Making the most of the sunshine and practicing some Steel Mace Flow as I’m thinking about taking the Level1 Steel Mace Flow Instructor Certification.

Steel mace flow is one of the most effective ways to train the body as a complete, connected system. Unlike traditional strength training, it links the hips, core, shoulders and arms through fluid, multi-directional movement. The offset load challenges your body to stabilise, rotate and transfer force efficiently—building real-world strength, improving posture, and developing a resilient, “bulletproof” core.

It’s also incredible for shoulder health and mobility. The flowing, circular patterns strengthen the rotator cuff and improve control through extended ranges of motion, helping to reduce injury risk while increasing usable mobility. At the same time, it builds coordination, timing and athleticism, sharpening how your body moves rather than just how it looks.

Beyond the physical benefits, steel mace flow brings a powerful mental element. The rhythm and focus required create a “flow state” that many describe as moving meditation—reducing stress while improving concentration and body awareness. It also delivers a serious conditioning effect without feeling like traditional cardio, making it both challenging and enjoyable.

Ultimately, steel mace flow is more than just a workout—it’s strength, movement, mobility and mindfulness combined into one dynamic practice that keeps training engaging, effective, and sustainable long-term.

So today was the big day. I totally surprised myself and completed The Great South Run in 1 hr 46. I managed to run the whole ten miles, which I had convinced myself I wasn’t going to be able to do. I’ve always hated running and since my heart attack last year I’ve done virtually none. I didn’t manage to get out anywhere near as much as I’d wanted in preparation for today, so this is a massive achievement for me and I’m quite proud of myself.
I’d like to thank again everybody who sponsored me and encouraged me. I managed to raise over £600 for The British Heart Foundation.
