On paper I think I am meant to be upset…..
. but yeah, nah, I got a PW - Personal Worse, and all I have is bastard DOMS.

Read more if you want to recreate this a experience

🍉Yeah, I ran an extra lap, I was necking a gel as I ran past the screen and only realised at the last minute, I then had 25 metres to decide whether I risk a penalty by not running enough laps, or add 90 seconds on to my time by running an extra lap.

🍉 Falling over… yeah, three times, in the same spot on the course, there was nothing on the floor and each time it happened on the first lap out of the Roxzone. I was shooketh I tell you.

🍉 Do the stations in the wrong order, I was halfway down the first stretch of lunges when Aileen shouts over to me “You know you’re meant o be on the Farmer, right?” Yes, this was my 12th Hyrox.

🍉 Pukefest. Yeah, this was just my achalasia, never happened during Hyrox, yes in marathons, not in a Hyrox before, so that was new.

BONUS - walk in all of your runs and ignore the voice in your head that says “F**king MOVE”

Anyway, last ever Hyrox Solo Pro done and dusted, and I am happy as a happy thing.

Next up Brighton Marathon…..

Representation is everything if you see it you can do it.

Know that your training only stops when you decided it stops. Not when you turn 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or…or…or…. So buckle up and buy that new kit you’re going to need it 😂😂

Of course you can train for your marathon on a treadmill.

But if you can get outside… get outside. That said, life doesn’t always play ball.

📍 Location�I’ve got a client right now living somewhere covered in snow and ice. Running outside? Not happening. So we adapt. The gym becomes the training ground. No drama. No excuses. Just smart adjustments.

📍 Situation�I once coached a parent of young kids who knocked out their long runs at 4am. Out the door before the house woke up at 7. Was it glamorous? No. Was it effective? Absolutely. You don’t need perfect conditions. You need commitment.

📍 Distractions�Some of you know you’re easily distracted outside. Traffic lights. Phone. That “I’ll just stop here” moment.
�Treadmill can actually sharpen you up. Lock in with an audiobook. A proper podcast series. Head down. Work done.

If you are on the treadmill, set it to 1–1.5% incline. It offsets the lack of wind resistance and keeps things honest.

Training for a marathon on a treadmill builds serious mental resilience.

This is how it feels when you trash talk yourself whilst training.

Don’t do it.

“I’m so weak”
“My tiny arms pathetic”
“I could NEVER do that”
“I WISH I could run a marathon but I’m a s**t / slow runner”

If you wouldn’t say it to a child, to anyone else on the planet then don’t say it to yourself. On average women critics themselves 8 times per day and men do it 3 times a day. WTF Peeps.

What a MASSIVE waste of energy that you could be using to achieve your goals, stop that s**t right now Bebe…. I’m not asking you 🤨

Are we clear?

I was away skiing / half term / visiting the in-laws and, I did week 12 before I went away but missed my week 13 of training, shall I just jump onto week 14?

NO! Training is built on sequential steps, you build your foundation and layer each week of training on top. If you miss a week, you go back and do that week, there is no jumping ahead, there is no leap frogging.

Right, as you were………

Reel Day 1- 100 days
Can you imagine?

If someone said
“Listen bebe, it’s only 100 training session until you hit the jackpot”.

Imagine… just bloody imagine

Crossing the finish line to your race and seeing that dream number on the overhead clock?

Imagine loading the bar with that dream weight know, just KNOWING, you’ve got this?

Isn’t that a fu***ng wild thought?

Lent starts, today, even if you don’t do religion, you can still get with the ‘stop or start something for 40 days’, right?

So, yeah. Crack on. 100 days (may29th, in case you’re wondering)….. What do you fancy?
