Back to the land of the living 🌞

I felt rotten getting off the flight yesterday after a week of drinking daily and eating nothing but carbs and fried food.

However, probably for me the worst thing I could have done today is restrict myself massively - skip meals and just try get as much steps as possible.

Instead, I just made sure I had my food sorted for 3 well balanced meals including plenty of fruit, veg, fibre, and protein.

Loads of water, an hour session, 12k steps, and I’m already feeling a lot better - although it’ll probably take a few more sessions to feel fully there.

No weighing myself or tracking calories, or feeling guilty for enjoying myself.

Life in too short for 90% of your headspace to be consumed with negative thoughts around your body, food, and exercise.

Small habits, over a long period of time = key to success.

Runners, read this 🏃

This time of year is prime territory for the development of overuse injuries.

Don’t let the weather make you get ahead of yourself.

Get a plan in place, and build slowly.

If you need anymore specific guidance, give me a shout!

All work and no play makes James a dull boy

Hyrox Malaga, 6 minute PB after a solid 3 month training block - sub 60 next time with another consistent block 🫡

A good blow out every now and again is essential in my opinion - ready to reset and push on again now for the next while 🌞

Day in the life with

The fitness journey took a bit of a redirection last year, with an increased emphasis on running over the past few months 🏃

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll be familiar with my injury history, not being able to run for 8+ years with chronic exertion so compartment syndrome. A LOT of trial and error and rehab over the course of a long period of time has gotten me to the point now where I can tolerate a lot more running, although the volume is still limited.

Buzzing to be able to set a sub-20 5km goal now, and hopefully faster in the future 🏃

Stay tuned for the progress working alongside to help achieve the goal, with a lot of cross training being implemented to account for the lack of running volume 💪

Honour to be a part of the crew 🤝

Spent the most of my teens and early-mid 20s feeling like my body was broken and wasn’t capable of doing difficult things.

A lot of which probably stemmed from being told by a consultant that intense exercise was to be avoided with Ulcerative Colitis and would just add unnecessary stress, advice I’ve heard many individuals with Autoimmune diseases been given from medical professionals.

And that advice is harmful to say the least.

Having an autoimmune disease shouldn’t mean you give up on fitness, it should just be a redirection. Although that direction will look different for everyone.

How hard you can push on a given day will be different. Fatigue will be higher, meaning recovery will be different. Pain levels may be greater. Certain injuries may be more likely.

That doesn’t mean you stop - it’s more of a reason to keep going, to regain some form of bodily independence and autonomy.

11 years on from a diagnosis I thought would destroy my body, but the fittest and most in control of the disease I’ve ever been and proud of it 👊

First time winning anything since the pitch and putt days, iykyk

making the recovery that bit easier 🤝

How well do you know your nuts?

The reality is, the answer for most young men is ‘probably not very well’.

And that is something we need to take into our own hands (pun intended), and make a change!

Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in young men.

However, the good news - it is highly curable when caught early.

The number 1 thing we can do for ourselves is to check our nuts regularly when in the shower - a simple 3 step routine of:
1. Steam
2. Roll
3. Repeat

Get to know what’s normal, what’s not, and contact your GP when you notice any changes at all.

Two paths.

Choose yours.

The answers you’re looking for are in your own head, not at the bottom of the bottle.

Shame is one of the most destructive emotions, don’t let it ruin your life.

Short term relief at the cost of long-term pain is not worth it.
