Maybe we are all fat. Maybe we’re all lazy feckless layabouts who eat frozen chips because we’re too lazy to cut up potatoes, and pizza instead of salad because we’re too stupid to understand the concept of calories. Or maybe we live in a world where we’re expected to commute for 2 hours to work…
Its easy to think that the harder you work out the fitter you’ll get. I remember when I first started running I got faster with every session and I felt so proud. 8 years into my running journey and recently I’ve been feeling like the reverse is true. I feel like it’s getting harder and…
Ah, every fitness “influencer” in the world is running Zoom classes, and Instagram live classes and making workout videos right now, I, however, am not, and I sincerely apologise. I am a Personal Trainer, and this should have been my time to leap in there and get the world moving. But I didn’t, because for…
This is a sponsored post that was mostly written about a week ago, considering how much more important exercising outside and staying healthy is right now, I figured it’s as relevant as ever.

Well, as races go, the build-up to this one has got to be one of the most stressful I’ve ever had. I’ve been following a training plan for months, and then the week before race day Storm Ciara hit the UK and races across the country were cancelled amid safety fears. Well, I thought, at…
I’ll be honest, I had high hopes for this one. Over the last couple of years, my race times have declined dramatically. Not having actually trained for any of the races due to lack of time, injury, illness or just being damn exhausted from other activities was the reason. But this time was different. This…
With a shiny new year, comes a shiny new set of goals to think about. In January everyone is all about getting fit, which, like I said last week, is a rubbish goal, or losing weight. I haven’t set New Years Resolutions for years, which is obviously why I’ve waited until we’re already 2 weeks…
We’re nearly 10 days into a shiny new year that started with everyone feeling sluggish and bloated and swearing that this really IS the year when they’re going to GET FIT and do the thing. But by now you’ve probably already skipped a gym session, or remembered how hard it is to fit in a…
