Who else is familiar with this? I’m not a doctor, neither am I a nutritionist so I urge you to take this post as one that is written by a layman. I did, however, suffer from Raynaud’s phenomenon for 14 years and now no longer suffer from it. Phenomenon – there is no known cause or cure. Before I delve into this more, let me … Continue reading 4 Ways to Cure Raynaud’s Phenomenon
On Saturday 6th May 2017, I joined the Sub 7 indoor rowing team, to set a new World record for the fastest team to row 100km. Rowing 20 strokes at maximum effort, followed by 4.5 minutes rest for 5.5 hours non-stop seemed doable, but it turned out it was tougher than it sounds. We rowed 100km in 5:36:30.5 and now have confirmation from Concept2 that we are … Continue reading 100km Indoor Rowing World Record

I genuinely thought the amount of stress and pressure I’d put my brain under the … Continue reading I am NOT inspiring
March 2016 ChallengeAfter the success of my February Challenge, The #SugarFreeFeb gang and I decided to continue with another monthly challenge: The 30 Day Cold Shower Challenge!

08/03/19I’ve just got in from a training session in the shed. It really is as grim as it sounds. It’s a bog-standard 5m x 2m wooden shed which I imagine was bought from somewhere like B&Q. It’s not top of the range, full of damp, with a plastic window covered in moss and a buckled door. The luxury! My Concept2 rowing machine sits right in … Continue reading Who Turned Off The Lights???
It seems entering challenges without notice might be becoming a thing. Maybe I stitched myself up with one my latest posts about saying yes to opportunity and tempted fate on this one??? Here’s a short video of my experience. I didn’t get any footage at the end of the event as I was too busy being cold. It turns out, I may have needed a bit more mindset … Continue reading Tough Guy Obstacle Race – Winter 2017
