Running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours sounds simple on paper but sleep deprivation, fueling mistakes, and mental fatigue make it considerably harder in practise.

In this episode I’m joined by Katie Williams to unpack her experience taking on the 4x4x48 challenge, a brutal endurance test that became less about running fitness and more about mindset, recovery, and self-belief.

Harrison

Amateur Footballer

I’ve played football for as long as I can remember. What began as a hobby became more serious when I joined an academy at 11.

Unfortunately, I didn’t make the most of that opportunity, which dawned on me during the COVID-19 lockdown. This was when I finally committed to stepping up my training.

Just as I was getting going, I was hit with two back-to-back lateral meniscus tears, keeping me off the pitch from 2020 to 2024. It was my first long-term injury, and it took a major toll mentally, but it also taught me patience and perspective.

Now I am fully recovered and fully committed to progressing in the sport I love. Best believe I take recovery much more seriously. Through The Amateur Athlete Diaries, I will share what I’ve learned along the way and continue to learn.
