The Iron Dad

Tracking food isn’t the point.

Learning what’s actually in your food is.
Once you know, you never really un-know.
The tools have changed. The fundamentals haven’t.

Same principles. A stronger you. 💪

7 years ago today I quit my full time job to chase a dream.

Found out Slovakia didn’t have a decathlete. So I thought, right, that’s my spot. Don’t need to be world class. Just need to get better.

Took a part time PT job to cover the bills and went for it. Glasgow every week, Sunday to Wednesday, six months.

Emirates Arena. Scotstoun. Best facilities in the country, class coaching, training alongside some of the best athletes in Britain.

For six months I lived like an athlete. Train, eat, rest, train again. That was the whole day. Nothing else in it. Twice a day with the boys.

Then COVID hit and that was that.

Didn’t work out. Never made it. Would do it all again though.

Because I know exactly what I’m capable of when I properly commit to something. Most folk never get to find that out.

This is one of my most proudest moments because I will never wonder what if.

So if there’s something you’ve always fancied doing, go and do it. Doesn’t matter if it works out. You’ll know either way, and knowing beats wondering.
