Hello all! Well well well what an absolute blast the last two weeks! Racing and exploring Japan was super cool but I’ll save that for another post. But what I did want to talk about was how much it reminds me how much structure matters when life, travelling and training both get busy. What keeps things moving forward in those phases isn’t hype or discipline for the sake of it but having a plan you trust. When structure is in place, you don’t waste energy deciding what to do or questioning if you’re doing enough. You just execute, adjust where needed, and stay consistent. This is something I see all the time in hybrid prep. Progress comes from clear planning and commitment, not from waiting to feel “ready” or motivated every day. So a question for you guys! Where could a bit more structure help you right now, in your training or outside of it?

Hey team 🤍 Quick one from me! I want to apologise for being a bit quiet in here over the last couple of months. Truth is, I’ve been going through some pretty big changes behind the scenes. Some of them slowed things down more than I expected, and I didn’t show up here in the way I normally do or want to. But those changes weren’t a stop! They were a transition. And they’ve actually been laying the groundwork for some big plans I’m building for Hybrid Endurance Coach so this will be of more value for you long term. I’m excited to be back in here properly, sharing more, and bringing you along for what’s next! I’ll drop a video below talking through my nutrition book, why I created it, and how it fits into everything moving forward. Thanks for sticking with me guys! Genuinely means a lot 💛

This guy! Before vs after. London Hyrox - 9 minutes faster! Paolo has big goals! And he came into this race with the mindset of ‘be better than the last version of himself’. Following along on his splits I was super excited for him. Run faster, burpees smoother, lunges stronger. He finished this doubles race absolutely buzzing! This is what consistency looks like. This is what happens when you commit to the work, even on the weeks that don’t go perfectly. Proud coach moment and we’re just getting started. Great result Paolo 👏🏽

The next video testimonial is from Tonia, and I’m so excited for you to hear her story. She came to me with a solid CrossFit engine! That means grit for days, plenty of strength, and all the burpee exposure you could ever need. But what she didn’t love? Running. What she wanted? A sub 1:25 on her first Hyrox. So I built her running from the ground up. Mechanics, pacing, and consistency; nothing fancy here, just purposeful work that turned something she hated into something she could actually lean into. She still won’t call herself a “runner” but she appreciates it now, understands it, and knows the role it plays in Hyrox performance. Her results from Taipei to Bangkok Hyrox; She shaved 4 minutes off her time. That’s effort, and that’s her sticking to programming that has paid off. Tonia now has the Hyrox bug!

Here’s the thing about racing… it doesn’t have to be just about the medals, the PBs or the podium. It’s one of the most powerful tools you have for growth, mentally, physically, and emotionally. When you step onto that start line, you expose yourself to pressure, uncertainty, pace changes, adrenaline, and all the things training can’t fully replicate. And that exposure is what builds confidence. You prove to yourself that you can perform when it matters, not just on your best training days. Racing also gives you real data! Not just numbers, but feedback on your movement, your pacing, your decision making, your mental game. Even if you don’t PB, you walk away knowing exactly where you’ve improved and what needs tightening. Perfect example: Today in Singapore, our running pace was over a minute faster than our last race. We didn’t magically become fitter overnight but the mechanics, the drills we do before all of our running sessions, the efficiency work (and SO many lunges), the intentional pacing… the programming you’re following right now is doing exactly what it’s meant to do. That’s why racing matters. It validates the work. It builds belief. It puts you under the lights and shows you that you’re capable of more than you thought. So if you’re sitting on the fence about signing up for a race.. do it! Use it as a confidence builder, a pressure test, and a progress check. Every race teaches you something. Every race sharpens you. Every race prepares you for the next and when you walk away realising, “Wow this is actually working”… that’s the real win 🥇
