💪🏽 Another day in the gym for the boys… and lastnight it was time for a bit of friendly competition 😂🏆, with a guest appearance from Peter showing the boys how it’s done👊🏻

Seb called it right, and he and the boys absolutely SMASHED it out the park 💥 Introducing… THE FANTASTIC FOUR 🦸‍♂️🔥

Harry came in full of optimism, convinced they had a chance… 🥹😂 , Unfortunately, the boys had other ideas and ran away with it! 🏃‍♂️💨

Lewis was looking dangerously close to throwing the towel in 🏳️😂 whilst Olivia once again turned up sporting some questionable footwear for a wet October evening 🌧️👟 Fashion icon or health & safety nightmare? The jury’s still out! 🤣

And remember… Every Lidl helps 🛒😂💚

Same time next week? The boys will be back, and Olivia… PLEASE CHECK THE WEATHER FORECAST! 💀😂👏

A massive thank you again to Jamie and Curtis for having us! 🙌🏽💪🏽

@hybridnw 🥈🔥

2nd place in HYTEENS with @chestermills.fitness and 3rd place for my other young athlete @alfieg_15 and his dad Alex. Optimal Performance Centre turned up today!

Chester unlocked a new level today. He said he was that deep in the hole he thought about faking a hamstring injury 😂 But he kept digging and got it done that’s where you find out what you’re made of.

Proud of these lads and the effort they put in. A good morning in the office. Roll on the next race!

MANCHESTER HALF — 1:27:15. NEW PB. 🔥

I said to myself, “I’m running a 1:27 today.” And that’s exactly what I did. I did what I said I was going to do 👊🏽

Over five minutes off my previous best. I’ll take that.

Today was a stepping stone towards Malaga Marathon — a chance to see where I’m at and how the training is paying off.

After my spinal cord injury in 2019, I had to learn to walk again. In 2022, a half marathon took me 2 hours 24 minutes. Today, 1 hour 27. 57 minutes quicker through years of consistency.

Like I keep telling people, it doesn’t happen overnight. Keep showing up. Keep ticking the boxes.

I started in the wrong wave, which meant a little traffic early on. Nothing major, but I found myself running at someone else’s pace rather than my own. A reminder for Malaga: trust my pace and run my race.

I felt comfortable and finished thinking I had more in the tank — although you always think that once you’ve crossed the line 😂

I’m proud of today, but I’m still chasing a sub-1:20 half. More boxes to tick and more work to put in.

Target hit. Next stop, Malaga. 💪🏽🔥

Manchester Half Marathon. Sunday. 🔥

The hard work is done. The miles are banked. I’ve left no stone unturned. Now it’s time to trust the work and go after that PB.

My race. My pace. My goal.

No getting carried away at the start. No chasing someone just because they’re in front. I know the paces I need to hit, and I’m going out there with a plan.

At one point, I was paralysed from the neck down. I had to learn to walk again. Now I’m lining up to run 13.1 miles faster than I ever have.

That means more to me than any number on the clock. But trust me, I’m coming for that number too.

I’ve fought hard to get here. Sunday, I’m backing myself. Let’s fucking go. 🖤💙

EVERY SATURDAY — FREE YOUTH TRAINING 🔥
Ages 11–16.

Let’s get our kids off the streets, off the computers and into a positive environment surrounded by good people.
For one hour they can come down, train hard, have a laugh, meet other young people and be part of a community.
For me, this is bigger than fitness.
I know how easy it is for young people to go down the wrong path when they don’t have the right environment around them. If we can use fitness to give them structure, discipline, confidence and somewhere they actually WANT to be, then that’s what we’re going to do.
No judgement. No pressure. Just turn up and get involved.

📍 Optimal Hybrid Academy ⏰ Every Saturday, 11am–12pm 👊 Ages 11–16 💰 COMPLETELY FREE
Let’s give the next generation somewhere positive to go.
Fitness can change lives. Let’s start them young. 💙

Trust me when I say this I’m coming for it all.

This is the come up.

I’ve been at rock bottom.
I’ve been paralysed.
I’ve been locked up.
I’ve walked paths most people know nothing about.

But I’m still fucking here.

I set goals every week. Every month. And I don’t just talk about them I tick them off.

Next weekend — Half Marathon.
Then — Málaga Marathon.
HYROX Birmingham.
HYROX London.

Next year — Ironman 70.3 Bolton.

And I can’t even fucking swim yet.

But I’ll learn.

Those are the ones set in stone. And once I set my mind on something, I’m going after it.

I know where I’ve come from. I know what I’ve survived. And I know where I’m going.

This is go season.

Trust me — I’m coming for it all.

No more guesswork.

I had my VO₂ test today to see exactly where my fitness is and set my training zones properly. I’ve put the work in, and now I’ve got the numbers to guide what comes next.

Manchester Half next weekend. Time to see what I can do. 🏃‍♂️

Thankyou for the test brilliant service @performancelabmcr

5K PB: 17:50 🔥

Sub-18. I’ve wanted this one for a while. I’ve stayed consistent with my running, kept putting the work in, and today it paid off.

Happy with that result. Now it’s time to get locked in for the Manchester Half next weekend and see if I can unlock another PB.

Keep showing up. Keep levelling up. The results will come. 👊

It’s good to know the impact our Hybrid training is having on these kids.

But hearing it directly from a young person who says it’s genuinely changed and impacted his life that means everything.

This is exactly why we started Optimal Hybrid Academy. It’s bigger than fitness. 💙
