I never wanted to be the biggest or the fastest.
But what I did want was to be fit, strong, look jacked and be able to perform to a good level.
Because what’s the point in having the muscle car without the engine? 🚘
I want to be able to lift heavy, run a decent distance, move well and still look like I actually train.
So that I look and feel better for myself and my family.
I don't think you need to specialise in one thing to be good at training.
For me, it’s about having a good balance of strength, muscle, fitness and enjoyment.
Not being the best at any one thing, but being pretty good at all of it.

What I Do Everyday to Stay Ahead ⤵️
Why? Because it gives me confidence, happiness and health.
And doesn’t require tonnes of energy or selling my soul.
Hydration, supplements, movement, fuel and good restful sleep 💯
And the rest of my time I do what I want.
I still get to indulge in all my favourite foods, treats and social events.
Just in healthy moderation ✅
Ps: I don’t actually feel 10/10 every day but I’m going to try my best and these things seriously help.
Pps: My Essential Alcohol E-Book is still available for free, grab it from my bio!
Tired of feeling like you have to choose between enjoying a drink and making progress?
You don't have to give up alcohol to lose fat, you just need to know how to make better choices.
That's exactly why I created my Essential Alcohol E-Book.
Inside you'll find calories, carbs, alcohol percentages, and simple tips to help you enjoy a drink while staying on track with your goals.
Download it free using the link in my bio.
If you're struggling to lose body fat while still enjoying alcohol... why?
What's actually stopping you from changing that?
Most of the time, it's not a lack of willpower, it's a lack of knowledge.
Because when you know how to make better choices, you can enjoy a drink without feeling like you're undoing all your hard work.
The key isn't cutting alcohol out completely. It's understanding what to choose, how it fits your goals, and then putting that knowledge into action.
That's exactly why I created my Essential Alcohol E-book.
Inside, you'll learn how to enjoy alcohol while still making progress towards your fat loss goals, with practical information you can start using straight away.

26k Run 🏃♂️
This was the distance where I got injured last time while training for my previous event. Looking back, I'm pretty sure it was caused by the impact from a big downhill section early in that run.
Today's run was a completely different story. I took it much steadier, paced it well, and felt good throughout. The only challenge was having to finish part of the run around the house while keeping an eye on the kids 😂 Needs must!
I'm really pleased with how today went. When you've been injured before, there's always a bit of doubt in the back of your mind, so getting through this run feeling strong is a real confidence boost.
There's still plenty of work to do, with my longest training run of 34k still to come, but today feels like another positive step in the right direction. 💪

Gym Challenge - The Big 3 🏋♂️
I'm not always one to get involved in a gym challenge, but this one tied in well as I was coming to the end of a 12-week strength programme and wanted to test some lifts.
I was even more surprised to see that more people haven't got involved in this one, and we still have a week left. Hopefully a few more names make it onto the board before it finishes! 💪
This month's challenge was your combined 1-rep max across the big three lifts:
• Squat – 160kg
• Bench Press – 130kg
• Deadlift – 220kg
Total: 510kg 💥
It was a fun way to finish the programme and see how the last 12 weeks of training had paid off, especially while balancing it alongside ultramarathon training.
If you want to improve your technique, build confidence with the big lifts, or simply get stronger, drop me a message. Whether you're just starting out or looking to break through a plateau, I'd be happy to help. 💪

Summertime Live 🎶☀️🍻
Had a great time with friends at the weekend over at Summertime Live, which did involve a few drinks and a bit of indulging.
It's not something I do all the time, but I think it's important to have balance in life and create new memories.
In fact, the less often I drink now, the more it seems to disagree with me. These days I enjoy myself just as much by moderating, knowing my limits, and not feeling horrendous the next day.
It's crazy to think there was a time when I couldn't go out without worrying about losing my keys or phone, whereas now I'm happy to stop when I know I've had enough, knowing it won't throw off months of training progress.
Fitness should add to your life, not stop you from living it. Enjoy the occasion, then get back to your routine. 💪

The biggest mistakes I made in my early years of training had nothing to do with the exercises I was doing.
They were the habits I thought would get me results quicker... but actually held me back.
❌ Not eating enough to fuel my body or workouts
I thought eating less meant getting leaner faster. Instead, I had less energy, recovered poorly, and my performance often suffered.
❌ Not getting enough rest and recovery
Progress doesn't happen while you're training; it happens when you recover. Sleep and rest days are just as important as your workouts.
❌ Training too intensely to sustain
You can't train at 100% all the time if you want to make long-term progress. If your programme isn't sustainable, you're far less likely to stick with it.
❌ Burning the candle at both ends
Trying to balance hard training with poor sleep, long days, and constant stress eventually catches up with you. Recovery matters.
❌ Restricting myself so much that it led to bingeing
Being overly strict with food only made me crave the foods I was avoiding. A balanced approach is much easier to maintain.
❌ Mixing up my programme too often
I was always chasing the next "best" workout instead of giving one plan enough time to work. Real progress comes from sticking with a well-structured programme long enough to see the results.
❌ Letting training stop me enjoying life
Social occasions or spontaneous plans used to stress me out because I was worried about ruining my progress. Now I know fitness should fit around your life, not take it over. The best approach is one you can enjoy and maintain for years.
It took me years to learn these lessons, but they completely changed how I approach my own training. Now I use those lessons to help my clients avoid making the same mistakes.
Which one do you relate to the most, or is there another mistake you'd add? Let me know in the comments.
