WELL… THIS SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME I’ve gone and done it. On 22nd August 2027, I’m taking on ATHX Individual. 🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Am I ready? Absolutely not. 😂 Can I currently smash out a lovely comfortable 3K run? Also no. Do I know what my max lifts are? Nope. So naturally, I thought entering a fitness competition was the sensible next step. 🤦‍♂️😂 But there is actually a reason I’m posting this… ACCOUNTABILITY. I’ve got just over a year to turn myself from “run a bit, walk a bit, question my life choices” into someone capable of getting around an ATHX competition. So if you see me trying to quietly forget I ever mentioned ATHX… REMIND ME OF THIS POST. 😂 22 August 2027 ATHX Individual Challenge accepted. Here we go…

Being even slightly dehydrated can drop your strength and focus without you noticing. Your muscles are around three quarters water, so when you run low, performance dips and you often mistake thirst for hunger. A glass when you wake and one before each meal covers most of it. It is the cheapest performance boost there is. Do you drink to a plan or only when you remember?

Hi everyone. How are you all getting on? How did we get to Saturday again? Time is flying by. Hope you all have an awesome Saturday x

Hey Guys, How are we all 👊 Time to hear from the team How’s life How’s training I want to hear what’s been happening with you all Live event being planned as we speak 😎 Have a good day everyone 🏆

So, my probably-ADHD brain has talked me into another challenge with my work colleagues. Nothing quite as mad as cycling from London to Amsterdam this time, but we've committed to collectively walking, running and cycling 1,000km between 7 August and 7 September to raise money for Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity once again. The distance will be shared across the team, so it's definitely a challenge, but one that feels achievable. The thing is, just setting this up has already lifted my mood. I've realised I'm someone who always needs a challenge, something to focus on, and something to look forward to. Without that, I can end up feeling a bit lost. So, alongside raising money for an incredible cause, I'm hoping this gives me that little bit of purpose and momentum to carry me through each day over the next month. Wish us luck. 💜
