Resting Heart rate is a great indicator of health and fitness and generally the lower the better. When it is elevated it can be a sign of many types of physical and mental stress, over training or even illness. Whereas HRV (Heart Variability) can be a little more difficult to assess and make correlations. I always recommend people track this simple metric and make adjustments to training accordingly.

Take time to relax…even if it’s for a few precious moments. Leave your phone, turn off the TV and just breath 🙌

Sleep is a superpower and critical for mental and physical wellbeing. It can be affected by many things including stress, caffeine, screens, light exposure, alcohol, exercise, heat and cold exposure, nutrition and much more. I don’t get this score often, and wearables are not overly accurate but when I focus on the above factors my sleep 100% improves and I feel great.

You don’t need expensive gyms or fancy equipment to get the benefits or exercise. Just get outdoors in the fresh air and move your body. It could be walking, hiking, jogging, climbing, yoga, etc etc. Just do something you enjoy rather than grinding. And make sure you eat, drink and sleep well. Rock solid basics and consistency beat the latest fads and get results. Smile and keep it simple 🙏

A picture is worth a thousand words. What a week I got to race myself and also watch these incredible young people take over the mountains. Their energy and enthusiasm was contagious and you are truly inspiring. ❤️ ps i hope I haven’t missed any of you off 🙏

Some of the special people in my life - old and new. I am very fortunate to call you friends and you are inspirational. you dare a diamond geezer. And I have never become long lost friends with someone after 24 hours “where have you been” 😂 .

One of the most amazing testimonials I’ve ever had…..
“I just finished the 175 de km ‘cyclo-tour’ around the lake of Geneva last week-end. I would never have tried or believed I could do it before working with Terry! It’s been only a year, but Terry’s advice and programme has had such a visible impact on my fitness level and life. I hadn’t done any sports for the past ten years and was terribly unfit. Following my breast cancer diagnostic the year before, my mental and physical health got a serious hit. To cope, I started cycling and asked Terry for help.
Terry tailors the training programme to my needs, objectives and busy life and I’ve learned to trust the programme. I now cycle up cols and run with my triathlon friends. I haven’t been injured, I sleep better, eat better and I’ve been managing the side-effects of my medical treatments much better now. When I participate in an event, Terry’s advice has such an incredible soothing effect on any stress or doubts. I feel physically and mentally stronger and all of this while enjoying the fun of running and cycling!
Thanks Terry, I’m so grateful our paths crossed”

Now the dust has settled on my first trail race just wanted to share some personal learning I’ve had with the training, preparation and during the race. At the age of 50 this was the first time I’ve dealt with any setback during training with acceptance, enjoyed the process throughout and allowed myself to be in the moment during the race. I met some amazing people, smiled a lot, suffered a bit but savoured and can remember every step of the race. I only wish I had allowed myself to do this for the last 30 years - but you live and learn 😎

Amazing to finally meet the inspirational . You are a truly wonderful human being
