Fitter, faster, stronger every day!

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This is something I have been trying to express for a long time. Writing poetry has been an outlet for me alongside fitness. The words tend to just fall out onto the page, not making much sense but the meaning behind it for me is healing. My big bro loved his poetry and I have been reading a lot of his unpublished poems over the years and it helped me understand some of the pain he had been carrying his whole life. These things are never easy to talk about, it’s difficult to ask people how they are, and then ask again and really listen to the answer. I wanted to share this on world suicide prevention day which was yesterday as a reminder to people to check in on those you love, and those you have not spoken to in a while - a tough awkward conversation is better than a devastating phone call. Sean left us in 2021 but honestly it still feels like yesterday and I made a promise to myself I would continue to try and help others and if even one person chooses to stay - then that is well worth it #worldsuicidepreventionday🎗 #poetry #spokenwordpoetry by @dannyfitz25

Deadly Gross 2026
Hardest event I have ever done

3 deadly dozens each on paper does not sound that difficult but the longevity of the whole day, time on feet and social battery required to keep focused and positive took its toll

You get to a stage where your “strongest stations” leave you a quivering mess on an air bed 😭

But there is something about achieving this together as a team - the relationships you build, the support you give each other and the general will to continue despite being ridiculously tired as you do not want to let your team mates down

I couldn’t have asked for a better team of people to do this with - they dug me out of a hole multiple times, gave words of encouragement and stepped in when i needed more rest and recovery

This has shown me you can do hard things, with the right mindset and the will to continue - the mind gives up long before the body - once you push through that discomfort you reach this other side where you just continue with the pain - it’s an experience I have for next time

Looking forward to not seeing lunges for a while and hoping my next deadly dozen will be ridiculously easy after an event like this!

The whole atmosphere at these events are so good, everyone cheering each other on and spreading words of encouragement - it’s what makes the day fun for everybody

@madeleine_86 @rstiffers - thanks for the constant support - spray downs with water, refilling our bottles, keeping us up to date on the plan and being great conversation throughout the day.

@jaykils1 @kacperjaworski89 @primalroutines always a pleasure with you boys

@katyfitz85 thanks for doing the hardest job - watching the kids so I could go up to stoke and then letting me sleep all day yesterday 🤣

If you are going through hell - keep going!

Tough session today down Lee valley programmed by @jaykils1. Session 2 of the hyrox base builder, chose to do 35kg sandbag lunges and 10kg wallballs until I was broken then moved onto 7kg. Good to train with my bro @d.performance.academy putting the work in for December Hyrox. The wallballs broke me today but we will keep coming back and try and get fitter and stronger as the weeks progress. #trainhardcompeteeasy #hyroxtraining by @dannyfitz25

Great session down Lee valley this morning. Legs and back were feeling sore from Saturday but felt better after the session (as is usually the case) good to get back on those sled pushes and pulls after a few weeks.
Great first session of a new block from @jaykils1 who will get us in fighting shape come December for @hyroxuk London excel. Good meeting @h4rrys1ngh and training with @ryan784784 again - fitness brings different people together with the same shared goal, but who says you can’t push each other a bit more each session!! #progressnotperfection by @dannyfitz25
