Before and after! So good to be back at @fairhavengarden for swimming last night. Dragged @kianjgmedia along to get some action shots - even had @buffy3105 guide me a bit. The best bit / MY WETSUIT FITS STILL! First wetsuit swim is always a test of weight management! No problems @huubdesign 😂😂 It was beautiful out there filming content for my @blindfocusrs YouTube but I was glad for my @dryrobe by home time! #openwaterswimming #openwater #swimming #wetsuit #triathlontraining #paratriathlon #visuallyimpaired #blind #retinitispigmentosa #focus4fitness #blindfocusrs
Sport has always been a huge positive in my. It can be a powerful tool in boosting self-confidence! Whether it’s through setting and achieving goals, building physical strength, or working as part of a team, sports can help us believe in ourselves and our abilities. Sometimes it’s hard to overcome insecurities and to see the awesomeness that others see. But sport can provide so many ‘Whys’, beyond finishing a race or getting a medal. Getting out there and doing it when you have no reason to do it other than because you are lucky enough to be able to should be enough come rain o shine! So lace up those trainers and hit the road, field, court, or gym - your confidence will thank you! 🏀🏈🏋️♀️ #playsports #selfconfidence #believeinyourself #focus4fitness #blindfocusrs
Post workout last night. Taking care of your body is so important for every part of life. @lorensearss loves the gym as well which is good for me!!

The face you pull when the email says your wife entered you for the @londonmarathon without asking you first 😂😂😂😂 Luckily I never get in………. Good luck tomorrow everyone 🏃 #londonmarathon #londonmarathonballot #runners #focus4fitness #marathon
MEDAL MONDAY! So yesterday we did a thing. Rocked up to the Oulton Park duathlon and just did the British Paraduathlon Championships. We knew I’d be slow with my lack of running over winter so running the lot on a trapped nerve was my aim. Also, being race 1/5 in the Super Series we just wanted to get any points rather than no points. And racing in my new kit @triharderuk, we wanted to see improvements from our last race in August and we knew the bike and transitions were going to be the targets. 1. Stepped up our transition with having my shoes on the bike. 2. Definitely a stronger bike section showing gym work paying off. Eye opening day for @andy25runner and I but lots to take away and get working on. 4 weeks until East Coast Triathlon #triharder #focus4fitness #medalmonday #retinitepigmentosa #paratriathlon #disabilitysport #superseries #triathlon #duathlon #supersprint
Another beautiful Saturday ride done in preparation for next week’s race. Hit some good speeds, did plenty of dead stop and starts and had a good laugh doing it. @andy25runner top work mate! #triathlonteam #triathlontrainning #paratriathlon #superseries #brittri #visuallyimpaired #blindsports #tandemcycling #focus4fitness #blindfocusrs

🌙💪🐶 Did you know that getting enough sleep is not only crucial for your well-being and plays a key role in improving your health and fitness? 😴🌈 Here are some key benefits of sleep: 🌟 Muscle Recovery: When you sleep, your body repairs and rebuilds the tissues that were worked out during your exercise sessions. This means faster recovery. 🌟 Boosts Metabolism: Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can slow down your metabolism, making it harder for you to reach your fitness goals. So, make sure to get those Zzz’s to keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders. 🌟 Cognitive Function: When you sleep well, you wake up feeling refreshed, alert, and ready to tackle the day. Plus, a good night’s sleep enhances your focus, memory, and decision-making skills, which can be incredibly beneficial for your workouts and overall productivity. 🌟 Hormone Regulation: When you’re sleep-deprived, your body produces more ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and less leptin (the hormone that signals fullness). This imbalance can lead to increased appetite and cravings, making it harder to stick to a healthy diet. Prioritising sleep can help you keep your hormones in check. 🌟 Mood and Performance: Sleep plays a significant role in regulating your mood and overall performance. A well-rested mind and body are more likely to have a positive outlook, increased motivation, and improved athletic performance. Sleep is not a luxury; it’s a necessity for your health and fitness journey. So, set a bedtime routine, create a sleep-friendly environment, and prioritise those precious hours of rest! 💤💪🌟 #sleep #sleepypuppy #sleeping #healthandwellness #healthandfitness #sleephygiene #salukipuppy #focus4fitness

Had a great coaching chat with @bunny_antics about her last couple of weeks of training and Heather mentioned ‘trusting the process’ again and how it had helped her to take the pressure off her running. Fantastic coaching point. Trust the process, my friends! It's not just a mantra, but a way of life. It's about believing in the journey, even when the destination isn't in sight. It's about embracing the ups and downs, knowing that each step, each stumble, each victory is leading us to where we need to be. It's about patience, resilience, and faith. So, let's trust the process, because the magic is truly in the journey. #trusttheprocess #positivity #lifejourney #running #runcoach #focus4fitness

🌟 Hey friends! Winter is here, and while it brings cozy sweaters and hot chocolate, it also brings those pesky winter illnesses. But fear not! I've got 10 awesome ways to keep those germs at bay and stay healthy all season long. 🌬️❄️ 1️⃣ Boost your immune system with a balanced diet full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Fuel your body with the good stuff to fight off any unwanted bugs. 2️⃣ Stay active! Exercise not only keeps you fit but also helps strengthen your immune system. So, bundle up and enjoy some winter activities! 3️⃣ Wash your hands regularly. This simple act can do wonders in preventing the spread of germs. 4️⃣ Keep yourself hydrated. Sip on warm herbal teas, hot water with lemon, or even some delicious soups. Staying hydrated helps your body function at its best and keeps those winter bugs away. 5️⃣ Get enough sleep. A good night's rest is essential for a strong immune system. So, snuggle up under those cozy blankets and let your body recharge. 6️⃣ Don't forget your vitamins! Vitamin C and D are especially important during winter. Grab some citrus fruits or consider a supplement to give your immune system an extra boost. 7️⃣ Stay warm and dress appropriately for the weather. Layer up to protect yourself from the cold and avoid catching a chill. 8️⃣ Avoid close contact with sick people. If your friends or family members are feeling under the weather, give them some virtual love and keep your distance to stay healthy, where possible! 9️⃣ Keep your surroundings clean. Regularly disinfect commonly touched surfaces like door handles, light switches, and your phone. A clean environment means fewer germs lurking around. 🔟 Lastly, don't forget to take care of your mental health. Winter blues can sometimes bring us down, so make sure to engage in activities that bring you joy and surround yourself with positive vibes. Remember, winter can be a magical time, and with these tips you'll be able to enjoy it to the fullest without any pesky illnesses. Stay healthy, stay happy, and let's make this winter season one to remember! ❄️🤗💪🏼 #winterwellness #stayhealthyandfit #wintermagic #focus4fitness
Motivate Monday with this post kindly written with the permission of @jenkinsmatt87 . I coached Matt for his recent crack at a 3 he 5 min time @chimarathon . Training went perfectly then 2 weeks out, a calf tear. We did everything we could and he rolled the dice. Half way on target pace then bang. 3 hrs 42. Very respectable but not what Matt wanted. Sadly things don’t always work out. We must come again. But how do you deal with disappointment? 1. Reflect and learn: Take time to identify any obstacles, mistakes, or areas where you could improve. Use this as a learning opportunity to adjust your approach and set more realistic or specific goals in the future. 2. Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself and avoid self-criticism. Acknowledge that setbacks are a normal part of life and that everyone experiences them. Treat yourself with understanding and compassion, just as you would support a friend who didn't achieve their goal. 3. Focus on the progress made: Instead of dwelling on what you didn't achieve, shift your focus to the progress you have made so far. Celebrate the smaller milestones and accomplishments along the way. Recognise that progress is not always linear, and setbacks do not negate the progress you have already made. 4. Set new goals: Use the experience of not achieving a goal as an opportunity to set new, revised goals. Break them down into smaller, manageable steps and create a plan to work towards them. Ensure that your new goals are realistic, specific, and aligned with your values and priorities. 5. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or a mentor who can provide encouragement and guidance. Sharing your experience and feelings with someone you trust can help you gain perspective and find new motivation. 6. Stay positive and resilient: Maintain a positive mindset and believe in your ability to overcome setbacks. Cultivate resilience by focusing on your strengths, staying optimistic, and reminding yourself that setbacks are temporary. #focus4fitness #runcoach #setbacks #injuries #dealingwithdisappointment #runners #copingstrategies #comebackstronger #marathontraining

🌟 The Importance of Self-Care 🌟 I love a cheeky shave at the barber!! If you are ever in Heartsease, give my man Ayham @ayoo_redone he’s got some skills with his shavers and blades! Hey friends! 🌸 Let’s take a moment to talk about the incredible power of self-care and why it’s so important in our lives. 💪✨ Self-care is all about prioritising our own well-being and nurturing our mind, body, and soul. It’s not selfish; it’s totally necessary! 🌈💖 When we practice self-care, we recharge our batteries and become better equipped to handle life’s challenges. It’s like giving ourselves a big, warm hug! 🤗💕 Remember, self-care can take many forms. It could be as simple as taking a bubble bath, going for a walk in nature, or indulging in our favorite hobbies. Whatever brings us joy and relaxation, let’s make time for it! 🎉🌿 By taking care of ourselves, we become more resilient, happier, and better able to support those around us. It’s like putting on our own oxygen mask before helping others. 🌟💪 Let’s embrace the power of self-love and treat ourselves with kindness and compassion. 🌸💖 Take a moment today to do something special just for you. You deserve it! 🌈✨ Sending you all love and positive vibes for a fantastic weekend🌟💕 #selfcarematters #loveyourself #youdeserveit #focus4fitness
Luckily I don’t do archery or golf!!! 🏹 Lots of people asking what the differences are between the visually impaired classifications. Mine arrived today. B1: Athletes will have no perception of light or may have some perception of light and the ability to detect movement, but they will be unable to recognize shapes. B2: Athletes will have significantly limited vision, either in terms of distance or width of their visual field. This category includes the ability to count fingers or read something at a very short distance. It also includes athletes whose visual field is greatly reduced, even if their visual acuity is higher. B3: Athletes will have greatly limited visual acuity and/or a restricted visual field. B3 is the highest category used in most international and Paralympic sports. The recreational classification system of British Blind Sport is the only one that includes B4 and B5 sight categories. This allows more athletes to participate in local and national sports on an equal footing. B5 is the highest level of sight used in Visually Impaired Sport. If an athlete surpasses the threshold for a B5 classification, we can often provide them with a 'Visually Impaired Athlete Certificate' for use in open competitions. To ensure fairness and consistency, British Blind Sport adheres to the sight classification guidelines established by the International Blind Sports Federation. #blindsports #britishblindsport #paratriathlon #disabilityawareness #blindspot #retinitispigmentosa #focus4fitness

#throwbackthursday 5 years ago we met Jonny Peacock MBE at Superhero Triathlon. Jonny Peacock MBE is a British Paralympic sprinter. He was born on May 28, 1993, in Cambridge. @04jonpea is known for his success in the T44 category of sprinting, which is for athletes with below-the-knee amputations. He gained international recognition when he won the gold medal in the 100 meters at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, setting a new Paralympic record. he has since continued to excel in his sport, winning multiple medals at various international competitions. In recognition of his achievements, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2013. JP is also known for his advocacy work and raising awareness about disability and para-athletics. QUITE AN AWESOME PHOTO!! #parasport #paralympian #london2012 #focus4fitness #triathlon #swimbikerun #superheroseries
📢 Today, I wanted to shed some light on a topic that @lauraweightman1 talked about on my course. It is crucial for athletes and active individuals to be aware of: RED-S, also known as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. 🏃♀️🏋️♂️ RED-S is a condition that occurs when an individual's energy intake is insufficient to meet the demands of their physical activity. It affects both males and females across various sports and can have serious consequences on health and performance. 🚫⚡️ Here are some key points to understand about RED-S: 1️⃣ Energy deficiency: RED-S is primarily caused by an inadequate energy intake, meaning the body doesn't receive enough fuel to support its energy needs. This can lead to a wide range of health issues. 2️⃣ Hormonal disruption: Insufficient energy intake can disrupt hormone production, affecting the menstrual cycle in females and leading to hormonal imbalances in males. This can have long-term consequences on bone health, fertility, and overall well-being. 3️⃣ Performance decline: RED-S can significantly impact athletic performance. Decreased energy availability can lead to reduced strength, endurance, and coordination, making it harder to achieve optimal results in training and competitions. 4️⃣ Psychological effects: RED-S can also have psychological implications, including mood disturbances, decreased concentration, and increased risk of developing disordered eating patterns or eating disorders. 5️⃣ Prevention and treatment: Education and awareness are crucial in preventing RED-S. Athletes should prioritise adequate energy intake, balanced nutrition, and regular monitoring of their overall health. Seeking professional help from sports medicine experts. Remember, RED-S is a serious condition that can have long-lasting effects on an athlete's health and performance. Let's spread awareness and support each other in maintaining a healthy balance between physical activity and proper nutrition! 💪🥦 If you have any questions or want to share your thoughts on RED-S, feel free to comment below. Let's keep the conversation going! 👇😊 #redsawareness #focus4fitness #athletehealth #talkaboutit #relativeenergydeficiencyinsport
Got home from graduating my British Triathlon course to an envelope from British Triathlon - weird. Opened it to find @andy25runner and I had been given the bronze medal!

July 2016. Unreal descending in the French Alps. Col du Galivier - absolute beast!! I love a Throwback Thursday trip down memory lane. 😊 Looking back can be beneficial in certain situations. It allows us to reflect on our past experiences, learn from our mistakes, and gain a better understanding of ourselves. By looking back, we can evaluate our progress, set new goals, and make necessary adjustments to improve our future outcomes. However, it is important to strike a balance and not dwell too much on the past, as it can hinder our ability to move forward and focus on the present. 👀 #focus4fitness #throwbackthursday #memorylane #alpes #coldugalibier #france #frenchalps #beautyandthebeast #cyclist
2 years ago I was 40 and heading out on my stag do in Norwich. Seeing this memory pop up, got me thinking about how much my health has changed In that time. I am healthier now even though I’m older. 🌟 Age is just a number, and it's never too late to prioritise our health and well-being! 🌈✨ Let's embrace the power we have to take care of ourselves, regardless of our age. 💪💚 It's never too late to start making positive changes. Whether it's adopting a healthier diet, incorporating exercise into our daily routine, or simply taking time for self-care, every small step counts! 🥦🏋️♀️🧘♂️ Let's focus on the amazing things our bodies can do and the resilience they possess. Our age should never limit us from living our best lives and feeling our absolute best! 💃🌻 Together, we can inspire and motivate each other to live our healthiest, happiest lives at any age! 🌟💚 #ageisjustanumber #focus4fitness #healthmatters #embraceyourjourney #liveyourbestlife #positivevibesonly
🥦🍎 Importance of Nutrition for YOUR Health 🥕🍇 Nutrition is not just about counting calories or following fad diets; it's about nourishing your body with the right nutrients to support its optimal functioning. Let's dive into the importance of nutrition in maintaining a healthy lifestyle: 1️⃣ Energy Boost: Proper nutrition provides the necessary fuel for our bodies to function efficiently. By consuming a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, we ensure a steady supply of energy throughout the day. So, say goodbye to those mid-afternoon energy slumps! 2️⃣ Disease Prevention: A well-balanced diet can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Nutrient-dense foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that strengthen our immune system and protect us from harmful free radicals. 3️⃣ Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is not just about appearance; it's about overall well-being. Proper nutrition helps us achieve and sustain a healthy weight by providing the right nutrients in appropriate portions. A balanced diet, combined with regular physical activity, can help prevent obesity and related health issues. 4️⃣ Mental Health: Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and magnesium play a vital role in brain health and can help reduce the risk of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. A healthy diet can also improve cognitive function, memory, and concentration. 5️⃣ Strong Bones and Teeth: Calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus are crucial for bone health, while vitamin C and vitamin A support healthy teeth and gums. Including dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods in your diet can help keep your skeletal system strong. Remember, nutrition is not about strict diets or deprivation; it's about making informed choices and finding a balance that works for you! 🌱💪 #focus4fitness #nutritionmatters #healthylifestyle #nourishyourbody #wellness
#medalmonday reflections on a perfect race weekend. New swim and run tethers (red and white laces) worked a treat! @andy25runner and I broke the cardinal rule: don’t try anything new on race day. We did and it worked a treat! Once again, thank you @thearcticonefoundation and @brittri for having such a brilliant event! Still buzzing!! #arcticonefoundation #brittri #focus4fitness #paratriathlon #parasport #blindathlete #retinitispigmentosa #superseries #etondorney #triathlon
So today @andy25runner and I raced at @thearcticonefoundation Para Tri British Champs. Fantastic race at Eton Dorney. Absolutely loved it - and rounded off an epic swim and bike with a seasons best 5km in 28:15. Just a mad day racing with world champion and British Triathlon elite para athletes. More photos to come but thank you so much for the support and love - I intentionally kept it quiet until we’d finished but we’ll be at paratriathlon super series next year for sure! Special mention to @carlmacecyclinguk for getting the bike running like a dream and to @lorensearss for allowing me to pursue my dream. #focus4fitness #brittri #paratriathlon #britishchampionships #etondorney #arcticonefoundation #triathlon

📢 "Everything in moderation." While it may sound like a sensible approach to life, it's important to understand that this idea might not always be the best strategy for our overall well-being. 🧐 🍔🥗 When it comes to our diet, the notion of "everything in moderation" suggests that we can indulge in any type of food as long as we do so in moderation. While this may seem reasonable, it can lead to unhealthy eating habits. Consuming junk food, sugary drinks, or processed snacks in moderation can still have negative effects on our health, such as weight gain, increased risk of chronic diseases, and reduced energy levels. 📺📱 While it's true that technology has become an integral part of our lives, excessive use can have detrimental effects on our mental and physical well-being. Spending too much time on screens can lead to sedentary behaviour, disrupted sleep patterns, eye strain, and even social isolation. Instead of relying on moderation, it's crucial to establish healthy boundaries and find a balance between screen time and other activities. 🍷🚬 While it's commonly believed that moderate alcohol consumption or occasional smoking is harmless, research suggests otherwise. Even small amounts of alcohol can have negative effects on our liver, heart, and overall health. Similarly, any level of smoking poses serious risks to our respiratory system and increases the likelihood of developing various diseases. 💤🏋️ While it's important to find a balance between physical activity and rest, relying solely on moderation might not be the most effective approach. Regular exercise is crucial for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Getting enough quality sleep is equally important for our overall well-being. Simply aiming for moderation in these areas might not provide us with the optimal benefits that consistent exercise and sufficient rest can offer. 🌟 It's essential to evaluate different aspects of our lives to ensure we're making choices that promote our long-term health. 🌈💪 #focus4fitness #wednesdaywisdom #moderationisnotkey #takecontrol #besmart #healthychoices

What a final BIG week of training! Great to have Pat and Janine @fairhavengarden on Wednesday, effort swim at Coltishall Mill Saturday morning before Pilates with George @bodywerxstudios . Now, roll on to Dereham 5km with Andy and my legs were wrecked. The wife left us at the start and @bunny_antics overtook us at 3km. I might have sworn at her to get her butt moving and I’m pleased she cracked her 30 min target by 3 secs!! Well done Heather. Another great run by Pat. I rolled in at 30:23 - I blame @georgeclarkfitness_ !! Final swim done 1925m Sunday evening. Taper, race Saturday. @andy25runner LETS GO!!!!! #mondaymotivation #focus4fitness #triathlontraining #paratriathlon #swimming #cycling #running #pilates #funwithfriends #britishchamps #huub
🧘♀️ Benefits of Meditation 🧘♂️ Did you know that Hugo was 8 last week? He attributes his good looks in old age to regular meditation! Incorporating meditation into your daily routine can have numerous positive effects on your overall well-being? 🌟 Here are some incredible benefits of meditation that might inspire you to give it a try: 1️⃣ Reduces stress and anxiety: Meditation is a powerful tool to calm the mind and relax the body. By focusing on your breath or a specific object, you can alleviate stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of inner peace and tranquility. 2️⃣ Enhances mental clarity and focus: Regular meditation practice can improve your ability to concentrate and stay focused. It helps declutter your mind, allowing you to think more clearly and make better decisions. 3️⃣ Boosts emotional well-being: Meditation cultivates mindfulness, which enables you to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This practice can lead to increased self-awareness, emotional stability, and a greater sense of happiness and contentment. 4️⃣ Improves sleep quality: If you struggle with insomnia or have difficulty falling asleep, meditation can be a game-changer. By calming your mind and relaxing your body, it promotes a restful night's sleep, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized in the morning. 5️⃣ Strengthens the immune system: Studies have shown that regular meditation can have a positive impact on the immune system. It helps reduce inflammation, lowers blood pressure, and enhances the body's ability to fight off illnesses. 6️⃣ Promotes physical well-being: Meditation is not just beneficial for the mind; it also has positive effects on the body. It can help reduce chronic pain, improve cardiovascular health, and even slow down the aging process. Remember, meditation is a practice that requires consistency and patience. Start with just a few minutes a day and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. The benefits are worth the effort! 🌈 #meditationbenefits #mindfulnessmatters #innerpeace #focus4fitness

Another fantastic @fairhavengarden swim! Great to see Pat back in the water last night after winning her age group at the London Triathlon this weekend. I’ve been helping keep Pat in good working order with some sports massage work. A truly inspiring lady to work with. Always good to share a post swim tea/hot chocolate with swim friends! Got a good feeling about my @huubdesign Varman wetsuit - even managed the breakaway zip tonight!! Peaking nicely for my next triathlon. Summer nights were made for swimming outside! #fairhavengardens #focus4fitness #summervibes #openwaterswimming #norfolk #norfolklife #norfolkbroads #huubdesign #dryrobe #triathlontraining

🌟 Embracing Failure: The Gateway to Success! ⭐️ 🌈✨ Today, I want to talk about something that's cropped a few times this week; disappointment at perceived failure. 🤔💭 We all experience it at some point in our lives, but let's take a moment to shift our perspective and see failure as a stepping stone towards greatness! 💪🚀 We often forget that some of the most successful people in history have faced countless failures before achieving their dreams. 🌠💫 So, why should we be afraid to try and fail? Each failure brings us closer to success, teaching us valuable lessons along the way. 📚✨ When we step out of our comfort zones and take risks, we open ourselves MM up to incredible opportunities for personal growth. Failure helps us build resilience, strength, and determination. It's through these experiences that we discover our true potential and learn to overcome any obstacle that comes our way. 💪🌱 Some of the greatest inventions and breakthroughs in history were born out of failure. When we're not afraid to fail, we allow ourselves to think outside the box, explore new possibilities, and push the boundaries of what's considered possible. 🚀💡 Remember, it takes immense courage to try something new, knowing that failure is a possibility. By facing our fears head-on and refusing to let failure define us, we demonstrate our stregth and determination to succeed. 💪❤️ So, let's not be afraid to try and fail. Let's view failure as an opportunity for growth, innovation, and resilience. Let's celebrate our courage to step outside our comfort zones and chase our dreams fearlessly! Together, we can achieve greatness and inspire others to do the same. 💪❤️⭐️ #focus4fitness #runningcoach #triathloncoach #embracefailure #fearlessdreamer #unlockyourpotential
#throwbackthursday to last night! @fairhavengarden looking stunning last night. My new @huubdesign Varman wetsuit felt superb and although you can’t tell from the photo - it’s a beauty!

🌟 Amazing Experiences Through Sport 🌟🙌🏼 Let's take a moment to celebrate the incredible power of sports and the amazing experiences they bring into our lives! 🏆⚽️🏀 Whether it's scoring that winning goal, hitting a personal best, or simply being part of a team, sports have this magical ability to uplift our spirits and create unforgettable memories. 🌈✨ Through sports, we learn the value of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. We push our limits, conquer our fears, and discover strengths we never knew we had. 🌟💪🏼 But it's not just about the victories and achievements; it's about the journey itself. The friendships forged, the laughter shared, and the bonds that last a lifetime. Sports bring people together.

Just a 5 star Google Review from @sarah_hurre to leave here!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “28/11/22 my text to Rob. ‘So, a half Ironman, how hard can it be? I have absolute faith that if anyone can get me round, it’s you. I’ll do whatever I need to’ Fast forward to 09/07/23 and it turns out that a half Ironman is bloody hard, but my faith in Rob was not misplaced! I am an Outlaw. My belief in myself was tenuous at times, but with his consistent support, meticulous planning and uncanny ability to smell bulls*** at a 100 paces, not to mention his unwillingness to ever give up - and we smashed it! I believe that Rob invests in his athletes and gives something of himself to all of us. He always makes you feel like you’re his only focus and you have his undivided attention and commitment. Honestly, you could not ask for more. I have cycled and run before but we both knew that swimming, at all, never mind 1900 metres in open water, had the potential to be a deal breaker. I have read back through all our messages and can’t quite believe that I was struggling to swim 25 metres in a pool at the beginning of the year. If Rob was concerned, you’d never have known it. Yes, he did give me some pep talks and tough love, but that’s what I needed to break through my self imposed barriers. It worked. He listened to my excuses, explanations and whinging and cut straight to the chase, every time…which can be bloody annoying, but was exactly what I needed. Messages like ‘we do not quit’, ‘we will conquer this’, ‘ trust the process’ are not trite platitudes. It’s the absolute sincerity with which Rob says them that motivates, encourages and enthuses. This has been an incredible journey, both physically and mentally and I would 100% do it again. Rob was integral to it and I can’t thank him enough. ‘It’s all good’ is his mantra, and he’s not wrong!!” So proud x #focus4fitness #clienttestimonial #triathlon #outlawtriathlon #missionaccomplished✔️

🌙 Did you know that lack of sleep can have a significant impact on our overall well-being? 😴✨ Sleep is not just a luxury; it is a vital necessity for our bodies and minds to function optimally. Let's take a moment to understand how badly the lack of sleep can affect us. 1️⃣ Cognitive Function: Sleep deprivation can impair our cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. It becomes harder to concentrate and retain information, affecting our productivity and performance in daily tasks. 2️⃣ Emotional Well-being: Insufficient sleep can lead to increased irritability, mood swings, and heightened emotional reactivity. It becomes challenging to regulate our emotions effectively, potentially impacting our relationships and overall mental health. 3️⃣ Physical Health: Lack of sleep has been linked to various health issues, including a weakened immune system, increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. It can also affect our body's ability to repair and rejuvenate, leading to slower healing and recovery. 4️⃣ Mental Health: Sleep deprivation is closely associated with mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. It can exacerbate existing conditions or even contribute to the development of new ones. 5️⃣ Safety and Accidents: Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep can impair our motor skills and reaction times. Remember, a good night's sleep is not a luxury but a necessity for our overall health and well-being. Let's make sleep a priority and establish healthy sleep habits to reap the numerous benefits it offers. 😊💤 #focus4fitness #sleepydogs #sleepmatters #prioritisesleep #healthyhabits

🌟 Importance of Mindset for Fitness 🌟 Today, let's talk about the crucial role that mindset plays in achieving our fitness goals. 🏋️♀️💪 When it comes to fitness, having the right mindset is just as important as physical strength and endurance. Here's why: 1️⃣ Motivation and Consistency: A positive mindset helps us stay disciplined, motivated and committed to our fitness journey. It enables us to set realistic goals, overcome obstacles, and maintain consistency in our workouts. With a strong mindset, we can push through challenging days and stay focused on our long-term objectives. 2️⃣ Overcoming Self-Doubt: Many of us battle self-doubt and negative thoughts that hinder our progress. A healthy mindset allows us to challenge these doubts and replace them with self-belief. By cultivating a positive mindset, we can overcome mental barriers. 3️⃣ Resilience and Adaptability: Fitness journeys are often filled with ups and downs. A strong mindset helps us bounce back from setbacks, such as injuries or plateaus, and adapt our approach accordingly. It allows us to view challenges as opportunities for growth and learn from our experiences, ultimately making us more resilient. 4️⃣ Enjoyment and Longevity: A positive mindset can transform our perception of fitness from a chore to an enjoyable and fulfilling activity. By focusing on the positive aspects of our workouts, such as the endorphin rush, increased energy levels, or the sense of accomplishment, we can find joy in the process. This mindset shift enhances our overall well-being and increases the likelihood of maintaining a long-term fitness routine. 5️⃣ Mental and Emotional Health: Fitness is not just about physical strength; it also has a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being. A positive mindset helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while boosting self-confidence and body image.🌟💚 How do you strengthen your mindset? @motivated.mindset @norwich.mens.shed #focus4fitness #mentalstrength #strongmindset #braintraining #fitnessmindset #positivevibes #mindovermatter #fitnessjourney
