Slothlete

by Terry Lander

You'll be passed by people older than you. You'll be passed by people bigger than you. You'll be passed by people dressed as Peppa Pig. None of that matters. What matters is getting out there, making it regular and passing the people who didn’t make it to the start line.

Terry Lander started running so that he could complete one marathon and move on. However, as the opportunities piled up, he started to realise that his inability to achieve record times should not be a hurdle to doing what you love – or at least what you can endure.

Join him on this ten year journey through running, cycling and swimming that saw a pandemic, a world record and a medal as big as a coaster, all in the pursuit of normalising enjoyment through sport.
