There’s a pattern I keep seeing…And after over 30,000 health assessments, it’s impossible to ignore.Busy professionals come to me wanting to lose weight, improve fitness, and feel more energised.But underneath that…They’re exhausted.They’re juggling...
Yesterday was my first ride outside of 2026.To be honest, I was a little nervous.I’ve recently been ill with shingles and haven’t been able to train much over the past month. So I had no idea how the legs were going to respond.But despite the cold, t...
