Sleep Sabotage
Are you getting enough sleep? It seems to be a constant question in life. Knowing how much sleep you need seems to be a major learning curve for us too. For me its about 7.5 hours, which took me several months of practice and analysis in 2020 to figure out. Late nights can be a…
What is the bad habit you gave up that’s made you a better father?

The no-drug approach to mild depression
I read an interesting article on the Harvard Medical website around approaches to managing depression without a need for drugs such as anti-depressants. Each individual’s symptoms are different and the treatment approach is for the individual. I’d always recommend talking to a medical professional or doctor etc. As some one who has experienced depression a…

Today I’ve had to take an extra rest day, after weeks of higher intensity training, the muscle soreness has caught up with me… significantly.
