There are places where everything just makes sense.
moving through mountains, exploring new ground, and finding that connection with nature that’s hard to describe is where I wanna be
an adventure, exploration, and a constant test of discipline and potential and I like that , a lot .
trusted, exceptional and very cool gear that lets me thrive in any condition so the focus stays on the journey.
Proud to keep representing what I believe in and thanks to @thenorthfaceuk for another exciting year ahead.
Forever grateful

A few days of movement, good people, sea air and slowing down
Away Resorts are launching Run Away Retreats //
This run retreat with @awayresortsholidays × @retallackcornwall was such a reminder of how important the social and community side of adventure really is. From group runs and coastal walks to cold water dips and conversations over coffee , it was one of those weekends that leaves you feeling reset. Expertly led by @garyhouse_
The accommodation at Retallack was seriously impressive too , spacious, high quality and perfect for groups of running friends, retreats or outdoor communities wanting to stay together without feeling cramped.
The running and walking trails right on the doorstep were unreal, with routes suitable for every ability. Whether you’re there for big miles or relaxed morning walks, there’s plenty to explore.
And when it came to recovery, the yoga and breathwork session was exactly what everyone needed to properly unwind after active days outdoors thanks @fitbirdsfitness
Then there was the FlowRider surf simulator… absolute barrels of fun
If you’re after an active group getaway with a balance of adventure, recovery and community, this place nails it.

It’s not often I get to spend some quality time with my brother these days, as we are both pretty busy, so evenings like these are just what we need, a good catch up and some sharing miles on our doorstep in the peaks
Time together, sharing miles in our homeland. We certainly like to share a beer now and again and our favourite new choice is the @luckysaintbeer Lime & Sea Salt Lager + Electrolytes. Great tasting, 0.5% AVB and really helps to support my recovery on and off the trails.

Spanish Island days
Took a few days to unwind, found some trails, coves and sunsets to die for…
Just before that I had the privilege of following 🎥@victoriastansfield who tackled the @mallorca312 , and she bossed it, taking 2nd female 💪
Safe to say, I was more nervous about handling fuel to her as she passed for the last section (camera in other hand ) 😅 🚲
Mallorca is beautiful

I battle this question out a lot to other runners and people in this space - is BIGGER, BETTER in your eyes?
I beg to differ -
I see so many newbies join this space and feel that each race they take has to be bigger and longer , than the last.. 👀
I , personally feel (just my opinion) - that this is a recipe for disaster …. Generally speaking
This again, for me, I’d rather a long game in running than a short lived crippled one …
Get better at a distance , hone in on it, mitigate simple mistakes , get fitter , get mentally and physically in tune and see and feel measurable improvements.
Don’t just chase bigger and longer numbers - I respect those chasing improvements , not miles necessarily.
What are your thoughts? Agree or disagree ? Cue a barrage of comments…. 🤪

I’m proud that my work is starting to take me to some incredible places , with incredible people, but I’ve never really taken advantage and added on a few days at the back end of a work trip, but this time , I did….
Majorca is beautiful (ok , way too many MAMILS in cafes) , but….. these few days were bliss

Hire car upgrade - can confirm the waggon was good
