a gorg few days in London with Mum❣️

a lovely week of life..❤️

FULL transparency on the last 8 weeks post Ironman struggle and the radio silence on my own fitness life👀

Honestly I have struggled SO much more than I expected post race. As someone who has trained consistently for their whole adult life I assumed I’d take a few weeks off then find my feet with a new routine and wow it’s been so far from that.

- the lack of fitness
- the lack of confidence
- the physical changes
- the lack of routine

Everything piled together has left me feeling like I hate fitness and never want to do it again (I know this isn’t actually the case) BUT I think it is so important to show that the aftermath of these HUGE events isn’t all sunshine and rainbows and I know for a fact I am not the only person who feels like this.

So that being said Monday starts the beginning of me pulling up my big girl pants and making some changes. Some new routines, stripping things right back to basics, tracking my nutrition and trying to not dwell in the space I have been right now.

If your feeling like this after something big please know your not alone, it’s completely normal, it’s gonna get better & it’s maybe just something your favourite instagrammers don’t like to show😵‍💫🧠🗑️

Everyone wants the transformation but very few people are willing to do what actually creates it.

When Lucy joined me for 1-1 check ins whilst being a member at MODUS/ EGF last September, her wedding wasn’t the focus.

Getting stronger was, getting fitter was, learning new skills was. Focusing on what her body can DO instead of just chasing a smaller body was.

In the last 9 months Lucy has hit:

-65kg Clean & Jerk
-70kg Clean
-42.5kg Sn**ch
-65kg Split Jerk
-115kg Deadlift
-110kg Back Squat
-87.5kg Front Squat
- Unlocked TTB & Kipping Pull Ups
-21:24 5km
-47:02 10km
-1:50 half mara

And yes… she’s also in the best shape of her life BUT heres the part people don’t expect & many don’t believe. For most of this process Lucy wasn’t dieting. She was eating 2500+ cals, fuelling her training, building muscle and recovering properly.

It wasn’t until the start of May just a few months before her wedding that we actually introduced a small calorie deficit.

The lowest her calories went? 1,950

yeeeeehaw🤠🐎
