It’s a very tough time of year for me. 13 January represents three years since my Dad died. There’s nothing I can say or do to change that. It’s not a day to celebrate or mark, but it does represent a day where my life changed forever. Friday 8 January was supposed to be my…

Blog: 8760
8760. I want you to think about that number, 8760. The clock keeps ticking, we get older. Time flies? Not always when we are having fun, but it sure does keep ticking. What is a year… it sounds like a lot, but in reality, a year can pass really quickly. One year 12 months 365…
Midweek Blog + Round Up: 6 January 2021
The turning of the clock happens, it keeps happening. Time is one of the few constants in the world. Sadly, the change of one day to the next does not change the situation we are in. The new year has started with us back in a lockdown, across the entire of the UK. Again we…
Get Active Blog: Adaptation
Adapting your workouts is key to keeping active whilst also factoring in life. Life is messy and is largely out of our control, basically sh*t happens.

Blog: A time to reflect
Happy New Year! I hope 2021 brings good health and happiness to you all. Over the Christmas break, I was watching the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special from 2019 with my wife.

Resolutions, love them or hate, many of us artifically try to change our life on the 1 January each year. They are rarely more than a statement of intent, there is no real planning or depth behind the idea. As we move through January, resolutions often fade from our memory or become a tool to…

Are You Mindful or Mindless?
I read an excellent article over at http://www.medium.com exploring powerful scientific evidence from an addict turned brain scientist. It is a really engaging read with some science in there too. Check out the full article here “Understanding the science underlying mindfulness and meditation can be a powerful motivation for anyone building these habits. But it’s…
Get Active Blog: Christmas
Remaining active is very important to me, and unlike most people around me I do not celebrate Christmas in any signficiant way. Indeed its quite a sad time of year for me personally. I hate how we have Christmas rammed down our throats, be happy and merry or else. I hate this time of year….
Get Active blog: Mind and Body
I’ve finally settled on a name for my exercise blog that launched when I wrote a blog entry on going back to running. This is my Get Active blog. Running has become a great way to help me process my day. I have lots of techniques to process how I feel, and events in life. …
