HELEN’S JOURNEY! THE NEXT CHAPTER 🏃‍♀️

If you’ve been around Easy St for a while, you might remember Helen’s story.

Well… we’ve got an update.

Helen has now set herself a
BIG new goal. London Marathon 2027. 🏅

And this time, we’re doing it together.
Helen will be taking on London alongside me, raising money for the amazing EY Foundation.

But before we even think about 26.2 miles around London next April, there’s another milestone coming first… Her first ever half marathon. In just 2 weeks, Helen will be lining up to run 13.1 miles, something that would have seemed a long way away when she first started.

Anyone who knows Helen knows about her ruthless consistency to her training along side a very busy work schedule.

You will find Helen on both sides of the clock here at Easy ST. With her PT session in the AM before work and then pilates & bootcamp in the PM. Because she can’t stay away 😉

There’s been a huge amount of work put in behind the scenes to get her to where she is now. From her strength program with me, her rehab from niggles with & the constant hard work on the weekends to push that little further than she ever has before running.

After the half marathon, Helen is going to clock off for the summer with a well-earned 2-week holiday in Greece 🇬🇷☀️ before we tackle the main block of training for LDN 27

Training doesn’t have to mean being perfect all year round. Enjoy the holiday. Eat the food. Have the drinks. Relax if she can

Then we get back to work.

Because after that, the real target starts…
Let’s see what you’ve got, Helen. 👊

Slow and steady back to running after a niggle that turned into more than a niggle.

About 4-6 weeks of rehab and I’m eventually getting back out pain free. It might only be 2km at a time but that is more than I could manage 4 weeks ago while I was hobbling about.

Got to keep moving forward now and get the serious training in ready for LDN Marathon 2027

“You don’t mop the floor when you haven’t stopped the leak yet”

Many of my clients have heard that over the years and 9/10 it hits home because it makes
complete sense when you think about it in terms of fitness/nutrition.

Why are you worrying about the finer details when you haven’t got the basics in place.

Why are you concerned about what time you eat when you’re still not in a deficit?

Why are you bothered if you did an extra exercise when your whole workout wasn’t intense enough to grow in the first place?

Fix the leak first. Then let’s concentrate on the finer details.

These are the fundamentals you learn when you start training with me. I won’t sell you the next best supplement and sell you lies. I will give you the tools to completely change your understanding on how fitness works

Progress doesn’t require perfection. Just keep showing up, doing what you can, and stacking the small wins. Your motivation will always find you again if you keep showing up

Something is always better than nothing.

POV: You thought you were just doing 3 sets…

Set 1: “My name is Ged…” 😁
Set 2: “My name is Ged…” 😐
Set 3: “My name is Ged…” 😭

Increasing the weight each set because apparently we like making things unnecessarily difficult for the sake of a reel

At least he didn’t make set 1 look difficult 🤦🏼😂

You don’t need to eat as strictly as possible to reach your goals. In fact, for most people, trying to be “perfect” with food is exactly what makes it harder to get there.

Yes, your nutrition matters.But eating well doesn’t mean every meal needs to be perfectly balanced, every calorie needs to be tracked, or that you can never have a takeaway, dessert, a few drinks or a meal out. It means having a way of eating that works with your life, not against it.

🥩 Eat enough protein to support muscle, recovery and keeping you fuller for longer.
🥦 Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to support your health, digestion, energy and micronutrient intake.
🍚 Eat enough carbohydrates to fuel your training, performance and day-to-day life.
🥑 Include healthy fats to support overall health and keep your diet satisfying.
💧 Stay hydrated and make the basics consistent.
And then…

🍕 Have the pizza.
🍫 Have the chocolate.
🍺 Have a drink with your mates.
Because those foods don’t suddenly undo everything you’ve done.

The physical benefits matter.
A balanced, sustainable diet can help you improve body composition, build and maintain muscle, fuel your training, recover better, regulate your appetite and support your overall health.

The mental benefits.
You shouldn’t feel guilty because you ate something that wasn’t on your “diet”.
You shouldn’t feel like you’ve failed because you went out for dinner. You shouldn’t spend your week thinking about food, restricting yourself, then eventually overeating because you couldn’t maintain the rules you’d created.

And you shouldn’t have to choose between making progress and enjoying your life.

The goal is to create an approach to food that you can actually maintain.Because the best diet isn’t the one that gets you to your goal fastest.
It’s the one that gets you there without making you hate the process and gives you the habits to stay there afterwards.

I went out this weekend and ate what people would say is bad, I had a few drinks and enjoyed myself. Then come Monday morning I picked up my routine and got straight back to what I know. Im not in my own head about it. I enjoyed myself and had a great weekend
