Today was the day was back racing post broken elbow and wrist. A big day to see if even holding onto the bike for 3 races was possible ahead of next weekend - at the track she broke both arms at, Whiteway Barton.

Using this race day as a practice session, allowed Ellie to see what pace she has and to try and maintain her results from 3rd at the first 2 rounds.

Good day across the board with putting in some great rides too. Onto the next 2 rounds of girls nationals and things are looking good and with winter training schedules coming together too.

THE MIRROR DOESN’T LIE.
BUT IT DOESN’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.

Do you like what you see in the mirror?

Not just the reflection.

The person looking back at you.

For 17 years, I’ve worked as a chef. I’ve learned that great results don’t happen by accident. They come from showing up, putting in the work, getting the basics right, and doing it consistently — even when you don’t feel like it.

Training is no different.

Running. Cycling. Strength. Personal training.

You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to smash every session. And you certainly don’t need to compare yourself to everyone else.

You just need to become a little better than the person you were yesterday.

Because eventually, you look in that mirror and realise something has changed.

You’re fitter.
You’re stronger.
You’re more confident.
You’re capable of things you once thought were out of reach.

And that’s the real goal.

Not just liking what you see in the mirror — but being proud of who you’ve become to get there.

If you’re ready to put the work in, I’m ready to help you.

🏃 Running
🚴 Cycling
💪 Personal Training
🔥 Endurance Coaching

Show up. Put the work in. Become the person you want to see in the mirror.

HOW TO BUILD ENDURANCE 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Endurance isn’t built by going hard every day.

It’s built by teaching your body to keep going when the effort feels easy, controlled and sustainable.

Here’s how:

1. Slow down to go further.
Most of your training should be at an intensity where you can hold a conversation. Easy running. Easy riding. Commuting is a great way to incorporate this into your training week. Build the aerobic engine first.

2. Be consistent.
One huge session won’t make you fit. Weeks and months of consistent training will. Aim to stack good sessions rather than chase heroic ones. You have to show up!

3. Increase gradually.
Add distance and training load progressively. Your fitness can improve quickly, but your muscles, tendons and connective tissue need time to adapt.

4. Fuel the work.
If you’re training for endurance, you need to practise using fuel. Carbohydrates before and during longer sessions can help you train harder, recover better and learn how to fuel on race day. No matter your dietary situation.

5. Recover seriously.
Fitness is built from the combination of training + recovery. Sleep, easy days and sensible training weeks aren’t optional — they’re part of the programme.

6. Add some intensity.
Easy doesn’t mean only easy. Once your aerobic base is developing, strategically adding tempo, threshold and interval work can improve your ability to sustain faster speeds.

7. Be patient.
Endurance is a long game. Don’t judge your progress from one session. Look at what you can do consistently over months.

The goal isn’t to survive one massive session.

The goal is to become the athlete who can run and ride further, faster and stronger — without falling apart.

Build the engine.
Build the habits.
Trust the process.

That’s endurance.

WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY RUNNING FROM?

For a lot of endurance athletes, the barrier to coaching isn’t ability or motivation.

It’s what coaching can represent.

More pressure.
More sessions.
Less freedom.
The expectation to get everything right.

But good coaching shouldn’t add more stress to your training.

It should remove the barriers that make consistency difficult.

Training that adapts to real life.
Strength that supports your endurance.
Structure without losing flexibility.
Accountability without judgement.

Because getting better isn’t always about doing more.

Sometimes, it’s about making the right things easier to do consistently.

What are you running from?

After nearly two years of building AK Coaching & Fitness, I’m incredibly excited to officially open the doors to my online coaching package.

This isn’t a generic training plan or a copy-and-paste approach.

I bring 17 years of experience as a chef, working across hotels, restaurants and private healthcare, including adapting meals around different dietary needs, health conditions and nutritional challenges.

Alongside that, I’m a national-level time trialist and endurance athlete in cycling and running — so I understand what it takes to train, fuel, recover and perform.

🚴 Cycling
🏃 Marathon
🏃 Half marathon
🏃 10K
🏃 5K
⛰️ Hiking and mountaineering
📉 Weight loss goals

Whether your goal is performance, weight loss, better health, injury return, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in everyday life, your coaching is built around you.

Your package can include:

📈 Personalised training programmes & progress tracking
🥗 Sports & performance nutrition support
💬 Ongoing one-to-one support
🏋️ Sports-specific coaching & personal training
⚡ Access to sports nutrition from brands including STYRKR, OTE & Pelotan
🤝 Collaboration with sports professionals for injury rehab & sports physiotherapy
🎯 A plan designed around your goals, lifestyle and ability

No two athletes are the same — so why should their training be?

Whether you’re chasing your next PB, preparing for your biggest event yet, looking to lose weight, or simply wanting to live life a little better, I’m here to help you embrace progress.

🔥 ONLINE COACHING IS NOW LIVE.

Being fit is not the same as being mountain fit. 🏔️

You can have a strong squat, a good 5K time and plenty of gym experience — but the mountains demand something different.

Mountain fitness means being able to:
⛰️ Climb for hours without fading
🎒 Move efficiently under load
🦵 Handle steep ascents and brutal descents
💪 Have the strength and stability to deal with uneven terrain
🫁 Maintain a strong aerobic engine when the effort keeps going
🧠 Stay resilient when fatigue starts to build

The goal isn’t just to look fit or perform well in the gym.

It’s about building a body that’s capable of performing when the environment gets demanding.

That’s where strength training, endurance conditioning and smart programming come together.

Train for the demands of the adventure — not just the gym.
