You can’t control exactly how long you’ll live. But you can influence how well you live….

Every strength session, every walk, every nourishing meal, every good night’s sleep is an investment in your healthspan - the years where you’re strong, capable, independent, and able to say “yes” to life.

That’s a future worth training for.

I’ve been a bit MIA on here lately.

No excuses. But also… plenty of them.

There have been a lot of moments of wondering why I’m doing this, who I’m doing it for, and whether I actually have anything worth saying.

I’ve had zero ideas, even less capacity to think of ideas, and a whole lot of “this is all about me” and honestly, I’m a bit bored of me.

If I’m being completely honest, a lot of it has been driven by the blanket of beta-blocker haze I currently seem to be living under. Everything feels a little slower, a little flatter, and creating content has felt surprisingly hard.

Meanwhile, life, clients, training, family and just getting through the day have continued as usual.

So, if you’re still here following along, thank you. And sorry for the radio silence.

I’m still here. Just moving through a season where showing up online has felt harder than usual.

Another trail run in the bank.
I had no idea there’d be so many river crossings… definitely a new challenge.
Stunning scenery, a happy face, and a whole lot of gratitude for what this body can do.

The things that support us best in midlife often aren’t the flashy things…
It’s sleep.
Stress management.
Mental and emotional wellbeing.
Good nutrition.
Moving more in everyday life.
Then, on top of that foundation, comes resistance training to help keep us strong, capable and independent for the years ahead.
We spend so much time looking for the “best” workout, plan or hack… but the basics are usually what move the needle most.

Midlife health isn’t built from the top down.
It’s built from the ground up.

Before we chase “optimal,” we need foundations that actually support us:

• Less Stress + More Sleep
• Emotional and mental wellbeing
• Good fuel
• More incidental movement
• Resistance training to futureproof the body

Strength training matters - especially in midlife - but it works best when the layers underneath are being looked after too. Rest and recovery, nourishment, movement and the health of your nervous system aren’t extras… they’re the base of the pyramid.

You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You just need to keep building from the bottom up.

Turns out that “flat battery” feeling on beta blockers is incredibly common - especially when you’re someone used to feeling capable, energetic, active and driven. They deliberately slow the system down: heart rate, adrenaline response, sometimes even that internal “go” signal.

For someone who thrives on movement and momentum, it can feel like someone’s turned the dimmer switch down on your whole personality.

And the frustrating part is that physically “safe” doesn’t always feel mentally or emotionally good.

I understand why beta blockers exist.
I appreciate what they protect. But it doesn’t stop me hating how they make me feel.

Rant over.

Just when I started to feel like myself again… everything stopped.

Not another SCAD - thankfully.
But enough to leave some heart muscle damage.
No answers. Just uncertainty.

And that’s the hard part.

A few weeks ago I was dreaming big again - longer trails, bigger hills and events.
Then suddenly… I wasn’t so sure.

I haven’t been told to stop.
I can keep going.
But it shook my trust.

I ran 12k and felt amazing…
then two days later, standing still, I felt off - enough to end up in ED.

That sticks with you.

So today, I tested it.

Slow walk up the hill.
Fully prepared to turn around at any point.

But I didn’t need to.

It felt good.
Better than I expected.
And on the way down… the little downhill trot was still there.

Not fearless.
Not “back to normal.”

But a bit of trust restored.

So for now - I keep it simple.
Listen. Adjust. Take the next step.

The hill is still there.
And today, it felt like mine again.

Actually feeling wildly f*cking proud after today’s 12km trail event.

I probably should have spent a bit more time warming up… both muscles and heart. Instead, I got carried away with the excitement and launched straight in. Rookie move. I know better.

I was hoping to keep my average heart rate in the 150s, but it landed at 161… and honestly, I’m choosing to blame adrenaline for at least some of that 😅 I went more by RPE and felt like I was sitting around a 4/10 most of the way, maybe peaking at a 6. I slowed down when I needed to, checked in with myself constantly, and even videoed myself talking mid-run just to prove I was still at conversational pace.

At one point, I got a bit emotional. The views. The trails. The quiet. The fact that I was out there doing it. The fact that after everything, I’ve found something I genuinely love again - and more importantly, that I’m able to do it.

I still can’t quite believe I had a heart attack. But I refuse to let it be the thing that stops me.

Today was 1 hour 45 minutes of muddy shoes, happy legs, and a very full heart. It honestly didn’t feel that long because I was enjoying every single step. I crossed the finish line feeling fresh, which feels like a pretty good sign that maybe… there’s a whole lot more in me yet.

Not competing.
Just completing.
And quietly dreaming bigger.
