I hope this BLOG finds everyone well and ready to start 2010 fresh after some time off? I am assuming most of you have had some time off, because unless you have been out of the country or hibernating some where you will have been getting increasingly frustrated by the SNOW we have had across the UK.

I hope everyone is in the Christmas spirit and has got all of their presents purchased, or at least their shopping list ready for the last minute rush to the shops on Christmas Eve?

Recovery is the key word on every athlete’s lips no matter what level you are competing at, if you don’t allow your body to recover you will never gain the full benefits from all the time you put into training hard!

A few years ago when I was taking a ‘break’ from triathlon I learned how to cycle better, harder and with a little bit more proficiency.

I had become a bit disinterested with triathlon and with the swim training in particular and then after a very miserable experience at the London Marathon (arguably the worst endurance [...]

Hello everyone,

I have been keeping busy with training, coaching and as many of you would have seen preparing for and attending the London Triathlon at the Excel Centre. It was our first time attending a show and [...]
