Recovery isn’t linear.

Neither is the mood.

Some days the win is simply turning up.

Thankfully, I’ve got an incredible wife helping me keep my head in the game on the tougher days.

Recovery has a way of humbling you.

From marathon training and heavy gym sessions to celebrating 1kg dumbbells.

Not exactly the plan for 2026, but grateful to be moving forward one step at a time.

So… Chester Half Marathon didn’t exactly end how I imagined.

About 15 yards from the finish line, my foot landed awkwardly in a dip. Rolled my ankle, my knee followed, and instantly I knew something was seriously wrong.

Hospital scans confirmed a snapped femur and dislocated shoulder. Surgery the next day, and I’m now the proud owner of a metal rod down my leg… airports are going to be fun 😭✈️

Honestly, this is going to be a tough adjustment. Anyone who knows me knows how much fitness, training, and movement are part of my life, so having that taken away for a while is going to take some getting used to.

But I’m grateful it wasn’t worse, grateful surgery went well, and really grateful for all the messages and support ❤️

This isn’t how I wanted the race to end, but it’s the start of a very different challenge.

Rehab starts now — hope you’ll follow along for the journey.

“You’ll probably get better fat loss results if you stop training fasted”

A lot of people train fasted because they think it burns more fat.

But in reality, fat loss still comes down to your overall calorie deficit across the day/week — not whether you ate before your workout.

For most people, having some carbs before training means:

• More energy
• Better performance
• Stronger sessions
• Better recovery

And when you’re properly fuelled, you can usually train much harder than when you’re running on empty.

If you train first thing in the morning, you don’t need a huge meal beforehand. Just something light and easy to digest.

Pre workout ideas (30–60 mins before):

• Toast or bagel with jam
• Banana + honey
• Rice Krispy square
• Rice cakes with honey or jam

During longer or harder sessions:

• Water + electrolytes
• Lucozade Sport
• Gels for running/endurance sessions

After training, focus on protein + carbs for recovery:

• Protein shake + rice cakes
• Greek yoghurt + granola + fruit
• Eggs on toast
• Then a proper meal like salmon + rice or chicken + potatoes

You can still create the calorie deficit needed for fat loss across the rest of the day — while actually giving yourself enough fuel to train properly.

Busy gym? No problem.

You can get a full body session done in 30–45 minutes using just a landmine.

This session covers:

• Squat (landmine squat)
• Hinge (single leg RDL)
• Push (kneeling chest press, shoulder press)
• Pull (landmine row)
• Plus core and arms to finish of course

The landmine is one of the most versatile setups in the gym. It’s stable, joint-friendly, and doesn’t require much space, which makes it ideal when everything else is taken.

SAVE for later

5 things I’d fix instantly to become a better runner:

1. Have something to aim for:

5K, 10K, half marathon… or even just a consistent month—just have a target.

2. Recovery isn’t optional:

Rest days, sleep, easy runs… that’s where your body actually adapts.

3. Fuel properly:

Before: carbs for energy
During: fuel longer runs to maintain performance
After: protein + carbs to recover
Underfuel = underperform.

4. Track your runs:

Pace, distance, heart rate—gives you something to improve from.

5. Run with good people:

You’ll stay way more consistent when you’ve got people around you that push you and hold you accountable (and you enjoy it).

“Success doesn’t protect you from burnout.”

Stop negotiating with your body.
It’s keeping score, whether you realise it or not.

Every skipped workout.
Every late night.
Every “I’ll start Monday.”
They all compound, just like interest.
Except this debt doesn’t hit your bank account.
It hits your energy, your focus, your confidence…
and eventually, your health.

If your 30s were about building momentum,
let your 40s be about maintaining it —
physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Because what’s the point of success
if your body can’t keep up with the life you’ve built?

You’re not chasing six-packs or PBs anymore.
You’re chasing energy to lead your business,
patience to show up for your family,
and resilience to handle whatever life throws your way.

Health isn’t a luxury anymore.
It’s what gives you time, clarity,
and the ability to keep doing what you love
with the people you love.

Start treating your body like the only asset you can’t replace.
