Moments from the Gymwolves Shoutout
Published: 2026-05-09
The shoutout from Gymwolves wasn't just a post — it was a visible payoff for hours of training, the days that didn't go well, and asking “why did I start” hundreds of times. The story of those moments.
More than a post
The shoutout from Gymwolves landed as a social notification, but what it brought back was much older — the first day I started running, standing at the edge of the track in the early-morning cold. From that day to this one, training plans, comebacks from injury, asking “why did I start” hundreds of times — all of it has come down to one sentence: quitting was always easier, continuing wasn't.
The hours nobody sees
The brand's Wolfpack has the courage to see athletes both on stage and behind it. That's what the shoutout means to me — knowing the work I do when nobody's watching also counts, not just when the lights are on.
Hard work gives you something no one can take from you.
That line is the essence of the reel I shared with Gymwolves. The one thing nobody can take from you is the version of yourself that late nights of work built. Everything else is circumstance.
What's next?
The upcoming race season is the start of a long marathon series. I'll be writing training notes, race reports, and occasionally moments like this one. Stay close.
