They say it takes a village to get you by without a vehicle (something like that).

Between my clutch going in early December, and a rogue sheep on the a470 early January I have only had my van for 3/12 weeks during that time.

Thank you to every person who has:
-picked me up or dropped me off
-picked up or dropped off my daughter
-picked up or towed my vehicle
-dropped in to let my dogs out
-looked after my dogs
-given me a lift
-given me a vehicle (all of them !)
-rearranged a meeting / appt

Huge thanks to everyone of you 😮‍💨

On to the next

Circumstance and injury have been the two biggest determinants of my training pivots in the last 15-20 years.

The opportunity for me right now has emerged as running - something I’m far more naturally designed for than my training pursuits over the last 10 years and I’m enjoying it.

I have always run, in the past to a decent level and purely on intuition. This lends itself to running harder / faster whenever I ran.

As my training and clinical experience matures I am ever more interested in managing my longevity, particularly training volume and intensity.

This time through I am going to take the opportunity to learn heart rate training to try and guide things and from my first few weeks of deliberately training low intensity (zones 1 and 2) I can see the importance of an aerobic base to underpin the higher intensities down the track. I can also see quite dramatic increases in my zone 2 running speed.

Life is too short to miss a chance to learn new ways to train, so let’s see where this one leads 😎 🏃🏻‍♂️

If you’re going to do something, why not do it as well as you can ?

This was a quote that stuck with me from Ian Jeffrey’s TWENTY years ago.

Ian was my first S&C coach when I played rugby for Wales U16. From here Ian convinced me to attend his college where I pursued Sport and Exercise Science and really was my first guide through the Strength and Conditioning scene.

Great to catch up and to thank him for really providing the launchpad to my career since.

Whilst I grabbed a quick session It was very nostalgic to hear Ian coaching a group of high school prospects. Took me right back ☺️

Fortunate students

A couple weeks into the new year and I’ve not posted much.

I’ve pulled the trigger on a big shift in training, largely for valuing the importance of time at home with the family.

The wrestle with working long hours and then spending more time at the gym just isn’t appealing or appropriate right now.

For these reasons, I have mapped myself out a route back to an old body shape, sub 90kg and less of a training schedule, and more a flexible checklist of what I’m aiming for each week in short snappy slots I can mostly do anywhere.

Come February, in a lighter frame, fitness and bodyweight training will be a lot more appealing and this will coordinate well with Kilimanjaro trekking this summer.

I am considering using One Arm Chin as a 12-18 month training goal (10 strict 2 arm reps possible right now), but let’s see how wearing

Not all the seed made it to them though 🙊
