Losing or gaining motivation.

Every single person i have ever trained has struggled with their motivation from time to time. We are human after all, and not robots.

Do me one favour, remember how you looked and felt when you first started, and compare it to now-is there a difference? Please answer honestly!! I think the answer usually will blow your mind.

The best words i have just heard again from a book i am listening to are the best SEVEN words i have ever heard. DON’T GIVE UP. DON’T EVER GIVE UP. It’s easy to give up, but much harder to get up when you are knocked down. The most successful stories have always been those who have been knocked down, then got back up again several times and finally succeeded and achieved their dreams.

When you feel and look good, you are usually positive mentally and aim big. If you don’t exercise, then you won’t have anywhere near as much energy, you wont be as ambitious and you will not so have as high goals.

Sometimes things will happen in your day that will crush your enthusiasm, sometimes your wellbeing will be taken to a whole new level and you will feel out of this world good!!

Here’s what i am in the business of doing-giving you short and particularly long term plans that work. We never give you faddy, short term ways of doing things, that usually end up failure. I have been in this game a long time, and i plan on being it the rest of my life, so i don’t want to short change anyone. We passionately believe we are doing things the right way, and the results back it up.

We want you to be injury free, at healthier levels of body fat, feeling tighter than ever with a great lung capacity. We are currently creating a huge group of new runners who thought they could NEVER run-now that is becoming possible.

Every day all of you inspire by doing the things i thought you couldn’t do this soon. I was so thrilled last night when we have a big group of runners hit one of the biggest ever dunes in terms of steepness and difficultly, and EVERY single on of you did it!!!

What is more, two of you are over 50 years of age, with SERIOUS KNEE ISSUES or used to be, and climbed it with the rest of the group, AND RAN BACK, that i was very inspired by!!!

It’s easy to talk yourself down, to say you’re struggling mentally-WE ALL DO from time to time. I like to talk ourselves up though, the opportunities we have, the opportunities to come in the future too, and all the inspiring messages i get off plenty of people i don’t even know, saying how radically inspired they have become by watching videos of all of you, and all of the transformation pictures!!!

You are either going forwards or backwards, there’s nothing in between. Aim high, believe in yourself, aim for self-improvement daily, there’s no other way!!!

I am always excited by monday’s from a training perspective!!

You have heard me say a thousand times how it sets you up for the week, and it’s never been more true than right now!!

If you have been out already this morning, then you will know exactly how we are feeling right now. Unbelievable wind and freshness for a july morning meant us getting woken up in a big way, and firing us up for a massive performance throughout.

So it’s monday PM and i am feeling very revved up, very fired up about the possibilities to come this week, and the prospects of great results happening all the way throughout the week!!

It’s at this time of day i am making sure i am getting my own nutrition right, ready for another big night in the gym, along with it’s own unique demands.

There’s all the workouts to get through in the gym, pushing individuals through to new highs hopefully, and things they previously thought they couldn’t do, AND then we have a massive outside session at 615pm!!!

Tonight is going to be huge and i am looking forward to taking you all onto another level. another place where you haven’t been before in terms of physical performance, and one where we again start the WEEK OFF IN THE RIGHT WAY!!!

This environment, this attitude, this mindset means that WE ALL benefit through massive results, through massive positivity improvement and we know that all of these results are SUSTAINABLE, which is totally what we are after.

Keep eating right, stay healthy and let’s look for so much more yet again!!!!

The extra running workouts are meant to boost you overall in terms of endurance and strength. This work is meant to be done ON TOP of everything else.

All of you who have taken part so far have improved, and are capable of developing much more again, which is of course the goal.

The sessions are designed to work you past your previous limits, and give you fresh confidence that you can really become a good runner with some good well thought out sessions.

We are human beings and we will have bad days as well as good days. You won’t feel amazing all the time, but over time you will improve remarkably, just give yourself time and stick with it.

I have found that set programmes over weeks don’t really work with running. Some will improve quickly, many through will need support and will need to work on certain areas. We are all different and that’s what makes us all so special so we all need individual help.

In all my training programmes, the progress moves on so fast that all of you are constantly moving on to the next stage.

For example, one week seemingly you are struggling to lift 5kg weights, then by week 4 maybe 6kg weights are easy, that’s the power you have to improve, especially if you are eating well too, and getting to bed early most nights.

Give yourself a great chance of getting into your best shape by eating well and paying attention to your diet in general. Keep eating clean, keep energised at all times and keep that water coming in all day long.

You are entering a new even more demanding period of your training and i’m expecting very big things out of all of you. Doing the basics well will make all the difference. Stay consistent, keep showing up and be very optimistic that you can surpass all your previous bests!!!

The sand dune session was amazing this morning so let’s fire yourself up for much more again!!

Going from point A to B in the quickest and safest route has always been our strategy. Getting fit and healthy the right way, and making it sustainable will always be what we are about.

Getting stronger and healthier, and really realising that as long as you stick at it, you will continue to keep on achieving big things along the way.

Avoiding distractions along the way is critical to making it as smooth a journey as possible. People will always tug you in different directions, especially the ones who want to make a quick buck out of you.

You know by now that shakes and bars diets will lose weight initially, but as soon as you get back to eating properly again, you will pile that weight back on and much more again.

You know by now that exercising in a dangerous way, and this means overdoing it and working until you sick is not only dangerous but idiotic and will have severe repercussions on your health.

There’s nothing worse than realising that a faddy diet didn’t work after all, that slamming yourself into the ground is counter-productive and you may have picked up longer term injuries. Mentally this can be extremely tough to take, and difficult to recover from.

The best way will always be to set conservative initial goals, and month by month you can easily surpass them as long as you stay consistent. This is not only a far more realistic way, but much more enjoyable and sustainable for you both physically and mentally.

Our greatest performers are the ones who stick with their programme but constantly reach for more, they set new records (against themselves), are constantly feeling better, they are optimistic they can reach more and more, and become great examples of what is truly possible with the human body.

Thanks for all your efforts, keeping me excited about what i do and inspiring me to show up every day and do my best!!

Seeing it through and keeping our philosophy intact should always be seen as one of our strengths.

Seeing it through means we are developing stronger minds, not wilting under pressure to take the easy way out or quit, we become stronger every time we beat that feeling to take the easy way out.

We do have a remarkable amount of individuals who are changing quickly. The foundation of how they do it is very strong too.

Eating real food is sustainable, and getting educated how to eat properly and why we do it is vital. This means your results are always going to last, and you will develop an ever-increasing amount of energy.

Your training is sustainable too. You are encouraged to get stronger, to recover quicker in between each exercise, you are encouraged to become a better runner, cyclist, weight trainer, and become an “athlete” in all true meanings of the word.

You shouldn’t accept the fact that you may have bad balance, through our training you have every opportunity to get much better balance, to strengthen your core and become ready for anything that life has to throw at you.

Real fitness doesn’t mean relying on machines.

Real fitness means learning much more natural movements, getting your body to move in the way it was supposed to, become much more flexible and really sharpening up your reaction times.

Keep training the right way, don’t fall for yet another faddy diet, and really see this through because you know if you give it enough time, it’s going to work big time for you!!!
