Picture a scene: A 90-degree turn around a tall gray wall opens out to a spanning vista of the Irish Sea overlooking the lighthouse at Rockabill. 

The sun is starting to rise over beyond the lighthouse as you and the other early-risers pound the footpath to the finish line. Once over the line it’s time for the obligatory selfies, Facebook updates, Instagram poses, quick Snap to your lazy and less socially conscious followers and of course the essential tweet with the hashtag #darknessintolight.

Now picture another scene, essential for this is a face of pristine make-up, a new pair of trainers and designer yoga pants. Whilst capturing your workout routine it is necessary to use slow-motion shots just to capture your perfect posture as you deadlift your way to happiness.
