Time is a our biggest limiting factor.

It’s what we never have a enough of.

It’s what slips away without us realising.

Exercise/fitness is one of the few things we have control over and it’s one of the key benefactors for living longer and potentially in less pain.

My best advice as a fitness professional of 25 years is make the bare minimum of time.

Whatever I have trained for I always get the best results and the easier journey when…

Phottshoot 2015

I showed up.
Committed to doing the sessions I had on my plan.
Commited to following a plan for the entire time.

Spartan beast 2017

I had a plan.
I had a program.
I paid for support.

Ironman Wales 2017

I acknowledged that I was playing the long game.
Change takes time.
The bigger the goal or the further away I was from that goal then the longer I gave myself.
No gimmicks, no shortcuts, no secrets!

50km trail race

What I find out and what I implement with every client is…

Europe’s toughest mudder (12 hours overnight) 2018

The basics are super UNSEXY!
They do not sell out on the shelves.
They are no promoted my influencers.
They do not make the highlight reel!

Rat Race City to Summit 150 mile 🏃🏼‍♂️ 🚲 🏃🏼‍♂️ 2017

You can not expect to get stronger if you do not do some basic strength work.
You can not expect to get fitter if you do not do some easy and some hard cardio/conditioning.
You can not expect to get leaner if you do not follow some basic day in day out common sense guidelines.

The foundations have to be laid first.
You have to build some basic habits that fit into your weekly schedule.
You have to show up!
The good news is that the basics don’t have to dramatically change your life. They can fit into what time you have, it just takes some organising and planning.
The more extreme the goal then the more commitment needed BUT
Build the foundations first!

Assault bike for run 🥴

I had 9.5 miles/15.3km programmed for my run but time wasn’t on my side so I doubled it and completed it on the assault bike.

6x5km @ 55-65RPM kept me at a conversational pace (127-147bpm ❤️).
2 minutes rest between intervals was enough time to take fluid on and stretch.

Adjust the timing and intensity to suit you and although this machine gets a bad rep, I believe the transfer for fitness and mental fortitude to long distance running is second to none 👌🏼

What do you think?

As an average deadlifter

BUT

Way above average coach 😏

Get your set up right
Don’t yank the bar
Drive into the floor
Extend through the hips
It is never a PULL!

Pump up the volume 🎚️

A super easy way to get that RPE 7-8 volume in whilst getting a sweet pump and sweat on.

None of this is about pushing the loads but using a load that allows for moderate repetition efforts.

6 rounds of 10/10/10/20
1 bonus round of max reps with 20 cals to finish.

As a note AI is prettifyingly accurate!

“Literally obsessed”

Maybe 2 of the most ridiculous words used on social media when talking about….well anything!

Hyrox lungs builder

To really prepare for your next Hyrox, spend less time trying to replicate the event and more time building an efficient diesel engine!

Too many spend countless hours performing simulations. These have a place and that place is in the last phase of your training block. What you should be spending time doing is aerobic capacity work, strength training and sprinkle of VO2 max specific training.

This session is not about max effort for short durations but longer duration hard efforts.

What is hyrox?

Long duration hard efforts!

I’ll tell you a secret runners don’t want you to know 🤫

The first mile of almost every training run always feels like a chore. I could always stop and just turn back, the thought always crosses my mind.

What this does is reinforce why a warm up is so important. Allow yourself some time to ease into what you are asking of your body and mind! The body needs to adapt to the stress you are asking of it and your 🧠 needs to buy into it.

Training is a stress and that stress needs to be managed before, during and after. Push through the first barrier of time, then enjoy the feeling of freedom and the breeze through your mullet 🫠.
