Are you lifting in the right order? 🏋️‍♂️📊

Optimising your workout structure is essential for maximising gains and preventing fatigue. Organise your training session to get the most out of every movement:

1. Power & Explosive Lifts: Start when your central nervous system is fresh to ensure maximum speed and technical precision (e.g., Olympic lifts, plyometrics).

2. Compound Lifts: Move to multi-joint exercises to build maximum strength and muscle mass (e.g., Bench Press, Back Squat, Deadlift).

3. Accessory Lifts: Finish with single-joint or unilateral exercises to address muscular imbalances and isolate target muscles (e.g., Leg Curls, Lateral Raises, Calf Raises).

4. Core & Conditioning: Complete your session with stability and core work (e.g., Dead Bugs, Side Planks).

Proper sequencing helps you lift heavier, stay safe, and perform at your best.

Summer 2026 Summary! ☀️

Looking back to the end of pre-season, the journey from initial idea back in April to where things are now has come a long way!

Here are the things that have happened to me over the past few months!

🌞 A well-timed, week-long getaway during the 1,000th heatwave
💻 One online client climbed Mount Kilimanjaro!
🏃‍♂️ Hiding in the shade on a regular basis when coaching team sport speed sessions
😁 A happy day in the office
⏱️ Supported individuals and clubs with speed testing
🏖️ Another short getaway
🏟️ Spectating live sport
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Plenty of family time, mostly visiting National Trust sites!
💪 Finalised the completion of my certification by instructing on a course, covering the topics on nutrition and physical training
💻 Presented on my interested in deceleration training
🤣 My training partner doesn’t like it when I’m winning

Are you training hard… or training at the right intensity? 🏃‍♂️

A common mistake in conditioning is simply pushing harder and assuming more effort always means better results.

But effective training is about matching the right intensity to the desired outcome. That’s where Maximum Aerobic Speed (MAS) can help.

MAS is the minimum running speed at which you reach maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max). Once you know it, you can use percentages of your MAS to help guide training intensities and target paces.

In the slides, I break down:

🏃 What MAS is
📊 How MAS can help guide training intensity
⏱️ How to apply MAS percentages to running pace
🧪 Examples of fitness tests that can be used to estimate MAS

The goal isn't always to train harder.

5-star Google Review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The off-season can provide a great opportunity to fine-tune physical qualities that are difficult to develop in-season.
It was a pleasure working with this athlete on her speed work before returning to her club.

🏃‍♂️ Want to stay fast and stay on the field?

Hamstring injuries are one of the most common setbacks for athletes, but they can be reduced with the right approach. This breakdown covers the essentials: perfecting your acceleration and max velocity mechanics, building hamstring strength through targeted movements, and consistently exposing your body to maximal intent.

⚡️ Form + Strength + Exposure = Longevity.
