💙 A VERY FOND FAREWELL TO EMMA 💙

After more than two years as part of the Stronger Together community, it is time to say goodbye to Emma Smith as she moves to Scotland this week — and she is going to be massively missed

Emma has been far more than just a client of mine. She has been a role model, an inspiration, a training partner and, most importantly, a very good friend to many of the ladies (& myself)

Throughout her time with us, Emma has continually gone out of her way to help others achieve their goals

She ran alongside Anna Foster during her first marathon, paced Libby Powell to her first sub-one-hour 10km and has joined several of the ladies for their first parkruns, longer training runs and sessions when they needed extra support

Emma has helped so many women become fitter, more confident and more capable runners

Her own dedication has also set an incredible example. She has completed a sub-four-hour marathon, taken on ultramarathons, achieved personal bests across every race distance and made huge improvements to her strength, including closing in on a 100kg deadlift

Her consistency and determination have inspired many people, but it is her kindness and willingness to support others that will leave the biggest impression

Emma, thank you for everything you have contributed to Stronger Together over the last two years. You have made a genuine difference to so many people, and the community will not be quite the same without you

You will always be part of Stronger Together, and we all wish you every happiness and success in Scotland

Good luck, Emma — and please don’t be a stranger 💙💪🏻

Well done to my fellow Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for smashing tonight’s workout 👏🏻

My breakfast this morning… and pretty much every morning 🥣

100g oats
One scoop of chocolate whey protein
300ml semi-skimmed milk
A punnet of raspberries

I eat virtually the same breakfast every day

Not because I think everyone needs to eat breakfast, or because this is some sort of magical fat-loss meal

I eat it because I genuinely like the taste, it takes very little time to prepare, it keeps me full and gives me plenty of energy for training, coaching and everything else I need to do throughout the day

It also gives me a useful combination of protein, carbohydrates, fibre and fruit without requiring much thought or effort first thing in the morning

Some people assume that eating healthily means constantly finding new recipes and preparing completely different meals every day

It doesn’t

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with repeating meals that you enjoy, that meet your nutritional needs and that work well with your lifestyle

In fact, keeping some of your meals simple and predictable can make it much easier to remain consistent

Do you have to eat breakfast to lose body fat or make progress?

No

There’s nothing magical about eating as soon as you wake up, and skipping breakfast won’t automatically stop you getting results

What matters most is what you consume across the whole day and whether that supports your goals

This breakfast works for me, so I see no reason to change it

Do you eat the same breakfast most days, or do you prefer to mix it up?

Tired of feeling lost or unmotivated in the gym?

You’re not alone — and you don’t have to train alone either
