I want to shout out a duo of amazing performances recently @Steven Meanley who is quite a way into his performance journey And @Kaia Williams who has just been starting out It's amazing to see when people work on passing past what they thought their limitations were @Steven Meanley has completed the Philadelphia Half Marathon again and smashed a new record for him self 2:00:19 the first time and this year around hitting and amazing 1:56:51 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 And @Kaia Williams has her first Half Marathon coming up very soon Flying over to Manchester to complete the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run And recently achieved her longest run ever so far with just over 12km....or she would say 8miles being from the US 😉💪🏽 But both amazing results....so far 💪🏽💪🏽 Well done Team 🥳🥳🥳

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how performance isn’t just physical. I love working on strength, fitness and pushing limits in the gym, but mindset is just as important. I used to be someone who was shy and lacked confidence when I was younger. So over the years, I’ve done a lot of work on that side of myself. And after a breakup last year, it pushed me even deeper into that journey. One thing I’ve realised The work never stops. Just like training… you don’t “finish” building strength. You don’t “complete” your fitness. Mindset is the same. There’s always another level. Always more to learn about yourself. To grow. To improve. To get closer to the person you want to become. One thing that’s helped me massively with this is reading. A book I always recommend is Atomic Habits by James Clear, if you haven’t read it yet, it’s a must. But if you have read it, I’ve just started another one: Shut Up and Move On by Paul McGee I’m only halfway through, but honestly… I’m loving it. It ties in perfectly with fitness, performance and lifestyle goals, especially if you’re working on discipline, resilience, and moving forward instead of overthinking. If you’re serious about improving yourself (not just physically, but mentally too), I’d highly recommend adding it to your list. Remember…..growth isn’t a phase. It’s a lifestyle.

Probably not the most exciting post you'll ever read, but having seen where @James Pace has holes in his trainers, I was curious to know where you other runners experience wear and tear first. For me it's not the soles, nor the toes but what I guess you'd call the ankle supports. A gait issue maybe 🤔

Not because I’m heavier. Not because I’m leaner. Because I’m more capable. 💪 At 30 I trained to look good Now I train to perform Back then I chased aesthetics Now I chase output ⚡ The 30 year old me wanted to look the part The man I am now wants to achieve and execute Longevity isn’t accidental It’s built through progression 📈 Strength that lasts....strength that impresses But here’s what matters most When I first started training properly, I had no idea where it would lead I couldn’t have imagined running a 100km ultra That wasn’t the goal The goal was just to get better One session One week One training block at a time Most people never discover what they’re capable of because they never stay consistent long enough to find out And this is where it applies to you Get clear on your reason why Not the surface one. The real one Then focus on the basics Tick the boxes Train properly Recover properly Fuel properly When you struggle, ask for support That’s not weakness. That’s commitment Because this isn’t about today It’s not even about this year It’s about the version of you 10 years from now Build that person now Progress deliberately And you might end up achieving things you can’t even imagine yet. 🔥
