Olympic fever comes to Kingsworthy… and a glimpse of the medals
The Olympic torch went through Kingsworthy yesterday on its way to Winchester. I joined a gang of clients who live there who had set up camp in one of their gardens right on the route. It was perfect - opposite the pub and next to the village shop which was doing a...
Post-race recovery – don't rush it
I've talked about post-race recovery before, and how important it is not to rush it if we're to avoid over-training problems. At the moment, one week on from The Outlaw, my biggest problem is now not to continue to eat huge amounts as if I was still training 20 hours...
Prizes at the Alresford 10k
My son Jack and I ran the Alresford 10k on 17th June. We both had a good day - 17 year old Jack coming 18th and me enjoying a good hard run two weeks out from my ironman race. The race course is challenging but brilliantly-organised and friendly. I've always either...
I am an Outlaw: ironman distance number three – done
If only all races could be like this… Ironman 70.3 Majorca
It's O-6 (Outlaw minus 6 days) and I'm trying to remain calm and relaxed in the run up to the Outlaw iron distance tri this coming Sunday. One of the things I find useful is to think back over all the training and races I've done in the build up, to help cement in my...
Taper time… the countdown to Outlaw 2012
Well it's ten days to Outlaw - my iron-distance A-race this year. In some ways the time's gone quickly (I've been training specifically since new year) yet in others the time has dragged and I feel I've been ready to race for a few weeks. If I'm honest, I have even...

Ibuprofen before or during a race – is it ever a good idea?
When I'm working, clients and I chat about all sorts of things. Obviously the many different aspects of endurance exercise are popular and fascinating topics. One of the things that crops up increasingly frequently around marathon time is the use of NSAIDs...
And after the race…
Rest and recover! That's it. Except people don't or can't do this properly. And it takes its toll - so please, please, please promise you'll do the following after your big race. (As it's spring marathon season, we'll base it on a marathon, but the principles are...

What People Are Saying
You worked wonders in my legs. Needed at sub 1:37 for New York. Ran 1:36.46 at Gosport today. Thank you so much.
I’ve been having massages with Lou for 8 years and always felt better as a result, both before and after racing. She’s a very friendly expert and you can always guarantee restored legs and spirits after a session.
