Hyrox/Hybrid Masters Athlete
Trail Runner I am BACK training clients at the V & A
Waterfront Marina's private gym.

The facility is only available for residents and tenants. I have a large number of international Personal Training clients who return to the Marina Residential every summer. I've also trained some crew and family members of crew from various movies that were shot in Cape Town.... Maze Runner 3 and Critters to name a couple. I also do Personal Training at homes on the Atlantic Seaboard and offer outdoor training sessions in the nearby parks.

Sunday Trail Run... a mixture of solitude, nature, feeling free and training for Cape Cobra Trail Marathon 🐍 🐍 10k whilst it also doubles up as my weekly long run for hyrox/hybrid events.

If you'd like to have quality of life in later years and get off the floor like Doug at 79 (opening clip), you have to continously and consistently challenge yourself with "difficult tasks".... from monkey bars at 50 (Diana in final clip) to everything else inbetween as demonstrated by some of my incredible clients ranging from age 65 to 83.

πŸ“’ listen to the whole clip... its not magic, it's science!

Awesome 14.5km/649m ↗️ round-trip via Vlakkenberg Peak at the Cape Cobra Trail Marathon 🐍 Recce Run this morning!
So nice to reconnect with the other trailrunners whom I haven't seen for a year and happy to know that I can still somehow keep up!
See you all at Race Day 🐍 in October...
Thanks to the crew from REVIVE | Daily Electrolytes for supplying the post run electrolyte replacement and I can now confirm that the new LITCHI flavor is officially worth all the hype that surrounded it's launch πŸ’ž

I've forgotten how much fun it is to run fast down the Lion's Head jeeptrack while jumping over the well maintained trenches en route!
A spectacular winter's day on the trails of Lion's Head and Signal Hill and I'm looking forward to spending more time back here for the next few weeks!

One week after HYROX_CPT, I feel recovered and can confirm that "sled push legs" can most definitely handle the climbs on a trail!

What a sensational race weekend by HYROX South Africa who truly brought the spirit of Mzanzi to town!
A flawless operation by the Hyrox SA team and volunteers!

After 5x HYROX RACES (3x solo, 2x doubles) packed into the past 4 and a half months (CPT_STHLM_CPT) I'm going to take a few weeks of just easing up on the intensity and spend a bit of time running some trails and train without pressure to perform.

Thanks to everyone who's played a part in me achieving goals I never thought was possible.
πŸ“Team The Yard Athletic Cape Town for Saturday Hyrox Classes, community and a bunch of youngsters who push me to try and keep up with them!
πŸ’¦ REVIVE | Daily Electrolytes for years of rehydration support, kit and much more.

Ready to let it all go as we kick off the 2026/27 HYROX Season at HYROX South Africa πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ CAPE TOWN this weekend!
My "seasonal" lines are a bit blurred having raced a mere 7 weeks ago, but I actually enjoyed just packing on another 6 weeks of solid training on top of it.

Give a πŸ‘πŸ‘Œ if I'll see you there!
