Absolutely stoked right now 🙌💪 I’ve been grinding away for the past six months trying to rebuild my freestyle stroke, retraining myself to breathe unilaterally and shake off some bad habits I picked up since getting back into the water (and let’s be honest, swimming in England is way too cold 😂).

Today wasn’t even meant to be a hard session—it’s a recovery week after Western Sydney Ironman. But once I hit the first 100m, I felt unreal, so I thought: why not see what I can do over 1.5km?

500m in—still strong. 1000m—still ticking along. Closed out the 1.5km with a big push, and when I checked my time… I hadn’t just nudged my PB from 2023, I smashed it by close to a minute! 🔥

Sometimes the unplanned sessions are the best ones. Absolutely buzzing with this result

Let's be honest..... This is me whenever I do Parkrun 😂

Well that's a wrap for the third term of the Thursday Improve Speed and Run Group with a free time trial next week before kicking off with the final 10 week block of the year. We'd like to thank and congratulate everyone in this block who absolutely took on every challenge with passion and desire. It has been an awesome 10 week block and looking forward to seeing what's the future holds next. Let's go!

First Magpie attack of the season for me whilst with a client 😞. Followed me for a good 100m swooping then sitting in the tree planning his next swoop 😂. Found it quite amusing ducking and diving out the way. I've found that when you make eye contact the swoops aren't as bad as they see you and pull away last minute but I'll definitely be planning a new route for next week 😉

When the physio decides you need a week off running..... So the bargaining starts 😂

Can I cycle?.... Yes but if I remain upright ✅
Gym? Yes but no hinge movements, so just a few bodyweight for lower and upper is a go ✅
Swim? That's a firm yes.

The moral of the story is that sometimes the injury doesn't mean that there's no exercise. If anything I always see this as an opportunity to improve in other areas although this week anything done will be at a low capacity in order to recover from Sunday's Ironman.

Well that's a wrap for the third round of the Gunghalin Improve speed and run fitness group. It was a chilly round, but hopefully a warmer round for the final one of the year.

Today we ran a coned Fartlek, focusing on different paces. We marked up a course on the trails and everyone took to it in style with some Stella performances 💪🏻
