75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Has anyone been told outright that they were too old for their goals? Probably right? But is that true? Why are all gymnasts in their late teens or early 20’s, swimmers in their mid 20’s and Ironman competitors are usually in their mid 30’s. What if you want to start gymnastics as a 40th birthday...

For good or for bad adulting is a word now at least sort of. It’s a thing, well it’s probably a thing a least. The realities of being a grown up do sort of fail to live up to expectations don’t they? You get up, get the people related to you out the door, go... Continue Reading →
There are so, so many of these out there on every social media channel but Pinterest is probably the biggest offender.

Don’t worry I’m as upset about missing a post as you are! This is the third year... Continue Reading →
Today is all about fasted cardio. What is it? Why do people do it? And perhaps most importantly should you do it? We will did into a little bit of science here along the way but this time I’m going to put my opinions out there at the start and that is a really strong... Continue Reading →
I read a lot about running and a lot has been written on the subject but one thing you literally never hear about is the fact that it’s ‘somewhat’ normal to have intense heart pain. But before we get into it a few points: I’m not a medical doctor, there is no badge for surviving... Continue Reading →
