It’s been a decent week…I’ve actually turned the DVD played off finally and I’ve been getting the blood flowing with some yogging…or it might be Jogging?!  It feels so nice to be out there amongst the clouds and mud.  I’m not feeling too bad so far which is crazy!  I’m even envisaging winning again and I’m [...]

Great shot my Delly Carr!
Everyone is always super quick to write when they have a good race…
No one ever wants to write about the bad times…however, these are the most interesting and I hate it when people cover it all up with smiley faces as professional sport is not like this.
I am currently in bit [...]

I say all this should I qualify again! I know what a ball ache it is to qualify for the Olympic Games and I am also aware you have to be lucky as well but I get more excited about London 2012 every day…
I first learnt that we were awarded the Olympics while having a [...]

I love following this guys journey….
He ran 28:02 solo at the weekend in Trafford for the 9th fastest 10k ever by a Brit!
I knew Thommo a bit from Loughborough, I only ever managed to jump into a few sessions with him but I am pretty sure that he wasn’t any where near as fit as [...]

The day started terribly.
Wednesday morning swim, I hate Wednesday mornings. We swim at 6:00am and it sucks!  It falls right after my Tuesday run session and if I am tired at all when I swim…I can’t swim!

We then had to ride indoors at 10:30am to get away from the snow.  I rocked up, got set [...]

Now that the Mac is up and running, I am loving making the videos:)
Enjoy

Just arrived in Antequerra (Southern Spain) for our top secret British training camp.
I’m rooming with Captain Slug Eyebrows, Aaron Harris again and so far its not been too bad.  Were not on the rocks yet and no real arguments! It is only day one however.

Spirits in the camp are really good, its the biggest camp [...]

On Sunday night I received the terrible news that Pete Holmes, a very close friend of mine and a huge amount of other other people died by a fall while hiking in the mountains in Vancouver.
I first met Pete in one of my lectures (I say lectures, I mean running around hockey pitch). Typical to [...]

A shout out to two of my very good buddies who finished their season yesterday strongly with their main goal in Clearwater 70.3 Worlds.
I think they both had mixed build ups but they did a great job, and not a nice event to suffer through!

Im sure Frasers website will have a proper race report up [...]

I’m really enjoying being back into my training.  It’s probably been the smoothest start I have had so far, which is great because that’s how I need it to continue!  The weather has been amazing recently up here, it’s starting to get cold though but as long as the suns out, it’s a pleasure!
I have [...]

I’m running with Adam Bowden today, 29min boy for 10k!
Todays weapons of choice are as follows!

During the off season Aaron hasn’t just been sitting on his butt.
He has been hitting the club scene and busting out some of the best moves ever seen…Enjoy

Granted, this race has been around for ages.  Most people know about it, but I am really keen to do this this year!
I wonder if I can get round without getting injured or ill!?

I’m going to get on the phone to coach!

Cruising around WHSmiths the other day in town…I discovered I have (I think) my very first front cover on my own on a magazine that you can buy in shops.  It’s a new magazine, I’m sure the sales will go through the roof for this issue!

Flicking through the magazine, Multipower have also been doing a bit [...]

Not long until the next leg of the Dextro World Championship Series, and below is a link to my mini film created by the BBC:
How to win the Hyde Park Triathlon

The swims are getting faster, we knew that anyway…that was before these two rocked onto the scene! Can they really change things?

This is Marco Rivera.  He raced us in the FGP in Dunkerque and a few other races where he was 30 secs off the front of 2nd place.  Guess what, I was watching the [...]

It’s funny! I’m always quick to write something when it’s going well! When it’s not necessarily going well…nothing! Same with a lot of people I think!
London went great at the weekend, I competed at the end of a difficult period for me, motivation wise I felt a bit low, I worked hard in Wales but [...]

Things are on the up for me. I’m currently on a mini training camp down in Swansea, Wales with my coach Rick Velati and my training buddies Aaron Harris and Abbie Thorrington. We’re already well into out 35 hour week, and things are looking great. I’m feeling strong and happy with the start of this [...]

Off to Wales tomorrow with Rick.
I’m looking forward to it I have to say, especially as I’m at Rick’s, I don’t have to do the washing up, laundry, cleaning and when I am not training its chill time…
We have 35hrs planned, I’ve got to say, I think I need it and I need to get [...]
