They told me I’d never walk again…

4 years ago, I was lying in a hospital bed, paralysed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome.�Doctors told me I’d be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life.

But I refused to accept that. I had to relearn everything…how to move, how to speak, how to take my first step again.

It wasn’t quick.�It wasn’t easy.�But I kept going making the impossible, possible

And within 3 years…I didn’t just walk again, I ran.

If you’re going through something right now, whatever it is…please don’t give up on yourself.
Your situation right may not your final chapter.

🎥 Watch my journey.

Training on beast mode with Refined Nutrition 💥

Been putting in serious work on the track lately, so today my gym coach @cuttingedge.fit pushed me through a heavy gym session, and I brought a little backup.

Tried out two of my favourites from @refinednutrition:
 ⚡️ Force Extreme Stim Pre-Workout  🍦 Ultra Whey Vanilla Signature Protein

Honestly, feeling stronger, faster, and dialled in. If you’re chasing that next level too, might be worth checking them out. No pressure, just sharing what’s been working for me.

 Let me know if you want a breakdown of how I use these in my training routine!

There was one song I played on repeat, and that was “Psalms 23”

Every hospital visit. Every painful rehab session. Every moment I wanted to quit.

4 years ago, Guillain-Barré Syndrome left me paralysed. I was told I may never walk again.
But every time this song played, it reminded me of the person I refused to stop believing I could become.

Step by step... Day by day... I kept showing up.

Today, every lyric takes me straight back to those moments. Not with sadness, but with gratitude. Because this song didn’t just get me through recovery... it became the soundtrack to proving that impossible isn’t always permanent.
If you’re facing a battle of your own, keep believing. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.

A special thank you to @sharazbadr for taking me from walking to sprinting. To Coach @cuttingedge.fit for the incredible support in the gym, and to both of them for their continued mentorship. And to @yohanblake for lighting the fire in me and inspiring me throughout this entire journey.

Fast feet… faster dreams ⚡️

I went from crossing the line at the RunThrough mile run to stepping straight into the @puma.uk pop-u with @djagonline and the energy was unreal.

Music pumping, dancers bringing the heat, crowd on another level. Then it happens…

@usainbolt pulls up 👀 I get to meet my inspiration �
A few words from the greatest there ever was. A moment I’ll never forget. Days like this remind me why I started.

Strength isn’t just built on the track… it’s forged under the bar 💪

Stepped into the legendary @bodyworksgymtottenham with my guy @cuttingedge.fit 30 years deep in the game and still setting the standard.

Different world. Different energy. But the mission stays the same: get stronger, move faster.

For me, weight training isn’t just about lifting heavy… it’s about building the power, stability, and muscle needed to perform when it counts on the track.

Big thank you to Mark and everyone at Bodyworks for the warm welcome, proper community in there 👊

Would you train in a hardcore bodybuilding gym to level up your sport?

New PBs don’t just happen… sometimes you’ve gotta earn them rep by rep 😅💪

Back in the lab at @energymwestealing with my good friend @cuttingedge.fit (British champion EFBB/IFBB & NABBA JR champion and absolute machine) putting me through the kind of session that makes you question your life choices… in the best way 😂

Today’s extras in the mix: @refinednutrition Ultra BCAA + Ultra Creatine, keeping me switched on, recovering better, and helping me squeeze out those last few reps when my body’s trying to tap out. We’re chasing progress, not comfort… and the PBs are starting to fall 🏋️‍♂️🔥

If you’re on your own journey right now, drop a comment with what you’re working towards, and let’s keep pushing together 👊

Massive thank you to @cuttingedge.fit, @energymwestealing, and @refinednutrition for being part of my journey ❤️

Grateful miles, big goals. 🏃‍♂️💥

Today I’m down at Parliament Hill getting ready for my next run with Highgate Harriers Track Club, and hearing my coach Sharaz say I’m smashing my PB targets honestly hit different.

Not long ago, the warm up was all I could manage. I couldn’t go beyond that. Fast-forward to now… I’m putting in 8 rounds of 400m 😅

I’m not just chasing times, I’m running with gratitude, and trying to be an example for anyone who’s dealt with GBS or any neurological illness, or those tough health challenges that can make progress feel impossible. If you’re in that place right now, please know this: small wins stack up, and your comeback doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Special thanks to Sharaz and the whole Highgate Harriers Track Club family for backing me and supporting my journey🙏

What’s one goal you’re working towards right now, on the track or in life? Drop it in the comments so I can cheer you on 👇

19.23 PB!! (12 seconds faster when I started 1 year ago) I’m still battling Guillain-Barré Syndrome every single day. The last 12 months have been full of rain, pain, and suffering in training. But I decided to keep going.

Everyone thought I was crazy when I said I wanted to sprint again after being in a wheelchair. But here I am proving myself and everyone else wrong.

This is forever a proud moment. I thank God for giving me the strength to keep fighting, and I’ll never stop believing. The journey isn’t over but this is just the beginning. 🙏💪
