50 Days to Change a Life: Why Milestones Matter More Than You Think

What if you could transform your goals, your mindset, and even impact children’s lives—all in just 50 days? I’m not talking theory, I’m living it, and today I’m throwing down the challenge: see what you can achieve before the next seven weeks are up. Intrigued? You should be. Because these 50-day blocks have become the driving force behind my mission to conquer the Runpreneur Challenge: running further than I ever imagined, aiming for 40,075 km and raising £1,000,000 for children’s causes.

Why 50 Days? Why Now?

If you’re a goal-setter, you’ve probably heard of the 90-day sprint: quarter-long pushes that define targets in business or life. As I shared in my vlog diary, I’ve followed this principle myself. But here’s the punchline—sometimes 90 days is just too drawn out. In my running life, celebrating every 50-day milestone keeps me driven, hungry, and focused.

Seven weeks are long enough to push boundaries, achieve something substantial, and—if you’re determined—even prep for a marathon (my training blocks are often eight weeks!). Think about it: many never run daily for a week, let alone a month or longer. Cross 50 days, and you’re in rare territory.

The Last 50 Days: Unmissable Achievements & Real Reflection

On day 1,850 of my running streak, I looked back and realised: not only did I pass my five-year anniversary (an enormous milestone!), but I also completed BOTH a marathon and a 50K ultra marathon during this past block. All while sticking to my everyday mission—run, vlog, and raise money for children’s causes around the world.

Honestly, these last seven weeks have been a blessing. Brilliant British weather, longer daylight hours, and the positive energy from fellow runners like Marsh (1200 consecutive days—what a legend!). Compared to the winter grind, summer running is pure joy. But don’t just take my word for it—try reflecting on your last 50 days and see what’s changed in YOUR life.

Why Should You Care About 50-Day Blocks?

Most people never experience the real power of focused, punchy milestones. Setting a goal for the next 50 days—a personal best, a new habit, or even a charity challenge—is much more approachable than waiting for three months to pass. If you’ve struggled to stick to longer sprints, maybe it’s time to rethink your strategy.

Need flexibility? Want to see quicker results? Shrink the window. Fifty days lets you adjust, pivot, and chase new objectives—especially useful in the early stages of any big mission.

My Mission: Beyond Day 4,292, Beyond £1,000,000

My goal is bold: crush the Runpreneur Challenge by running all the way past day 4,292, covering over 40,075 km—the circumference of the globe—and raising over £1M for children’s causes. Every 50 days, every step, every mile is part of that journey. And you can be part of it, too.
