This Thursday at 12.30pm UK time we are going LIVE on Instagram with James from @thealtitudecentre to chat about how altitude training can make a serious difference to your goals!

Hot and cold treatment done well today, sometimes you just have to get some R&R right @Sarah Archer ! 💦💧

How do you explain when you wake up and all of a sudden your lower back starts spasming....all of a sudden your day changes....no training today......maybe some stretching at best! 😒

Occasionally (very occasionally) a new connection on social media leads to a real life conversation. Of them occasionally (very occasionally) you end up connecting with someone truly inspiring. That happened this week and we're gonna make some cool stuff happen together.

Anyone who wants to chat business, endurance sport, running or just chew the fat on what's gonna happen next with covid do drop me a line ([email protected]) 🤘

Yesterday was an intense day here. Just like any training, when things get too intense it’s important to release the tension.  

Resolve: massage time.  I could feel the release of toxins, the blood flow, my breath relaxed and my body settle. 

If you do not have access to a massage right now, it’s always good to roll it out!  I’ll leave you with this perfectly imperfect roll out session from this summer! Quads/IT/Glutes...hurts so good!

How do you release the tension?

This Thursday at 12.30pm UK time we are going live on Instagram with Ultra X nutrition lead @r_mcgregor.

We’ll be discussing the ever-changing science behind performance nutrition. We'll look at how sports nutrition has changed, what to believe and the all important what not to believe.

Got a question for Renee? Put it in the comments section below or head to our stories and pop it in the question box.

Well that’s one way to use it; how she rolls. 😂😂

Building Strength - Today's focus - committing to doing the little things I hate doing.  

My quads may be strong - but (and I am sure some runners can relate) my hip, gluteus, abductor, adductor & hamstring muscles are WEAK! And of course, my track record for self care outside of the set workout is waning. However, my EOY theme is tri-ing - so here we go. Plus, let's be real, its what I need to do to keep my body healthy.  

Sharing a quick little, glute/hammy burn with tiny spice of core, TRX rows ( @TRX by TCB desperately seeking creativity - please ) and touching my toes (check). Happy training!

3 x 12 TRX Rows

2009, when my heart really did not want to play nicely anymore. After stopping for up to 90 seconds, hundreds of times since I was a little boy, I finally had a diagnosis and a pacemaker installed. My life changed (for the better) dramatically, but the fragility and semi-permanence of this thing were doing on earth was completely engrained in me. I’ve not let my condition get me too far down, I’ve played pretty hard, kept myself very busy, and have spent half my adult life being more serious about my physical and mental health. I’m so pumped about life, so excited about what the future will bring, and happy to be a role model for my daughter Minnie who also has the same severe case of Vasal Vagal Syncope that I now have under control! ?? Thank you to my soulmate Sarah Archer for holding me up at times and being there for me always. X

Good luck to Sam Eley in the GC50 festival tomorrow ! Today having a salt bath getting ready :) ?

This Thursday at 12.30pm UK time we are going LIVE on Instagram with @Beth_Pascal

We’ll be chatting to Beth about her recent FKT (fastest known time) on the Bob Graham Round, a 66 mile (106km) loop with 42 fells and about 8,200 metres of elevation gain! Beth completed it in just 14 hours and 34 minutes!

Oh, and when she's not out breaking records she's a paediatric doctor! 

One of my many sparring sessions with Kiki, one of the best and last trainers I had before hanging up the gloves on a very fun amateur boxing career. The sport taught me a lot about myself, who I am, and what is possible with hard work, persistence, and belief that you can do anything you set your mind to.

For all the Boys, Lads and Mates....

And for those that love and look after us....
