  Fitness challenges are an exciting and empowering way to push the boundaries of your physical and mental capabilities. They offer a structured environment to test your limits and improve your overall health. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting on your fitness journey, taking on a fitness challenge provides an opportunity to grow, overcome obstacles, and develop a deeper understanding of what your body and mind are truly capable of. 
  At its core, a fitness challenge is designed to push you beyond your comfort zone. It’s about stepping outside of the familiar and embracing the unknown. This process not only helps you build strength and endurance but also cultivates resilience. The challenges you face, whether physical or mental, are what drive your progress and teach you valuable lessons that will stay with you long after the challenge is over. 
  Understanding the concept of pushing your limits is crucial in this journey. Our bodies are incredibly adaptable, and with the right training, they can achieve remarkable feats. However, the real challenge lies in the mind. The mental barriers we encounter—self-doubt, fear of failure, or simply the discomfort of pushing past our limits—are often the most difficult to overcome. Fitness challenges teach you how to break through these mental barriers and develop a mindset that thrives on resilience and determination.

  In a little over two and a half minutes on 6 September 2009 Steve Peat cemented his place in mountain biking history, becoming downhill world champion at the seventeenth time of asking and by a winning margin of just five hundredths of a second. But 'Peaty's' road to the coveted rainbow stripes began almost two decades earlier on the woodland trails of Northern England. Born and raised in Sheffield, he narrowly avoided going down the wrong track and instead chose to race cross-country mountain bikes before switching to the rapidly emerging discipline of downhill where he would compete alongside other young British racers including Rob Warner and the late, great, Jason McRoy. Since then, Steve has competed against the greatest riders of all time, including Nicolas Vouilloz, Shaun Palmer and Greg Minnaar, and his name has become synonymous around the world with downhill mountain biking.
  In Forged by Speed, Steve shares his incredible story, from the Steel City to the top step of the world championship podium. Honest, compelling and funny, it is the autobiography of a British sporting legend.

  Twice the Glory - The Making of...

  'You only need to win a game by one point. – Jacques Nienaber after South Africa's tournament opener against Scotland in the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
  Little did the coach know that it would take three one-point games to propel the Springboks into the history books as back-to-back winners of the Webb Ellis Cup.
  In 2017 the Boks looked punch-drunk as Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus watched them being overpowered by Ireland. The following year, the coaching duo took up the reins little more than 18 months before the 2019 RWC in Japan. And so began a journey that was to end in victory in the Stade de France six years later.
  Twice the Glory goes deep inside the Bok story of that historic era. Filled with drama, cheers and tears, it will have you on the edge of your seat as you relive each nail-biting moment. It's all here: the Covid disruption, Siya Kolisi's rise to the captaincy, Rassie in hot water over that video, injury blows and the emergence of new talent as they head off to France. The book also includes penetrating analysis and insights from the self-effacing Nienaber into how this team became the finest the world has seen.
  A recurring theme is the friendship between Jacques and Rassie that goes all the way back to their university days, and why they decided to come home to South Africa to 'turn things around'.
