My man Tony here is about to undertake something extraordinary. For 10 days he’s going to be running 100 miles per day to beat the world record for 1000 miles which has stood since 1988. But get this. He’s doing it around the Crystal Palace athletics track Barefoot. He’s ready I just helped with a little tune up today. It all starts with a bit of a party on Saturday 6th. Bring good vibes.

When I started training to be a massage therapist in 2013 my body felt twisted and I was having regular bouts of back pain.
I’d had enough massage treatments to know it was helpful and had a lot more whilst on the course.
I followed this with some more intense treatments over the next few years, in particular a programme of Rolfing which informed the style of massage I now provide. This targets the fascia, releasing areas that are stuck to give greater freedom of movement.
The next step was exploring what sort of movement and exercise would be most beneficial for me. I tried lots of gym classes, yoga, qi-gong, capoeira, and more. All helped but the game changer was discovering Natural Movement via MovNat.
I now teach my own version of this called Natural Fitness.
Today at 47 I’m still a work in progress and will never be symmetrical but that’s fine. I’m stronger than ever with good mobility and I run ultra-marathons. Maybe I can help you too.

We had a fabulous time helping harvest plums for Lambeth foodbank yesterday. We’re fortunate to have the beautiful Kent countryside nearby. Feels like having a reset whenever we visit. Great to be able to use our bodies differently too.

With an increase in my training load there’s an increase in my appetite too. Thankfully there’s Esme to serve up her delicious southern fried jackfruit and some healthy carbs.

New PB for the half marathon today in the run up to the London Marathon. Not bad at 47.
