Vegetarian FAQ
I am not really sure if I have mentioned my vegetarian diet (or probably more accurate - pescetarian diet), since my most recent post. It is something that always is brought up as small talk at any wedding/dinner party/funeral and I thought I would write about it. How long have you been a veggie? I … Continue reading Vegetarian FAQ
10 Miles Into The Longest Run…
The Spartan Beast was a huge achievement in many ways - it was the longest distance I have run and the longest period of time that I have had my fitness tested over. How did I get through this? I powered myself with protein bars, energy gels, energy bars, nuts, fruit, water, Lucozade Sport. Yet when … Continue reading 10 Miles Into The Longest Run…
Herbal Life Zombies
The other day I had a nightmare. I went to the gym and the guy on reception decided to make small talk, which sounded out of character. He constructed sentences in what sounded like a sales pitch.

This was something I found quite … Continue reading Review: How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still win big

What blows my mind is … Continue reading Does health and fitness information overload stop progress?
How To Set A Good Nutrition System
So I read the new Scott Adams book. Of particular interest was his idea of having a system, against having goals. Basically he says goals are for losers as they are short term and when the goal is reached (such as losing 5lbs), a person will go back to their old habits and put the … Continue reading How To Set A Good Nutrition System
