As we get closer to the end of 2025, I can honestly say it’s been the toughest year I’ve ever experienced.

Heartbreak. Loss. Family illness. Work and financial struggles. Injuries.
One thing after another and at times it took me to some pretty low places. Some days I genuinely didn’t know how to cope.

But I’m a fighter. I don’t quit.

I love proving doubters wrong. Day by day, I made changes. I started backing myself again. I cut out negativity, people, situations, habits and replaced it with positivity and purpose.

This year taught me a lot about myself.

I’m a different person than I was 10 months ago and for the first time in 10 years… I’ve got my drive back. Mentally and physically stronger. Focused. Back on the right path towards my goals in work and fitness.

I’m not one for saying “next year is my year”…
but surely the only way is up after this one.

Beyond blessed to spend Christmas Day with my three amazing kids.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals ❤️🎄

We all get good days and bad days… and London was definitely not my day.

Nothing worse than putting the work in, knowing you’ve got it in you, and then your calf decides to go on strike.

The running blew my calf injury wide open, every stride felt like it was sending hate mail straight to my leg. By station 2, it was pure grit.

Huge shoutout to for dragging me through those runs. The guy is held together with tape and yet still kept me moving. Big love bro 💙

18 competitions this year… which is 6 less than last year, but still probably too many. Some races a success, some flopped harder than my calf mid-run!

But here’s the truth: once I’m injury-free, I know exactly what I’m capable of!!

It’s been a tough year in life and injuries, but weirdly… I feel mentally and physically stronger than ever.

Better days are coming 👊🏾

Dublin with my guy Frankie! 💙

First time racing together and we worked so well as a team. So glad Frankie can count, because that course was absolutely brain-numbing!

Both dealing with calf injuries, so we’re pleased with our performance.

Such a pleasure spending a few days with, his calm, kind and positive energy makes him a top guy (plus those beautiful curls on his head!).

Now it’s on to Hyrox London in 3 weeks with my Day One,!

Birmingham – The Comeback Race

This one was never about PBs… it was about getting back out there after a long calf injury and proving to myself I could still go to war 💥

I knew the runs would be tough and they were. But I set a game plan, stayed calm, and trusted the process. The first half felt solid, 30 mins in and halfway through… then the legs started to fade. Stations felt strong, but the runs hit hard 😮‍💨

Still every race back is a step forward. Not where I want to be yet, but we’re building. The hunger for that sub-60 is stronger than ever 🔥

Next stop: Dublin ☘️
Time to lock in and go again 👊

Big shoutout to always a fun day out with you, big love mate! 🙌

September was a busy month for Competitions!

(which was great fun with ), and all back-to-back. Unfortunately we had to pull out of due to team issues, so at the 11th hour, and I decided to jump into Nuclear Fit instead… which, in hindsight, was the wrong move.

With this ongoing calf issue I’ve had for the past 3 months, I just couldn’t run properly and that completely knocked my confidence and mindset.

Thankfully, I finished the month on a high at with the absolute unit 💪 Loved every minute of it.

Now it’s time to focus on rehabbing the calf and preparing for the final three comps of the year — Birmingham, Dublin, and London. Then… we reset. 🔁

The time has come for you to head off to Manchester… and I’ve got such mixed emotions.

I’m so unbelievably proud of you, off to university to follow your dreams and smash it in style! You’ve worked so hard and deserve everything coming your way.

But I’m going to miss you so much. 💔 We’ve been touch tight ever since you were born. You’ve grown into not only my son but a best mate, a brilliant employee, my emotional rock, and my football buddy.

Go and take Manchester by storm, boy. Have the best time, meet amazing people and make memories that will last a lifetime. You’re going to love it up there, I just know it.

Love you, always proud. ❤️⚽👊🏾
