1️⃣ Sleep to go until 2025 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️⚡️

Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow 🍀
The hills are only temporary… and don’t forget the first 4km is downhill 😉

Let’s LFG 🔥🚀🙌🏻

👟 Are you wearing the right shoes for the right session?

Last week I saw someone weightlifting in carbon running shoes 🤯 WTF?!
(and no… there wasn’t a 5K test in the workout 😂)

Not all trainers are created equal — the right shoe really is the right tool for the job. Here’s how I break it down ⬇️

1️⃣ Vivo Primus Knit – everyday lifestyle wear + light movement 🌿

2️⃣ Vivo Motus Strength – stable base for lifting & gym work 🏋🏼‍♀️

3️⃣ Nike Romaleos – max stability for heavy squats & Olympic lifts 🏆

4️⃣ RAD Ones – versatile for Hyrox & CrossFit 💥

5️⃣ Basic Running Shoes – the safe Hyrox option ✔️ just make sure you’ve got enough grip & stability 🏃🏼‍♀️

6️⃣ Nylon Plated Running Shoes – my go-to Hyrox race shoe 🚀 good grip, stability + race responsiveness

7️⃣ Carbon Plated Running Shoes – can work for Hyrox race day ⚡️ if you can get enough grip & stability to lunge/wall ball — they’ll give you quicker runs 🚀

⚡️ Protect your feet, your joints and level up your performance by choosing wisely.

Squatting in spongy running shoes? Definitely not the one 🤦🏻‍♀️

Reset, restart — as many times as you need to 🍃✨🧠

In my opinion, so many people could feel better just by getting outside in daylight and walking daily.

For me, it never fails to reset my nervous system, clear my mind and set me up for the day — or give me that mid-afternoon reset when I need it most.

Research shows that exposure to natural daylight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which makes it easier to fall asleep, improves sleep quality, and boosts energy in the day.

And the bonus? I always sleep so much better.

If you aren’t getting outside daily, try it… then tell me you don’t benefit 👌🏻

Brunch, Good coffee and Ice cream 😍

If you didn’t know these are 3 of my favourite things.

How have I never been to ? Had me at coconut 🥥 🌴

Next on the list 👌🏻

🧨 The result I never wanted to share… but the one that shaped my future training, made me question everything, and pushed me to change.

Why share this now?

Because lately, so many people have asked ⬇️
👉🏻 Why do I train like I do?
👉🏻 Why do I recover like I do?
👉🏻 Why do I invest so much in my health?
👉🏻 What drives me every day?

🔥 The answer: this failure — and the photos of this race.

I thought I was fit. I thought I trained hard. I thought I recovered well.
Truth was… I didn’t. Not at the level needed to do the things I dreamed of.

📈 So I had a choice: stay the same, or go ALL IN.

That meant:
⚡ 10kg lost (running & burpees faster)
⚡ Running — my biggest weakness — prioritised
⚡ Sleep & rest days = non-negotiable
⚡ Consistent food prep, 7 days a week
⚡ No/very little alcohol
⚡ Sitting with discomfort
⚡ Hitting scary intensities
⚡ Huge mindset shifts
⚡ Sauna 3–4x a week
⚡ Daily cold plunge
⚡ Steps always hit
⚡ Learning daily (podcasts, books, education)
⚡ Hyrox-specific coach
⚡ Regular soft tissue & rehab

❌ Excuses gone.

⏩ Fast forward 15 months.
6 weeks out from my first race of the 25/26 season — this time, I feel confident. I’m proud of the body I’ve built.

Will I hit my season goal on Race 1? Nope — and that’s the point.
This is a 9-month season. We have a plan.

🙌🏻 Wherever you are in your journey — keep going. Everyone started somewhere.
🙏🏻 Small, consistent steps matter.
👌🏻 They won’t be perfect, and that’s okay.

➡️ Learn. Adapt. Show up. Put the work in.

Because where I am now… is not where I started ✌🏻

Forever grateful for the community, facilities and support of .fitnessnorwich ❤️
