A late Sunday afternoon push up my local hill to burn off some over indulging.

I am normally out early for solo training but yesterday afternoon was needed and turned out to be beautiful.

Stepping out of sync can be most productive at times.

Stay well and don’t be be afraid to take a chance.

Great way to start the weekend, run the dogs and then head out for a morning climbing with @alexbuisse and Jeremie.

Making the most of every moment.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Stay well and get on it

Amazing hike yesterday with the whole crew.

My hikes are a real escape and switch off, normally just the dogs and I, was so good to have lily join us.

Oh but always take weighted back pack (escaping with bit of training to boot)

Lovely and wintery at the top of #aiguillettedesposettes

Stay well and enjoy your escape moments.

Getting to the top of anything is all about the ma

Getting to the top of anything is all about the many small thought out moves you make on the way.

We fall sometimes, but the falling is just a way to help get our focus back.

For anyone out there with a dream or goal, set it, write it down, now work out all the moves you’ve got to make to get there.

All these moves are your journey and will most likely be way better than just reaching the top.

Stay well, make many moves and enjoy your journey

@james.cadge cheers for getting one in focus.

I always feel so lucky to coach so many amazing endurance and adventure athletes, they all give me so much fuel and energy to keep pushing myself.

In a crazy year, it’s been about supporting my athletes through a time of few or no races and shut down travel has seen expeditions and adventures cancelled, leaving athletes in a holding pattern.

So proud of you all.

Stay well, keep dreaming and keep the drive.

Making tracks into a new week. Focus is as fresh

Making tracks into a new week.

Focus is as fresh as the snow, keeping everything moving forward, even when it’s against the tide.

The great thing is when you keep moving forward against the tide (even slowly) when the tide changes just watch how fast you move.

Stay well, have a great week and keep moving forward

Our mental state when racing/performing is persona

Our mental state when racing/performing is personal to us and can be very extreme in nature.

From happy to angry, from focused to nonchalant.

Spending time to see which state of mind brings you your best results, is time well spent. You maybe be surprised.

As a coach my time is spent equally on the physiology and psychology in preparing athletes

Love heading out on local trails to unwind and relax, not following a session but grabbing a moment of pure play.

MTB for me is just fun and I use it as recovery from harder training in the mountains.

Sometimes just by removing structure things can be fun and more therapeutic.

It’s not all about serious training.

Stay well and keep it fun

Went to the zoo yesterday, yeah it’s the name for local dry tooling wall.

Pushing new skills and boundaries is so important to me, the whole never sitting still and wanting to learn how I can improve keeps my motivation super high.

Preparation for some exciting winter objectives with @alexbuisse

Starting a new week can sometimes feel like we are

Starting a new week can sometimes feel like we are looking up a massive mountain. It can feel daunting and overwhelming.

Break it down, that summit seems along way off, but keeping the summit in mind draw you gaze and mind back to what’s immediately in front of you, deal with that and move forward.

If the big picture is too much to cope with, Shrink it and in no time you will get there.

Stay well and keep moving forward

Descending, the one thing about going up is we have to come down.

Many times it’s the way down that makes me realise just how far I’ve been, we get swept up in the journey up and don’t always realise how long and hard it was.

I always write up notes after every trip, reflecting on what went well and mostly what can I improve on.

Never be afraid to reflect and analyse where you have been, it’s one of the best ways to insure progress in future trips, just don’t get hung up on negatives focus on turning them into positives.

Stay well and keep reflecting

I’ve never been a fan of pigeon holing, I love the fact that I can do so many different endurance and adventure sports.
I love how they cross over and connect.

As an athlete and coach I embrace all that can be learnt from such playing across so many amazing sports.

I like others have had my time focused on one sport to get to the highest level but that’s not me any more, I can still push myself and even at my age find improvements, I also find great ways to improve training methods for my athletes by playing in such a way.

Remember, playing is fun and fun is fuel.

Stay well and keep playing.
