I swear it was harder than it looks.

Unless you saw me do it which case I probably gave an accurate representation of the difficulty.

S/o @sean_lundy and Issy for a wholesome and successful family day out to Belfast for Rnd 2 of National CX series.

Bike is now washed and back in gravel mode ready to look sexy at nationals on the weekend 🤙😘

Part 2 of our series discussing a Lactate Test report.

Different aspects of the curve give indications about physiology; what is well developed, where is there still potential.

Once identified, the questions should be answered in the context if the athlete; goals, capacity, training and injury history.

For questions or queries on testing or reports, DM or email

Part 1 of a series looking at a blood lactate test report.

There is more that goes into testing than just running and taking samples, and a lot more involved in the interpretation than just setting zones.

Message us or DM if you have questions or are interested in getting tested

Cyclocross is a fun kind of game where you use the wrong bike to do exercise for a short amount of time with a small amount of danger.

I would recommend doing things that you're not good at especially if:
1. You can get your friend's to do them too
2. They are outdoors
3. You can collect grainy #content

But seriously thanks Brian from IMBRC (and his excellent announcers/DJs) and Aaron from FiftyOne, fairplay everyone who did it.

Loads more CX coming up if anyone wants to give it a go.

Transpyrenees 2026

An absolutely beautiful dogfight against yourself for 1080km over 25'000m of elevation

Last year's scorching sun was replaced by a storm that was the worst weather I've experienced in my life. That night I slept in front of a church for 2h (pic 2).

The next day was bliss over Aubisque, Colombia de Tentes, Tourmalet, Portillon (& on, & on..) until I started to crack and dragged myself past Bagneres de Luchon up to Baqueira for handfulls of bread and guacamole in a 1star hotel bed, naked hoping my kit would dry in the 3.5h I planned to sleep.

Plot twist they didn't (which is grand). But also my Garmin wouldn't work to load the route (not grand). I got through the 20km gravel descent before sunrise and another racer helped me get the route visible offline on my phone.

From there I found a slow but super-focused flow-state and ended up riding through the next night for a 33h final push over ~513km. More on what that took out of me another day (maybe I'd rather forget it)

Finish: 74h - 5.5h sleep - 8th overall

As Into The Wild and Victor Campenaerts say; happiness only exists when shared, and I was super lucky to have a pile of legends around before and after (and even one or two during).

@sugitbak for the craic and infinitely better photos
@gregoceros for the prep, sage advice and of course training
@kieranjaxson & the rest of the Bray Blitz crew (+Brotz & @ciflood92 ) for the most hype playlist of the year
@the_mehlman_delivers for company most of Day 2 (and checking I was ok after a crash on Day 1, getleman (& 5th!))
@bruno.gpx and @magicmoments84 for the finish-line morale-soak
@rachbres for decompression coffee-rides and telling me its ok not to be training 2 days later
Jenny-Greg the dog mascot. Wherever you are after that crash, guide-on.

And @alexandra_nedela holy crap, you went through an absolute war on your first ultra and came out of it smiling through the literal scars. You are a legend and a microcosm of everything thats good about this insane sport. taken in Llança - Costa Brava by @conorverb

Sometimes maybe cringe, sometimes maybe useful ⚖️

Aggressive fuelling is all the rage. It may not be for everyone so as always the devil is in the detail and the ✨️ s p e c i f i c i t y ✨️

It was a calculated risk that payed off for me this weekend.

Thats the last big-hit in the bank before I take on the main target of the year next week and it's a biiiiig job 😬

Big thanks and well done to Bray Wheelers for a pretty great race. Home-win for the Inaugural is a nice start 🙂‍↔️

Thanks John @hammerphoto999 for the photos 📸
