There’s a moment that often happens, not for everyone, but for many of us, somewhere between the fifth walk around the block and the final steps of a long run.
It’s not about pace. Or distance. Or chasing a new PB.
It’s quieter than that.
It’s the moment you realise:
“If I can do this… what else might be possible?”
That moment can sneak up on you.
You might be halfway through a muddy parkrun. Or walking the dog before work. Or out on the trails, alone with your thoughts and the sound of your breath.
You’ve been so focused on just getting out the door, putting one foot in front of the other, that you didn’t see it coming.
But suddenly, something shifts.
You stop seeing yourself the way you used to.
You feel stronger than you thought you were.
And somewhere, deep down, a question bubbles up:
What else have I been telling myself I can’t do?
From running to something more
That’s what happened to me.
Running was never about six-packs or sub-20 5Ks.
It was about proving to myself that change was possible.
Once I saw that, and I mean REALLY saw it, it became impossible to pretend otherwise.
That’s when I started asking bigger questions.
What if I didn’t have to stay stuck in work that didn’t light me up?
What if I could share my story and it actually helped someone else?
What if I could build something meaningful without selling my soul?
And eventually…
What if I could make a living by doing something I love?
The running world doesn’t talk about this bit
There’s plenty of talk about training plans, gear reviews, and race results.
But what about the internal shift?
What about the way movement cracks something open in you?
What about the possibility it unlocks?
That’s the bit I think we should talk more about.
Not everyone is trying to run faster.
Some of us are just trying to live better.
We’ve woken up to the idea that there’s more to life than the nine-to-five treadmill.
We’re starting to see that maybe—just maybe—there’s another way.
The scary bit no one tells you
Asking what else is possible? is both exciting and terrifying.
Because once you see the door… you can’t unsee it.
You start noticing how little joy your job brings.
You start imagining new paths.
You start wondering if it’s too late, or if you’ve left it too long.
Let me say this clearly:
IT IS NOT TOO LATE!
I started all of this in my forties.
No background in “influence.” No social media strategy. No idea what I was doing.
Just a story, a question, and a willingness to figure it out step by step.
This isn’t a pitch. It’s an invitation.
I’m not here to sell you a dream of overnight success or a beachside laptop hustle.
I’m here to remind you of what you already know:
You’ve already done hard things.
You’ve already proven you can change.
So what else might be possible… if you trusted yourself to try?
That’s the work we do here at The Bizzy Runner.
Not just business tips and affiliate links, but real conversations, honest reflections, and simple steps toward building something that fits the life you actually want to live.
So if movement has opened up something in you…
If you’re quietly wondering what else is possible…
Welcome.
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be!
