Welcome to The Shugyō Project — an ongoing journal of adventure, challenge, and growth later in life. Here, I share the journey of preparing for and taking on demanding goals. This is about more than training; it’s about mindset, resilience, and the lessons learned through purposeful discomfort. Along the way, I’ll share the highs and lows — the triumphs, setbacks, and everything in between — because real progress is never a straight line.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m too old”, “too unfit”, or “it’s too late”, this space exists to prove otherwise. Follow along and take inspiration for your own journey, one challenge at a time
