Going into Birmingham with the most athletes I’ve ever taken to an event I was so excited to see what the team could do.. And boy did they not let me down 🥹

We had first timers, PBs, first races of the season and most importantly.. one very, very proud coach!

We started the weekend with who took on the race for the first time, coming home with an impressive 1:12 in his debut, now onto London!

wanted to test the waters before London in 5 weeks time, brought home a PB for himself.. I have no doubt he’s going to smash that in the capital!

It was & .adam’s first race of the season, setting a standard now to go and beat come Manchester in the new year.

Next up another debutant in & , who came into the race with no expectations other than enjoying the environment and setting a standard for Manchester.. and they did more than that, amazing effort from them both!

Up next the gal who loves hyrox more than I do.. but this time doing it with her brother for the first time as a mix and once again doing me proud.. we just need to wait for Bob’s rugby season to be over for the next one..
roe_ up next.. illness may have plagued her all week, but that that stop Case? Absolutely not.. an impressive 12 minute PB, Case is now going onto something different so I’m excited to see how she gets on with that!

dropped the bombshell a couple weeks ago.. with a London doubles on the horizon he thought he’d give solos a whack.. In his own words “a completely different ballgame” but nonetheless still did amazing, and I have no doubt he’ll do another and sub 1:30 next or maybe even 1:20

Last up of the weekend ’s first race of the season! was a 89th minute substitution but the girls did absolutely amazing, we used this as a warm up for Dublin in a couple weeks where Liv will take on her first solos before a relay with myself in London,

& a special mention to my spirit animal .shingler, I couldn’t be there, but she made it seem as if I was 🤣

Appreciate you all, Thank you 💜

I genuinely love what I do and the role I have at events like this.

These pictures captures a race day perfectly, waiting for to come in off his run, slight coaching cues on the row and encouragement on those dreaded burpees.

Nothing is better than watching someone who’s entrusted you with their fitness journey to then go on the dance floor and give it their all.

With myself you’re not just getting a standard plan, a coach who won’t reply for days or an AI robot telling you what you should be doing.

You’re getting someone who is invested in YOU.

You as an athlete; you as a person.

Every step along that journey I’ll be alongside you and in the majority of cases with you on the stage too.

For myself and my coaching ethos completing a hyrox should be celebrated as the achievement that it is, then you have that time to then go and beat.

If you’re ready to take your training to the next level, you know what to do,

Speak to you soon 🤝

What a way to kick off the season! 🇬🇧

took on the race for the very first time and absolutely smashed it out the park 🤩

1:12 for the big lad today 😮‍💨

We went into it expecting nothing and came home with a huge performance!

So now we’ve set a standard, you’re damn right in thinking we’re chasing down that sub 70, but first pro doubles in London!

We will have a full debrief in the week to see what we need to work on but after chatting to Joe afterwards we already have an idea.

One very proud coach, this is the reason I do what I do;

Bring on the rest of the weekend!

My biggest event as a coach to date 👀

The UK race season is here and what a way to start it!

A big contingency heading to the midlands right across the weekend,

Good luck to everyone who’s racing TBTR team or not..

Whether it’s your first, first of the season or chasing down a PB,

Incredibly proud of all of the team’s hard work already, time to shine..

I’m at a wedding this weekend so sadly won’t be there to root on from the sidelines but do believe that I’ll have push notifications on .app for each and everyone of you.

So when you’re in that dark place and need a kick up the arse just imagine me on your shoulder encouraging you to keep on going.

I have every faith in all of you guys, go and smash it and most importantly, enjoy it!

Here we have , who just completed the Manchester Half Marathon,

& in doing so took a massive 19 and half minutes off her time from last year! 👏

Here’s what makes this even better..

Tia hasn’t been training for running specifically.

Her program has been fully tailoured towards her future Hyrox events.

So she’s been focusing on, building strength, endurance, machine work and stations under fatigue.  But that crossover has paid off in a big way.

Hyrox training has built her engine, improved her lactate threshold, and massively strengthened ass aspects of herself.   All of which translate directly to better running performance.

The intervals, sleds, and mixed aerobic work have given her the ability to hold pace longer, recover faster, and keep pushing when things get tough.

And if you know Tia, you’ll know that running isn’t her favourite thing in the world, it’s always been something she’s had to work on.

But this result proves just how far she’s come, both mentally and physically.

She’s shown that even when something isn’t your strong point, with the right training, mindset, and consistency, you can do anything. 
I’m usually a proud coach and this one is just another reason to why I do what I do when I see results like this.  Here’s to the next one! 💪

The first UK race of the season is here 🇬🇧

Very excited and honoured to say I’ve got over 10 athletes travelling to the midlands next week!

Sadly I’ll won’t be there over the weekend but the team have their plans in place and know what to do!

All their hard work over the last months is about to be put on show.

Times aren’t out just yet; but make sure you’ve personalised your tickets before they’re released.

Now the official map is out,

To put it in simple terms,

Apart from the first lap which is 3rd time.. Every second time you see the “IN”.. go in!

Don’t rely on the screens and count your own laps.

If you’re after strategy for the weekend, drop me a message and let’s chat today 🤝

Long time no dump, not this week 🫡

Navigating a back issue with training, no running for now means I’m in the saddle 🚲

Doesn’t mean the workouts have dialled down .jamescoaching still making me work hard 🫠

Speaking of working hard, quite the opposite doing his best to put me off mine.. and it worked 🍌
pt doing his best to ruin my coffee, his presence wasn’t bad enough.. 😂

Secured Glasgow tickets 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A DEXA body scan from Adam which came back a lot more positive than I thought, interested to see where I’ll be once this cut is over 💪🏻

A much needed night off Friday at WHP, immaculate vibes with even better company 🇦🇺

Big job broke down at the following day big things to come there 👀

And a little sneak peak of something to come 🤔

Sometimes the next step is the scariest,

But what if it all works out? 🤔

Keep your eyes peeled for more soon..

Not been great for pictures this week, so no dump.

This week really has been incredibly busy catching up with the team whilst I was away in Rome,

Creating a clear plan for their future races and endeavours.

Whilst also touching base with the athletes who raced in Rome to prepare them for what’s next.

Birmingham, Dublin, Madrid & London are all within touching distance,

With Amsterdam and Manchester on the horizon; the guys are already in full swing with their preps for races.

Are you?

Don’t cross that finishing line thinking:

“Sh*t, I could have done better there.”

Let’s get your plan started, drop me a message and let’s really make a difference 🤝

New month; new classes!

One bloody proud coach this weekend in the Italian capital.

First up we had the newly formed team of & , who brought their competitive edge and honestly gave it their all in some of the hottest conditions I’ve seen.

A brilliantly balanced team who have worked their arses in the lead up to the race, training together throughout and you really could see the chemistry they’ve built on show, time has been set; the girls 100% have a sub 1:20 in them; even a 1:15 in my opinion 👀

Next we had & who returned to the dance floor for the first race of the new season,

Just like myself, we may not have PB’d but it certainly has lit the fire inside them to now top their time from the weekend, first one of the season in the books; onto the next.
roe_ & Tom up next on the Saturday, if we thought Friday’s conditions were hot; Saturday turned it up even more so with 27° 🫠

It didn’t stop the pair looking comfortable throughout and coming away with a very good time in that heat, next up for Case is a solo in Birmingham 🫡

Last up of the weekend for my team was & in their debut both as a team and in hyrox,

As always there was no pressure on them to get a specific time but to go out, give it their all and enjoy it.. to a degree!

And that’s exactly what they did, worked together as a unit, dragging the other through stations and parts that were rough but came out with a brilliant time for their first efforts and now a time to beat!

An all round brilliant showing from the team too.. likes of , & .bedson grabbing themselves amazing PBs,

And the rest of the crew showing up taking over the Italian capital and proving why TF is one of the best gyms for Hyrox in the country.

Sorry to the guys I missed while over here; tried to be as much as I coulenbut following the action it was boss to see!

Onto Madrid 🫡
