I don’t have formal training when it comes to training pregnant women, so it’s up to you if you want to pay any attention at all to anything I have to say. But I have written a little bit about training while pregnant before, when I researched it for my friend who was pregnant (click … Read more
“I’ve been good, so I deserve this treat…” You ever said something like that to yourself? I have. But it doesn’t change things. I don’t want to sound harsh or anything, but just because you have made it to your first week of your weight management course, doesn’t mean you can celebrate by having a … Read more
My website has been down for a few days now. I’m not sure what happened, but it looks like I pressed the wrong button and it suddenly crashed and burned. And I’ve been spending all my spare time since trying to fix it. And I think I might have done it! Only bad news is … Read more
So today we made the marching exercise a little bit more interesting: Side stepping the length of the room Walking backwards Walking forwards/sideways heel to toe. And homework for the next couple of weeks is to practice walking heel to toe for at least 5 minutes, twice a day, every day. If you have suffered … Read more
It’s time again! Getting out and about this Sunday morning, just as an excuse for a good breakfast afterwards at Bean Loved! What is it?

But the symptoms she is listing there are actually for a different condition…and that condition is … Read more

So we just finished our first official Stroke Rehab session at Craven Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre. And I can’t talk for anyone else, but I think it was bloody outstanding!

And everyone seemed pleased that we are finally getting things going. It seems there is a … Read more
The title of this post is a famous quote from Woody Allen. And I have found myself using it quite a bit recently, especially in the run up to Christmas. I’ve recently started to run group sessions for some office workers (click here if you are interested in something similar) and as usual, a few … Read more
Last Saturday, me and Jo had a go at Urban Attack at the Manchester Velodrome. This is definitely an obstacle “race!” The course is very short (it’s set on the BMX track) and you dash your way round against the clock. The fastest go through to the next round, until the best 15 males and … Read more
As of this Sunday onwards (Nov 29th), Broughton outdoor group training will be from 3-4pm. Otherwise, all is the same.
What is Full Moon 5k (ish)? I always like a full moon. I guess it’s because I grew up re-watching An American Werewolf in London. But now I actually get to go around Yorkshire during a full moon and try to “stay, on, the path”! So, it’s a full moon each month and if you want … Read more
Just a quickie to say there will be no training on Sunday 8th. A bunch of us are going down south to take part in the Wolf Run. But there will be the normal training at Silsden on Friday evening. So maybe try that one instead? Thank you!
