Picked a bad day to have a bad day - one of my worst hyrox performances since I started 18 months ago.

Deep down I knew this was coming.

In a sport that’s progressing at a rate of knots, if you under prepare you’ll get found out. You can’t just battle on and grit your teeth if you want to be near the top.

I can’t help but me mad at myself for not taking the time to sort my injury out earlier in the year and mustering through training for 6 months - I paid for it. But the caveat is I might not have been here 🤷‍♂️ at all.

The only saving grace is no way can I bow out on that performance, 61st in the world in cat, not how I would let it end.

Time to enjoy Sweden with our friends, family and team.

Then it’s time to let my body heal and come back being able to put my best foot forward.

It’s not over yet - see you in Hong Kong 🫡

Tomorrow we travel to Stockholm, Sweden for the Hyrox World championships as a team.

It seems a good time to say thanks to those who have got behind this years campaign.

Firstly to our staff and team at the Core Group. You define the mentality of one in all in. That’s not just for this trip but everyday at HQ, we are always right behind each other.

To our members The CORE Gym for getting behind everything we do. You make running the gym so easy as everyday been around you all is a pleasure, thanks for bringing the energy and drive to the building everyday. You have supported all our athletes so much.

To all my family who support me as an athlete and everything that comes with it. The highs, the lows and everything in between, it’s not easy and I am grateful for the support.

Our local sponsors this year:

Factory FIT
Stonegate
CDY
Sweeting Bros

Your support towards this trip and to helping us become the best version of ourselves is so gratefully received 🙏.

For me personally, this years race is one big roll of the dice and a potential farewell to elite level racing (injury dependant), but as with everything I’ve ever competed in, I’ll race as if it’s my last anyways 🫡.

All in.

It’s going to hurt and I can’t wait for it.

You’ll miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

People see the race photos, finish lines, post training session pictures and results. They don’t always see everything that happens around being an elite level athlete in a niche endurance sport.

The constant juggling act between being a business owner, a father, a partner, and somehow still finding time to train at an elite level to compete at the top end of any sport takes it out of you. I’m not a full-time athlete. Most of us aren’t. I’m trying to do this while being present for the people who matter most, my family, my staff, my business and our customers. Fitting training into the gaps, carrying stress from business into sessions and showing up exhausted and sore more often than I would like to admit. There are days when I am totally in the bin and beat up. I could skip the session, lower the standard. To accept that I am just too busy and my body is failing me. But that’s not how it works round here - it never has. My parents didn’t teach me that mentality.

Big events, races and achievements are a reminder to myself and everyone around me that hard things are worth pursuing. That these moments come from showing up when others wouldn’t.

I am building our brand with and our team for the benefit everyone who is involved in it, I carry this responsibility with me everyday, it can be heavy but it’s about managing the pressure. With the added stress of training, that pressure feels greater at times.

I want my children to see what it takes, and the young children who walk through the door every week The CORE Gym - these are our next generation and they need to first understand the attitude and mindset of what it takes should they want to pursue similar outcomes.

It’s exhausting but I won’t moan about it because I love the outcomes it brings and I chose it, but it’s important to highlight the realistic challenge of it all.

Competing is my life.

6 days time 🇸🇪.

One last dance, , always.

How have I kept in relatively good hyrox shape, with only being able to run 13 miles per week?

I recently got asked this question a few times after some recent posts.

Since December, most people know I’ve been dealing with a chronic hamstring tendinopathy, which has severely hampered my ability to run.

However, in that time, I’ve still managed to consistently hit 60-62 minute hyrox pro solos and a 53 minute doubles times.

Here’s how I did it?

1. Remove all aerobic running work for cross training.
2. Run 1 key threshold run workout every other week, rotating the threshold work with the bike but keeping the same stimulus.
3. Use lactate in the run sessions to properly dial the sessions in and get maximal benefit from them.
4. Use very short bursts on the curved treadmill as compromised running during hard hyrox workouts, just to maintain mechanical load and neurological pathways.

Am I in peak run condition? Hell no. But I am in a position to at least be able to compete in some fashion at a world championship. My background as a sports scientist and performance coach has been a real benefit in this circumstance.

In this last training block my LT2 has actually moved from around 3:52 to 3:48per km. It shows at key parts of your training periodisation, volume isn’t always king.

I’m fully aware this can’t be maintained, and if it wasn’t for the worlds, I would have decreased the load more and probably the tendon would have healed quicker.

But I’ll deal with that in 10 days time 🫡

Set new goals.

Chase them with everything you have.

Repeat 🔁

The goals can change but the commitment level never does.

In the world of fitness your best route to success will always be “show them”.

Great outing with the and team for some hyrox relay fun.

Had to wake the pins up to 3:20 pace and after 2 mins at 1:38 pace on the ski had me questioning the mornings life choice but that’s where the fun is.

Took the W with a great set of lads .fitness and against some strong teams.

Thanks to team for putting on a great event and as always the fitness community comes together to get behind everyone.

As always my little support crew we’re right behind us 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Awesome few days in Barcelona 🇪🇸

Came here to post a Worlds doubles spot but fell short.

4th in cat 53:50.

Lost the sled routlette on pull and just didn’t have the run legs which stopped us from getting closer to our 52 minute goal.

No regrets, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Time to focus on the singles in 5 weeks time.

Great company .fitness
Great location 🇪🇸
Great food 🍱
Great trip ✅

Back to see the fam then back at the farm in the AM 🫡.
