I have an awful lot of voices going on in my head all the time. These voices are between me and myself – oh and you now! You see, just because I write these emails and make videos etc about nutrition etc doesn’t mean I don’t have my own struggles. These feelings and voices are […]

Yep, I’ve been there. Like all athletes – I’ve been injured. And it is frustrating as hell. All you want to do is get out there and train, get faster, maybe shift a few pounds but most of all feel like you are getting somewhere. Then you feel it. The conversation in our heads goes […]

I don’t like swimming in cold murky lakes. I don’t like tomatoes. I didn’t used to like Green Tea. I don’t like the thought of really tough training sessions – I do like the feeling afterwards. I didn’t used to like the thought of standing in a room full of people and doing a talk […]

Apparently Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. The tiredness that often accompanies a Monday, whether it be from excess training, excess drinking or worse still both, makes it a day of survival.

It truly was a massive **** up! You see, I got taken in……… I believed the hype. I believed that what people told me was true. That I could transform my body in 6 weeks. But what happened after those 6 weeks? I can tell you:

Some people seem to have endless social engagements at this time of year, I am not one. It’s not that I don’t like Christmas, it just seems I don’t get invited to much stuff. Perhaps its my age! I’ve literally got one social gathering arranged pre christmas and thats not until the 19th – So, […]

I don’t like the dentist so I don’t go. Simple. Anyway I went the other week after my wife told me I was setting a bad example to the kids. Turns out everything is ok apart from a massive build up of plaque so I was booked into the hygienist. OMG – as the kids […]
