People who don’t go to the gym or take care of themselves will 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 have something to say about the ones who do.

If you’re a regular gym goer, how many times have you been told, “you’re obsessed”, “you live in the gym”, “just chill”??

You might not think too much of it at first, but it probably happens a lot more than you think.

Some will laugh it off, others not so much.

But it really blows my mind to see people throw shade at people who take care of their health.

The good thing is, you’re doing something right if people are talking to, or about you like this.

It’s usually less about you, but more about what your effort, hard work and dedication reflects back at them.

Keep doing you.

Keep working hard.

Keep improving.

And let others talk about all of the good things you’re doing!

Hybrid Games 2026 ✅

A solid mornings work in the Toon yesterday.

Another big PB for us this year bringing that time down from a 57:47 last year.

Last year this was no where near possible, but setting a goal that might feel slightly out of reach and then working until it doesn’t, feels very satisfying.

As I said last week, the beauty of fitness competition is it always leaves you wanting more and testing yourself to see what you’re truly capable of.

On we go 🫡

Football was a huge part of my life growing up.

Numerous injuries and an ACL surgery later, that chapter was eventually closed.

After that, I needed something to replace the competition, adrenaline and buzz that came with playing…

And that’s where fitness events and running events came in.

To be honest… I was never a huge fan of running believe it or not…

But having something to train for completely changed my mindset. I found a new reason to push myself, set goals and see what I’m capable of.

It’s now something I genuinely love, and I’m always looking for the next challenge.

If you’ve ever thought about giving HYROX a go, check out the final slide! 👀

Honestly?

It’s not the workout where you push yourself to the point of throwing up.
It’s not the one where your watch says you burned the more calories than the last workout.
And it’s not the one you post because it “looks cool”.

A good session is the one where:

- You showed up — even when you didn’t feel like it.
- You focused on doing the basics well.
- You pushed yourself, but not to the point of complete failure.
- You left feeling accomplished and not destroyed.
- You feel better than you did before you started.

Some days you feel strong.
Some days everything feels heavy.
Both can still be considered as “good” sessions.

The best workouts aren’t always dramatic.

Instead…

They’re consistent.
They’re repeatable.
They move you forward.

What does a good workout look like to you?

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 “𝗳**𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻”.

It shows up when your alarm goes off early in the morning…
When your body’s feeling sore…
When the weights feel heavier than last week…
When your progress doesn’t match the effort you’ve been putting in…

That’s when the little voice in your head just starts to become that little bit louder…

“Skip today.”
“I’ll start again Monday.”
“One missed session won’t matter.”

And to be honest, one session won’t.

But pressing that button isn’t about the session you want to skip.

It’s the habit of quitting when it gets uncomfortable.

Strength and progress isn’t built on your best days.

It’s built on the days you didn’t feel like showing up, but you did anyway.

Those reps when you feel tired…
The sessions you turn up for when motivation is gone…
Your ability to stay disciplined when it’s so often easy to choose comfort…

Progress isn’t dictated by motivation.

It’s determined by how often you show up and your ability to refuse to press the button.

10k Sundays.

Always a brilliant morning in the town seeing so many familiar faces running and out supporting on the course.

Pleased with a new PB and Rachel Annie completing number 4 of 10 this year!
