A beautiful, soft and loving moment between me and my son this afternoon that I want to share with you all.
To every parent out there doing their best, keep going.
5 months in. 500km banked. That’s up 300% on this time last year which tells me everything I need to know about where I was mentally this time last year but more importantly it tells me I made the right call in not giving up on myself and it’s never too late to rebuild from the ground up and go again.
I’m slowly getting there. Finding my rhythm again. Throughout this whole process of slowing down, leaving London, going sober, going through therapy and becoming a dad I’ve managed to find a love and a level of respect for myself that I’ve never had before. It’s a beautiful feeling man.
Whatever you’re aiming for this year and wherever you are on your journey I wish you all the best. Stay in your lane and execute. Believe in yourself and it will all come good.
Another training block complete and more moments raising up our little humans. Grateful for it all.
Milton Keynes marathon on Monday. Race week, fitness is up and I’m feeling relaxed. There’s no pressure going into this one I’m just going to enjoy the distance, run hard and see where I land.

HYROX LONDON OLYMPIA - SOLO MENS PRO
Not the result I was shooting for on the day but plenty of positives to take away and a major lesson learned here. All of the data from Friday shows my compromised running is getting back to previous levels which I’m really happy with. I felt fast and strong but I made one schoolboy error that cost me about 14 minutes, an easy fix moving forward.
Felt great being back out on the pro floor, my last appearance in this division was back in 2023 and a lot has changed since then.
We now move into a 4 week marathon block and some fast summer racing before we dial back in for Birmingham and London later in the year.
We keep the pressure on.
LONE WOLF SOUTH EAST 2026
I arrived searching for more demons and left realising I had none left to find.
10 loops/hours - 67KM
First of all, what an unbelievable event @lone_wolf_ultra / @dynamicadventurescic
Going into this race my target was to complete the full 24 hours and in all honesty, I definitely could have gone all the way. At the moment I decided to walk away from this race I was in a really strong place mentally and physically.
However, after completing my 10th loop (67KM) I had this realisation, this moment where it all finally made sense. I looked over at Celia and Yves and realised I didn’t need to go any further, I was happy with the work I had put in and I was done. I didn’t need to chase demons or take myself to that dark place anymore because everything I am now living for was right in front of me in the shape of my family.
A huge moment and one that will sit with me for a while.
Thank you to my coach @george_b_morris / @onetrack_club
And a special mention to my unbelievable partner @celiaevansmakeup for all of her support during this training block and making race day and fuelling as easy and seamless as possible. I couldn’t have done it without you.
We keep the pressure on.
COLCHESTER HALF MARATHON - 1:30:07
First race of the year and a massive personal win. It’s been a long time since I’ve stood on a starting line. This race was an important one. I am not where I want to be yet but I’m one step closer after yesterday.
I’m happy with the result and looking forward to the next 8/9 months for a big 2026.
We keep the pressure on.

Last weekend I attended my first brand event of the year and it was a big one. A proper team sweat. Shared the room with some beasts, met some great people and had a great weekend.
Huge thanks to the team @thecoutureclub____performance who looked after me and the family all weekend whilst up in Leeds. A real classy touch and amazing hospitality.
