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?

Veganism in the general population has never been more widespread and some of the biggest names in sport seem to be leading the charge. High profile athletes such as Venus Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Alex Honnold are just a few of the famous faces who have been experimenting with a plant-based diet, and openly discussing

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!

Multi-stage racing requires you to push hard for a day and then do it

The Swimming Silly Season – on the 87th 100m of Christmas my Swim Coach gave to me. 7 breaths per length….4 kicks per arm cycle, 25 strokes over 25m and a pullbouy between my ankles…. you get the idea…I called this article ‘Silly Season’ since it is the time of year when overly long swimming sets seem to take

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

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.
