I woke up on Sunday 16th of July at 82.5kg. That’s the heaviest I have ever been, I’m usually 79-80g. I know: I’m much smaller in real life than people expect. I don’t really give a crap about my weight. The only thing that interests me about my bodyweight is its implications for my rela...

I need to get fit. Much as I have loved the last 5 months of adventuring, it has not been good for my health. Too much beer, too many cakes and too long sitting on long-haul transportation has done terrible things to my body. I am fatter than ever before, my muscle has shriveled to the point of u...

Dear friends. After more than TEN YEARS of searching, I have finally found the ultimate workout plan. Having dedicated the last decade of my life to exercising, rocking and partying, it is frankly staggering to me that I couldn't come up with this myself. It all seems so simple now! Behold: [yo...

Today, after dropping my brother at Gatwick airport to go adventuring, I had my first ever training session at Monster Gym in Cheshunt. One of my favourite things about Monster Gym is that, alongside its enormous weights room, dedicated cardio area and boxing/MMA gym (including bags, ring and...

I haven't been here long, but I have come to love exercising and working out in Australia. I find it infinitely more energising than going to the gym in the UK, where even in the summer I have started waddling in stiff and aching from the cold, hunched over and dripping wet, wondering why I even bo...

According to the Native American calendar, the 22nd of March will see the end of the Wolf Month and the start of the Month of the Falcon. Oh, it will also be two year to the day since I started this blog... In honour of this tradition of naming months after kickass animals (as well as some disappo...

Just a quick post today to say that I went back to High Wycombe Amateur Boxing Club last week with my brother, and went again tonight. An absolutely killer combination of fitness and technique work, the class has improved even further for 2013 and is now one of my absolute favourite places to train....

Today, I went for a run. It way my first run since the Super Spartan race in September...which was my first run since the Spartan Sprint in July, which was also my first run since Tough Guy this time last year. So, today saw my forth run in 12 months, bringing my total distance covered in a YEAR ...
Continue reading ...Today, I went back to my dojo for the first time in months, with one goal in mind - to figure out if my body can still move properly... The good news is that yes, it seems to be functioning just fine after weeks of booze and food and general inactivity. The bad news is that...erm...well, I sup...
Continue reading ...OK, so here goes my plan to explain how I train on each day of the week. I know, I know - it's boring as hell. But here goes...Monday, or Mōnandæg as it is in Old English. It means Day of the Moon, essentially. That's pretty cool, eh? Now, as everybody knows, the Guild have ten times their no...
Continue reading ...After a hellacious, but wonderfully enjoyable eleven days of chaos, I have finally managed to get back to training. Having left my job in favour of performing feats and enjoying every moment of life, I now have more time available to train and perform. That's the theory, anyway. So far, however, I ...
Continue reading ...As I sit here in this gym, I have no shits left to give. Every miniscule amount of progress I make is either immediately lost or falls by the wayside, as I struggle to improve elsewhere. Inside or outside my training, I'm starting to feel totally numb to everything. For every month I spend hit...
