My name is Simon Muchiri from Kenya. I'm a Procurement and logistics manager by profession and an Automotive Engineer by passion. I'm currently working as a trainer and coordinator for GFF Team Kenya.

Some years back I used to work out once in a while with little or no achievements at all. I happened to meet John Groom during his visit to Kenya(little did I know my life would take a turn) through Dr. James. Can't lie, I thought it was just a regular visit. In December 2023, James told me there was a challenge he wanted me to attempt. 30 pushups, 30 leg lifts, 30 squats, and a 500 m run. "Are you kidding me?" I believed no way I could do all that at a go. I did it anyway with a time of 3.47 although I was not verified for poor form. I could barely walk for a week due to the intensity of the exercise. The second attempt came a week later recording an improved time of 3.44 which again was not verified. This compelled me to back on the drawing board. I went back to regular exercise full-time. On 15th April 2024, I submitted my 3rd attempt with a time of 3.38 which was finally verified. On May 7, I improved my time to 3.17. Three days later I did a sub 3 posting 2.59! Impressive, right? My target is to achieve a score of 2.30 by the end of the year, tough but achievable.

Being in the Global Fast Community is the best thing that happened to me.
