just half ten. I think the wedding like starts at half two. So we've got like a four hour period. And where we're staying, there's a sauna, there's a spa and a gym. So me and my brother are rooming with each other.
Callum Walker:We've got to go to the shop because I didn't realize there was going to be a pool and I haven't got any shorts. So I've got to go to the shop to go and get some shorts because then we can have a swim. We just had breakfast and again, breakfast, like in terms of kind of like when you're eating out, breakfast is one of the easiest things, especially in The UK because like a full English breakfast is basically ketogenic just without the beans, hash browns and toast. So like this morning I just had like some high quality sausages they were really nice, some bacon, some eggs and tomato so that was like that was really quite easy. Yeah so we'll kind of like head to the gym for like half eleven.
Callum Walker:No idea what the quality of the gym is going to be like. So, you know, we'll just almost kind of take whatever session it's going to be. And then to be honest, it's just going be a little bit of bro time in the pool, in the sauna, which will be lovely. Now the other thing is that I don't know if you find this with weddings. So it's like a 02:33 o'clock ceremony and then there's like there's always kind of that like that period in between where there's a lot kind of standing around.
Callum Walker:Then you kind of find that you won't eat until like five, six, maybe 07:00. So I'm going to make sure beforehand that I can just get some food in. I'm going to go to the shop or like to get some shorts now, but then I'll just get like a couple of snacks. But more importantly, electrolytes are going to be with me just to kind of keep the appetite down. Again, like a key thing when you are ketogenic that people do mistake is that sometimes it's difficult to determine whether you're genuinely hungry or you're just dehydrated and craving salt.
Callum Walker:So here he is. This is my bro. During COVID, I had a real meltdown. So basically like my whole business as a nutritionist was in person coaching people face to face. And also all of my marketing and sales was all face to face.
Callum Walker:I used to grow my business through networking. Basically, what happened was when lockdown happened and they had this announcement where they basically said that there's going be like the majority of businesses cannot like work in person. Like my I lost like 75% of my client base like overnight and I had a full on meltdown at the night. Around that time, I got like a gig. It was the first time I'd properly gone online for this charity which was kind of helping the community eat better.
Callum Walker:We just did loads of cooking demonstrations and it kind of started off like I'd never done any of these sorts of things beforehand. But like it started off like I was just making a load of meals and Luca was my cameraman. Yeah, like, you know, it was being streamed to like loads of Facebook groups. It was like thousands of people watching And we had a little like kind of cooking show, didn't we? So maybe we're gonna have to bring that back at another point.
Callum Walker:Hello everyone and welcome back. We're on the final day of week four. When I started training for this, I had a lot of people say like, oh, what time are you aiming for? What time do you wanna hit? And a lot of them were very surprised when I said like, I'm not interested in a time at all.
Callum Walker:I'm like what do you mean? And I was like I'm going for personal best. And I'm like yeah what time? And I was like well my current personal best is a half marathon. So my personal best I'm going for is a marathon.
Callum Walker:I've never ran a marathon before. So I'm going after a personal best, which is to finish it. And and I think it's really important because if I was going for a time, I'd be measuring myself against other people. If I was like, right, I wanna hit a sub four hour marathon, I'm measuring myself against people who run sub four hour marathons. Whereas I think for us, the most important thing we can ever do is measure ourselves against ourselves.
Callum Walker:You know, one of my favorite books is the gap in the game by Dan Sullivan and doctor Benjamin Hardy and they talk about this. They say there's two types of individual in the world, two types of entrepreneur. Let's say that both entrepreneurs start with zero customers in their business. And let's say they have a goal of getting to 30. Both entrepreneurs find themselves at the same stage in their career at 20 customers.
Callum Walker:One entrepreneur sees themselves as minus 10 because they're at 20 but they're 10 customers away from 30. Whereas the other entrepreneur is still at 20 customers but they see themselves at plus 20. Who do you think it is that's the happiest out of the two? Do you think it's the entrepreneur who sees themselves at plus 20 or the entrepreneur who sees themselves at negative 10 despite being in the exact same situation? Now what's the difference between the two?
Callum Walker:The difference between the two is that one is measuring themselves against where they're not, but the other is measuring themselves against where they were. So if I look at myself in terms of my marathon, this whole marathon is a reflection of my own entrepreneurial journey. My entrepreneurial journey has been being very low carb and ketogenic and doing things that many people say can't be done, which is why I'm doing it ketogenic. Also, being an entrepreneur for myself, I found myself in what they refer to as the gap. You need to go and read that book if you hadn't.
Callum Walker:You know, seeing myself against where I'm not, where I should be, where everyone else is, which is why I'm going after a personal best here. And that personal best is simply to finish. But more importantly as well, I'm, I'm doing a strategy that I learned from Jesse Itzler and he learned it from another guy. So I'm not taking any claim for this, But it's called the run walk strategy. Not very complicated.
Callum Walker:You run and you walk. He will not run at any one time for longer than seven minutes. So that's what I'm doing. I'm running for typically like a kilometer and then I'll walk for thirty seconds to a minute. So I'm typically almost kind of running for like five or six minutes and then walking for about a minute.
Callum Walker:And it's amazing like I've really kind of found such a less stress on my body, but then also like I end up kind of running faster. You're almost kind of giving yourself that recovery period in between and you're able to then sprint, well not sprint, but run faster. So the time almost kinda takes care of itself, but there's also kinda like a less of a strain on the body, which is really interesting. So yeah. Now the other thing is that I guarantee I think I said this on one of my videos the other day.
Callum Walker:I guarantee I'll have a lot of people who'd be like, don't give up. Don't give up. And I'm like, no. This is part of my strategy. I'm walking.
Callum Walker:Now again, like, why am I doing that? Well, within life, I'm running a business. There's a time to run. There's a time to walk. And there's also a time to put your feet up, have a cup of tea, and just look at the view of the mountain that you've just climbed.
Callum Walker:So and I think that that's just a really kinda nice metaphor for, you know, how I'm, you know, really actively trying to live my life at the moment when there's a time to run. When you got juice in the tank, fucking send it, man. Send it and go. But also, there's a time to just kinda like walk, look around and admire the view. And there's also a time to just pull back, stop, and go, okay, right.
