Don't overcomplicate things.

Real food, whole food, tasty food, healthy food.

My feed is full of 'healthy' snickers alternatives that require you to blend and freeze stuff for hours, and will be liquid in your hand after 2 seconds at room temperature.

Oh, and sure it's healthier than a snickers if I eat 100g of it but let's be honest, that 3000kcal tray is lasting a day at best

Having nutritious food that tastes good raw makes healthy living easier. It fills you up, nourishes the body and saves time.

I have to reassure clients all the time that they don't need to be afraid of fruit because of the sugar content; sure, a smoothie is a lot of sugar. Ideally we don't drink too many calories, but if you're not going to get your fruit and bag without a smoothie, then drink a smoothie.

Preferably, drink the smoothie WITH your breakfast, not AS your breakfast. Have a bit now and a bit later.

Ideally, eat whole fruit. The best way is with some protein and healthy fat too (nuts... Seeds... But whatever you like), because we should always be thinking 'what does my body need? What does my body want?', instead of being driven by convenience or habit

I'm no expert but... move

Eager to learn, willing to change and absolutely hilarious. Martin has been so fun to work with, and takes his training seriously even if our messages aren't 😂

Coached totally online, we check in most days by WhatsApp and have regular video calls. There's a shared plan, and we're both flexible when we have to be.

If you would like to have a chat and see if coaching is right for you, give me a shout 😁

Motivation follows action.

When I run group coaching sessions, I ask for people's expectations of themselves and from me, and people are always expecting me to motivate them...

I do my best, but I won't always be there by their side; you have to generate your own motivation through results, and it's simple (simple, not easy):

1. Start small. Little wins give you the boost that will push you on to bigger things. Don't waste energy on the big goals now, you need it to get started.

2. Make it easy for yourself. Create an environment that simplifies the process, and break it down into chunks; every mini success (goals that are quick and easy-ish to smash) will spur you on to the next, and momentum builds.

3. Be kind to yourself. Let the failures go and give yourself credit for the wins. Sure, if you can learn from a bad experience then great, but don't waste energy on the past; you need it for the future.

Give me a shout if you need some motivation or accountability; I have small amounts available to give away from time to time.

I injured my knee last July and it's been a loooooong rehab. I help people rehab for a living, but the looks I get when I'm giving advice say 'you don't know what I'm going through buddy'.

I do! And I'm tentatively coming out the other side, I think.

Should you exercise with a cold?

Could you be hampering your progress (not being able to recover and adapt to the stress)? Making yourself more sick?

Or should you just quit whining and get on with it?

My stuffy thoughts

Do you give yourself a hard time? I'm one of the mad people in London that actually talks to people out and about, so I used it as a cheesy way to get into something serious I know a lot of people struggle with..

Negative self talk can become the norm and it's harmful; if you saw it in an abusiveve relationship you'd be appalled, but then go and do it to yourself every day.

Like anything, we can create a positive self-talk habit with practice. F**K ME ITS NOT EASY, but rewarding stuff often isn't.

REPETITION REPETITION REPETITION (repetition) is the way, and if you f**k it up, get back on it asap - that's it.

Best of luck

Love you xx love yourself xx

Can't make your habits stick?

Piggy-back on existing habits, then everything gets easier with repetition. For example:

- Squats while brushing your teeth
- Calf raises while boiling the kettle
- Box breathing every time you kids ask for ice cream 😡

Overtraining, pushing too hard and doing too much, too soon.

Anything that hampers recovery or consistent training will hold you back.

Adaptation will mostly happen in recovery, so make sure that you are only putting your body through an amount of stress it can handle!

Work, family, illness, drugs, lack of sleep etc. all need to be taken in to account as well.....

My running journey really got going with charity events. I wanted to raise money for the Institute of Cancer Research after my Sister, Mum and Nan had all received amazing treatments developed out of their work.

One of those events was a London to Brighton 100k, and the plan with this training run was to re-run that route backyard stye; with enforced stops every 5 miles to train myself to stop/start, micro-nap and eat proper food (I'm a gel man). I also wanted to recreate running tired, so planned on heading out on only a few hours of sleep.

I'd been ill all week and convinced myself that I could get away with just reducing the distance a bit, but really I should had reduced it by a lot; maybe the whole lot....

I felt terrible, I got cramps (very rare for me), my Garmin nav crashed, and I developed some horrendous hip pain. Bad day.

Hopefully my body will get some stimulus from the 41 miles but it doesn't feel likely tbh! I will however get some mental callousing and have learned a few lessons, which is kind of the point of these harder sessions; you take the data, learn and move forwards.

It was great to be back at the Royal Marsden, where the ICR has a base, and I've done a load of charity work over the years.

And i still mostly run in my ICR vest, which is still going strong and not even that stinky!
