Easter week has caused me to change my routine around. Last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I did my gym sessions and was going to do my 3 running sessions down where we were away. The running sessions have been going so well over the last few weeks, then on Thursday, 3km in, felt my calf - gutted. Stopped and that was followed by sickness and diarrhea - I've done absolutely nothing since. Crappy 5 hour journey back yesterday, had my first eff it moment since working with James. The Domino's Pizza last night tasted good. Going to refer back to James's stronger mind post of last week, because that is what I need now. Feeling a bit down after the last few days and I think it's put paid to what we were working towards next month. Had a good night's sleep, physio session later. Reset and go again.

Shout out to @Lauren Fox this week Not only has Lauren smashed her first marathon and few weeks back did amazing in a half.....and now 4 weeks away from another And...been getting leaner She is also getting a HELL of a lot stronger in the gym, and when we started Strength sessions were just the to help the running It's just very exciting to see some one smashing their goals, but then also smashing an area that wasn't a main goal And she is doing this by getting in there and getting them done, even going in early so she can make sure it happens (busy days make it harder, so putting herself first) Annnnnd, this is a big one. She sends at least 3 videos from each workout to get pointers on technique Amazing progress so far, can't wait to see more coming 💪💪💪💪

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how performance isn’t just physical. I love working on strength, fitness and pushing limits in the gym, but mindset is just as important. I used to be someone who was shy and lacked confidence when I was younger. So over the years, I’ve done a lot of work on that side of myself. And after a breakup last year, it pushed me even deeper into that journey. One thing I’ve realised The work never stops. Just like training… you don’t “finish” building strength. You don’t “complete” your fitness. Mindset is the same. There’s always another level. Always more to learn about yourself. To grow. To improve. To get closer to the person you want to become. One thing that’s helped me massively with this is reading. A book I always recommend is Atomic Habits by James Clear, if you haven’t read it yet, it’s a must. But if you have read it, I’ve just started another one: Shut Up and Move On by Paul McGee I’m only halfway through, but honestly… I’m loving it. It ties in perfectly with fitness, performance and lifestyle goals, especially if you’re working on discipline, resilience, and moving forward instead of overthinking. If you’re serious about improving yourself (not just physically, but mentally too), I’d highly recommend adding it to your list. Remember…..growth isn’t a phase. It’s a lifestyle.
