Journal entry from the top of the mountain after my walk up: Morning walk at my local mountain to clear my mind and help me work through some of my most pressing thoughts. Nature has a special way of making everything else melt away so that I can be present. The sounds of the animals... Continue Reading →
Thoughts at Thirty
Earlier this week I turned 30 and I wanted to capture my thoughts at this time of life. I started working on this entry two weeks ago with no real plan and this is what I came up with. Character First - This one has become important to me recently as I realised that it... Continue Reading →
Pay the Price
"It's all achievable, we just have to be willing to pay the price." I wrote "Pay the Price" on the blackboard in our gym a few years ago to serve as a reminder of the price of success, a re-calibration of sorts.

I’ve been spending some time recently trying to add more little bits of fitness into my day and the obvious ones have presented themselves: lunch breaks, mornings, before bed, walking further at car parks etc. Today I grabbed my shoes and socks when I got to the gym and went and sat on the nearest...

Can you build a habit in 21 days?
Hi everyone, This week I thought I might talk about building habits and the time fames around these. I had originally planned to write this blog about the '21 days' theory to building new habits as it was something that Amy and I had been talking about recently and something that we have believed in...

Holiday Fitness Part II: What we take and our Go To workouts
By Anthony Dyson Last year I wrote a piece on our mindset for holiday/ travel workouts and how we had spent an extensive period of time looking at it the wrong way. We were stuck in a cycle of thinking we needed to improve our fitness while on holiday but the case was that if... Continue Reading →
