How squeezing her glutes helped her walk (again)

I hope you are enjoying a long weekend. I spoke to quite a few of you this week about your plans and it seemed that the garden was the priority. Squires will be doing a roaring trade this weekend (other garden centres are available). I want to talk to you about glutes today, not the […]

How to carry something without hating yourself later

The Easter holidays are upon us. We are joining the masses and taking a trip to sunnier climates..actually wait a minute, it is warmer in West Byfleet than it is on the Algarve, what are we thinking?  The forecast for the first 5 days is rain, rain and a bit of rain. Any way it […]

How trauma hides in your shoulders

The clocks have sprung forward, and it is here. The British springtime’if you had to push me, I do think that it is my favourite time of year. As a fair-weather cyclist, it is great to be able to jump on the bike in shorts and a t-shirt, rather than having to layer up with […]

How to stop the pain spiral!

I ran the Surrey Half marathon last week with my brother, Rory. He is getting ready for the London Marathon in April. It could not have been better running conditions bright blue sky, beaming sun and a crisp morning. It was one of the most enjoyable runs I have done in a while, until about […]

How Las Vegas hijacked our brain

I spent a day in Glasgow this week competing in my first Hyrox race. If you are unfamiliar with what Hyrox is’it is a blend of functional movements and running. There were over 4000 people competing. Talk about a sport taking off, it has grown exponentially in the last couple of years and is now […]

What’s really messing with your cycle?

I have been hands on this week covering in West Byfleet, it has been great to see you all, perhaps not reciprocated by some of you. “I keep seeing your face all over my social media, stop hijacking my scrolling.” The Facebook algorithm works in mysterious ways, but I’m happy we are getting seen in […]

Rucking vs running: The surprise twist

Charlotte and I have just returned from a trip without the kids. Charlotte’s parents very kindly looked after them whilst we had a trip away. It was great to not have to worry about the little ones and have some daytime naps. I’m very keen on reading, especially when we used to go on holiday. […]

Why is no one talking about menopause?

This week has been a busy one at our house with both kiddies having their birthdays. Florie turned 4 on 16th February and Kit yesterday on 22nd February. I’m due to referee today at Kit’s football birthday today, wish me luck. We managed half term, with a big finale on Friday with a trip to […]

The shoulder trick that shouldn’t work (but does)

I managed to drag one of the nursery Dad’s to a Hyrox session this morning. For those that don’t know, Hyrox is a cross between running and some functional movements, like wall balls and a sled push. It is a more basic version of Crossfit, so if you are into class-based exercise, I would recommend […]
