Led my first circuits class today at Barn Elms Sports Centre in Barnes. Very friendly group and all set up outside for some fresh air.
Nine stations with a mix of cardio and strength. Thanks to Scotty for the opportunity.

Out for a run after work. The evenings are getting lighter and warmer. A bit slow but felt good to get out.

Casual
Post run dancers pose stretch - with some dips. The wobbles are part of the practice. 😂

And the dancing dragon made a wonderful and rowdy appearance.

Saturday 10km this morning. 10°C in London so quite warm. There must have been something in the air, YouTube kept stopping and my Garmin hallucinated an extra 100km. Perhaps the only time I will ever see that on my wrist 😂, Strava seemed to know the right distance.

Some glorious vegan Italian food from a couple of weekends ago at Alto by San Carlo at the top of Selfridges.

Back to it with a 10km this morning. After work and life getting the way it's been a bit of gap between runs. Some stops and starts but good to get out there.

The nice thing about this workout on a Monday is you start lying down. After the skullcrushers (lying triceps extension) sit up and do your bicep curls straight away to make it an antagonist superset.

Key pieces: liquid chalk.
As I introduced hanging L sits into my practice one of the things I struggled most with is hanging on for the whole set of reps. This is an exercise you can't rush or you end up swinging around.

🧘♂️💪 some yoga inspired strength today
Saturday 10km along the river. Nice to get out, slippery underfoot and a few stops and starts.
New terracotta shorts!

It's official - I am a PT now. Really pleased I started this in the last quarter of 2025 so that I'm coming into 2026 ready to start a new chapter.
Bloody Mary, padrons and a Sunday roast earlier for lunch at The Crossing in Barnes. We just missed the Bagpipe Master they had playing Burns Night.

Friday 10km. A slog not a jog. A late night and busy week meant I wasn't feeling it at all. But I do have some new green shorts.

Range of movement.
I've been hanging out doing half pull ups, so I'm challenging myself to do the whole range of movement even if some of the pull ups are messy, or don't really happen!
Followed by L sits and bodyweight dips with knees bent to dip lower.

Vinyasa flow yoga this morning followed by a peanut butter blondie and coffee at The Robin.

A mild grey 10km along the Thames this morning. It feels good to get out in the daylight on these short days.

Finally got to lunchtime yoga today at WPP One Southwark Bridge. I've been meaning to go since I started - four months has flown by.

Today was our PT assessment at St Mary's Uni where we taught a 1 hour PT session, and had anatomy and nutrition exams too. It's been great learning alongside the other PTs to-be. I passed the teaching assessment so🤞for the exams and the coursework.

Quick 45 minute workout today after assessment and exams yesterday. Followed by steam room and sauna to relax.

Here's an easy breakfast to give you your 5-a-day. Just use a handful of each ingredient (apart from the chillies 🫠)
Cook the chilli, mushrooms and tomatoes first, then add the beans and spinach. Serve with avocado and olive oil.

Optimistically setting up my personal training account ready for 2026. I qualified as a Level 2 Gym Instructor late last year and have a couple of weeks left of my PT course. 🤞💪
Feel free to give me a follow on

Quick 2025 fitness roundup from Strava. This was the year that I ran 25 half marathons and started my personal training course in October (which I will complete in January🤞). Here's to a race or maybe two in 2026 and more time on the mat and lifting.
