Daily Habits – Get Outside
When I was gym based it was easy to move, I was surrounded by kit and toys. I could walk down the staircase and I was out in the Great Wide Open. And boy did I appreciate that. Nowadays it is all rather different. I have had to make a new habit. One that drives …
Socca, a Gluten Free Flatbread Recipe
One of the first purchases we made, once we were allowed out of the after isolation in the middle of March, was a huge 5kg bag of gram flour. It was the only flour I could find anywhere, so needs must. We cooked some delicious bahjees, and the bag was promptly forgotten. Alone and unloved …
Good Guts? Week 2
Giving Gratitude to My Meals Are you grateful? Having already written about gratitude last week, it has become rather evident to me how spoilt we are, and how soft that makes us. Our house has had no heating for a week, and by Friday the hot water had gone too. A disaster for some, but …
Your Failures Do Not Define You
2 years ago I had to walk away from the gym that was my second home, and had been for 13 years. Less than 3 months months after that I was walking away from a shared studio that suited neither of us. Lockdown brought my business to the brink. Covid still means I haven’t returned …

Intervals – Year 3, Week 4
Definitely cooler this week, the sunny spells helped it to feel nice, whilst still being cool enough that over-heating wasn’t an issue. Having said that, breathing has not been easy for a couple of the attendees. It may be late season allergies, or perhaps you are just a little run down. If you don’t feel …
My Love of Van Halen
Christmas Day 1984. That was when it started. Somewhere in my parents house there will be a photo of me posing with my gifts. All I remember is a paperback of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, a dark green spray canister of ‘Jockey’ deodorant (Why would a 12 year old boy want that?…), a …
Your Workout Does Not Have To Be Hard
You may have heard the hooha across the internet last night after a PureGym posted a workout for Black Lives Matter that was ‘as hard as slavery’. I am here to shout from the rooftops that “WORKOUTS DO NOT HAVE TO BE HARD TO GET RESULTS!” Why? Because the vast majority of the population simply …
