Skirlaugh 10m TT tonight. Man was it windy.... again 😒

Didn't feel great tonight but still got a 26 so I guess I can take that? 🤷‍♀️

These @rideparcours wheels are mint! So fast and loud. I don't think @connorbow will miss them 👀

VO2 max today. Same roads as always, but the legs didn’t know that — felt properly good the whole way through, even with a throat that gave up on me halfway.

Some sessions you just click. This was one of them.

Connor opens up about his battle with mental health, self-esteem, and confidence.

After witnessing a friend tragically pass away during his time in the army, Connor found himself in a very dark place. He experienced anxiety, struggled with feeling like he wasn’t good enough, and even questioned whether life was worth living.

Although things have improved with time, Connor’s story highlights that trauma doesn’t simply disappear. He still carries the impact of that moment and continues to navigate the challenges that come with it.

Despite that, he remains hopeful that things will continue to get better and is committed to taking life one step at a time.

Full conversation on YouTube.

We are incredibly proud to share our partnership with Connor as he prepares for a monumental 13-day cycling challenge from Girona to Hull, raising life-saving funds for @calmzone - a charity close to his own heart.

To support his mission and allow him to protect his vision whilst documenting his perspective entirely hands-free, we have equipped him with the groundbreaking Oakley Meta smart glassrs. Born from a partnership between elite sports optics and advanced AI, these frames feature an integrated camera and immersive audio - allowing Connor to share the raw reality of his journey with his supporters in real-time, get updates on the journey ahead from Garmin and even help with translations along the way.

We are proud to support him in raising awareness for such a worthy cause. Every week in the UK, 125 people tragically lose their lives to suicide. Connor's journey to break the silence starts tomorrow, and we are standing right behind him!

We will be sharing more of Connor's journey on our socials over the coming weeks, including his reasons for taking part in this challenge!

Don't forget you can head to the link in our bio to join us in supporting Connor with donations to @calmzone via his Give Wheel 🙌🏼

Happy global running day 🌍

I first started running under 2 years ago by doing couch to 5K with my sister, then I was roped in to a sprint triathlon which I hated everything about it apart from the running and then that was it…. I was hooked.

Since then I have ran 3 marathons, joined numerous local run clubs and have even gone on to create my own.

Running helps keep me on track and offers me an escape when I need to get out my head sometimes. It’s completely changed my life and I am currently seeing it changing other people’s lives too.

Hull is so lucky to have so many amazing run clubs all offering different things, here are a list of a few if you were thinking of getting in to it:

@alcohullfree_ - (Selfish Plug) Proud to say this is my run club; Super chilled Run/walk group more focused on social rather than performance. Great way to start your week.

@treehouse_runclub - Chilled out social run with exciting collabs and great food & drink before and after
@altusrunning - Mix of social & high performance (track nights are meant to be the best)
@slowasforkrunclub - Great women’s run club for all paces
@tc60hull - Run & Rave - Looks like a super fun way of getting in to running.
@chasinghappyrunclub - Looks like a really chilled running vibe - Kingswood based I believe and do Run & Brunch at @sleepersbar
@catalystrunclub - Well established run club based in Beverley - also do Brunch at @sleepersbar
@hyp_hull - Chilled 5km at numerous paces along the Marina.

I’m sorry if I missed any, feel free to tag any more below 👇

First ever 15m TT tonight in the damp conditions. Very happy with time and pacing and almost caught @cycling_joseph so win win really.

Bike felt great after a slight tweak on the position.

That’s that done.

Didn’t really have the fitness (more to come on that) or the back for 80k route.

But having caught up with or rather being caught to by @benjamin_le_chappers made it more fun (sorry eating your phone) added to the fun.

Thanks @wilddeerevents for a great event
