Is 2026 YOUR YEAR???

👉First marathon
👉First triathlon
👉First ultra-marathon
👉Chasing a PB....

Whatever your goal and challenge might be, if you're a little uncertain about how to structure and progress your training in pursuit of your goal(s), then a BESPOKE training plan made just for YOU, could make all the difference in the world.

✅ Made exclusively for YOU, around work, family, etc
✅ Delivered via the trusted TrainingPeaks platform
✅ Reviewed and produced on a WEEKLY basis for optimal effect

I keep in mind that you are an AMATEUR athlete, doing these things for fun and not to pay the bills. As such, I will NOT train you into the ground!

So, whilst I won't be training you like you're a professional, you WILL be receiving a professional service :)

Please get in touch if interested ready for a JANUARY 2026 start.

Also, PLEASE SHARE if you think a friend of yours might be interested. Thank you.

👉POSSIBLE NEW SERVICE FOR 2026 - HOME PHYSIOTHERAPY👈

✅ Mobility
✅ Falls
✅ Post-op / illness Rehabilitation

I am considering a HOME PHYSIOTHERAPY service for 2026. This will be a limited service of one day per week for the elderly who are genuinely unable to make it to the clinic or for whom home-physio rehabilitation is most suited before being able to progress to the clinic.

I'm just gauging interest at this point, so if you have an elderly relative or friend who you think might be interested in this service, if you could let me know, that would be great.

Many thanks,
Ian

Last day of our holiday. When it's raining but your hot-tub is undercover, it's actually pretty amazing!
Back to reality soon so making the most of our final few hours 😫

I'm SO glad that I adopted this approach several years ago.
I'd spent several thousand pounds over the years being taught how to 'fix' people as they lay on the couch.
These short-term benefits at best left me feeling pretty deflated, until I embraced the emerging research that advocated helping patients by making them stronger...I know it seems obvious now but it was a large shift in mindset for me.

Some PROPER YouTube influencers for you...

A great little film here with many life-lessons, with the track & field lady's thoughts on 'aches and pains' and the swimmer's method of dealing with 'negative people' being especially helpful 😊

Well worth a watch 💪

What does it take to become an athlete at 70, 80, or even 90? Five older Americans prove that it’s never too late to start and that exercising “is the most p...

When I'm older I want to be like Jim! 😊
Getting strong NOW means you're more likely to live a more fulfilled and independent older age 💪

I'm away from work next week so keep an eye out on updates for booking info regarding my new novice-friendly group strength training sessions w/c Monday 17th November 👍

Investing in my 'strength pension' on a Sunday evening 😊💪

Started with flat bench press, now onto the squat machine and I'll finish off with a back exercise.

My future self will thank me for it 😘

Strength = the currency of life.

UPDATE ON WOMEN'S GROUP STRENGTH TRAINING SESSIONS....
AND WHAT TO DO IF INTERESTED;

Hi everyone

I've had three successful test sessions now (two with the fabulous runners from Rebel Runners and another with fellow workers at Queensway Business Centre) which has helped me to figure out how I want to run the group strength sessions.

For now, I will be focusing on creating the following women-only groups;
* Runner-specific Strength Training
* Over 60s Strength Training
* Open-age Strength Training

More groups will hopefully follow, but for now, I'm focusing on the above.

WHAT TO DO IF INTERESTED;
As I'm using my business FB page to promote these group sessions, I will offer spaces in the sessions to those who have clicked FOLLOW on my FB page.

I'll be making updates as and when I'm in a position to announce dates and times for the sessions.

Remember, these sessions are for those with NO / MINIMAL experience of strength training, to help you see that there is nothing to fear and LOTS to be enjoyed! :)

🌲🌲 the BIG loop: It's like a loop ... but it's bigger🌲🌲

On the 18th of April next year, we will be setting up a ten mile course through the heart of Sherwood Pines and letting you take on; one, three, five, seven or ten times, either as a solo runner or in a team.

This will be our first run with this format, but you can expect a Backyard Ultra style HQ up in our events field and all the support that you could shake a stick at!

https://rasselbock.co.uk/event/the-sherwood-big-loop/

~ Running events in the midlands UK
~ Casual running for all runners with tougher challenge runs every now and then.
~ Nottingham Running events and forest trail runs.

The aftermath of a couples strength training session!
I absolutely LOVE introducing people to strength training, especially those who have no idea just how strong they are.

The highlight of today was seeing the fab lady deadlift 70kg. I never tell people the weight they're lifting, and simply focus on helping them go a tad heavier each set 🤏

If you'd like help being introduced to the best thing you can ever do for health and independence, then book in via www.mcbridephysioandperformance.co.uk
