George Mills, a dedicated middle-distance runner, exemplifies commitment through his disciplined training and ascetic lifestyle in Dullstroom, South Africa. Celebrating his successes with only a kombucha and a commitment to solid sleep, Mills embraces intense training and simplicity by avoiding any indulgences, such as flavored food or sweets. With a goal to consistently compete for medals in every championship, he acknowledges the challenge posed by elite competitors like Jakob Ingebrigtsen but remains firmly focused on optimizing performance and seizing opportunities to maximize his talent during this crucial phase of his career.
Flavour doesn't make you fast, he says. I try to nap most afternoons and obviously get a good night's sleep.
If you do everything right yourself and you're 100% on the day, anything is possible.
I got a taste of a medal in Rome last year. Now I want, at every championship I turn up at, to be competing for medals.
The way he sees it, he has a limited window to maximise his talent so why shouldn't he commit everything to succeeding?
