Hello,

Welcome to my blog, thanks for taking the time reading and joining me on my journey to become an Ironman. I’m Liam Dixon from Preston, England but live in Sweden with my fiancé and our two daughters.

Why am I in Sweden? 🤣

Well me and the misses met back in 2013 whilst both in Australia it was love at first sight 😍 I couldn’t believe my lucky really and still can’t to this day 🤣 but here we are living in Sweden with our two daughters 8 years later ❤️💕.

Why an Ironman?

Well I’ve always been an active person since I was little mostly football and started the gym when I was 17, but since I went traveling at 21 my fitness dropped and since having children the weight followed, this year I decided to start running again, I’ve a very addicted personality so I quickly became addicted! After seeing an Ironman motivation talk on YouTube I thought wow what an achievement that would be to achieve, and from that day that was my aim. I want my daughters to grow up knowing anything is possible and I want to test my body and push the limits.

Since the journey I run most days and also cycle, not so much outside recently due to the winter here in Sweden 😫 but I’m getting there 🤣 swimming I will start with next year this is the one I’m scared of, I’m not a strong swimmer and putting them tight pants on doesn’t appeal to me 🤣 but well as I’m getting older only 28 but I’m realizing being out your comfort zone is a way to overcome fear and that’s what I’m aiming to do.

What Ironman? And when?

I’m not sure which Ironman yet, maybe kalmar or even maybe Bolton as that’s close to home for me, and I’m looking to do the Ironman in 2022 as I want a full year and abit to get my body prepared as I don’t want to rush this process because I don’t just want to do 1 Ironman I want to do as many as I can. Or even ultra marathons… running for me is my favorite just get some music on and your away in nature.

Anyway enough about me I hope you enjoy my content I’m a total rookie to this blogging so let’s see how it goes 🤣
