“Can’t Even Walk Without Crutches”: In Spite of His Attempt to Complete a Grueling Challenge, Fitness Enthusiast Ends Up in an Alarming Situation

The weight loss journey is a rather long process that comes slowly and steadily with months of consistency and perseverance. No shortcuts can ever replace hard work, and if you’re getting results in a short period, it means you’re going to have to pay a price for it. The recent incident that occurred while the YouTuber, Tom Morley, tried to embark on a weight loss journey is a testament to the fact.

Tom Morley decided to run 5 km per day for 30 days straight and record the results. There is no denying the fact that it did bring about huge positive impacts for him and was also very rewarding at the same time. He lost a significant amount of weight, and could also run faster, but the cost he had to pay for it was simply not worth it. 

Tom Morley’s grueling results from the challenge

The documentary went about enthusiastically showcasing the progress in speed and all the positive changes that Tom Morley went through due to the challenge. His sheer dedication was evidence of the impressive results that the challenge seeped in. He said, “I was just super pleased with that. I’ve not run since, uh early last summer.” He also got a four-minute and 58 seconds decrease to his overall 5k time. However, with the progression of the video, there was a turn of events that changed everything.

He said, “Now I am really happy with the progress and you know with how things were going. We were looking on to get some pretty decent results by the end of this. However..” After 30 days of tirelessly running for 5kms and witnessing significant transformation, the consequences started creeping in. He had to go through surgery for the several bruises that he had on his body and the muscle injuries that he had acquired due to the challenge.

He said, “I’m sitting here, 11 days after surgery, and editing this video and it’s just so hard to watch. I actually can’t even walk without crutches.” Morley was distressed for all his efforts and time went in vain. He added, “Then something like this happens and just completely kills it.” The Internet witnessed a prevailing trend of the 30-day 5km running challenge, with numerous fitness influencers actively participating and achieving varying outcomes.

While some athletes faced outcomes less favorable than Morley, others experienced remarkable transformations. Brett Maverick, a renowned YouTuber, embraced the challenge despite his initial weight of 189 lbs and 15% body fat. Initially, he struggled, experiencing fatigue after just a mile of running.

After diligently committing to the challenge for two weeks, Maverick experienced a notable shift. The running became increasingly effortless, eventually feeling like a mere warm-up. In contrast to Morley, Maverick opted to perform his runs on a treadmill.

Remarkably, he underwent a significant transformation, having completed a total of 93 miles in a month. He successfully shed 8 lbs, bringing his weight down to 181 lbs.
