A healthy (mentally and physically) dad is good for the family. Also, great to be a healthy role model for the kids.

We're just back from Chamonix, my first time in 18 years and first time with trail running shoes. And I'm happy to say I'm fitter now than I was 18 years ago. #trailrunning #running #chamonix youtu.be/399mSeALY-E

Chamonix has been everything I'd hoped for, amazing trails and fitness increase without breaking myself. Nice little run in the forest with 508m of ascent. #trailrunning

My daughter's name is Iona!

Thanks!!

Looking for a bit of local knowledge, would you have a sports massage therapist in Chamonix you'd recommend?

First (and biggest) run of the holidays, 1281m of ascent. Up to Plan de l'Aiguille, along the Grande Balcony Nord to Montenvers, and back to the campsite. #trailrunning

We'll be seeing that in approximately 1.5 hours! I've got Grande Balcon Nord planned for tomorrow. 🏃

A wee video of our trip last weekend, the views were glorious. Don't think I've ever had it hotter in the Scottish hills #hiking #wildcamping #munrobagging youtu.be/-dD0PLyf1oQ

Consistency pays off. Finally tipped over into the next category in my Garmin Endurance Score. Now to aim for "elite". #running

Anyone get a bit twitchy on recovery weeks when they see this? #running #runningtraining

I've found AI a great way to get accessibility on the roadmap. I don't care, by hook or by crook we'll make it better!

I still get noise from my wife about using paternity leave to build a shed. 11 years ago.

Was in exactly the same situation a few weeks ago. Decided it was time to invest in some decent wired cans for editing.

Well, that was tough going! First ever marathon distance training run, longest run by 8km, biggest overall running week at 76km. It was 664m of ascent and some of the paths were so overgrown that the going was difficult.
Last 10km were hard, had IT band pain on my right knee. #running #trailrunning

Picture of my Garmin watch showing a training readiness score of 97

Ready for tomorrow's long run! #trailrunning #running

Trying to decide what to wear tomorrow, jacket and shorts, full waterproofs or a wetsuit. At least there isn't much wind forecast. #trailrunning

☹️ sadly not, spent most of the day on a train.

Not the best run ever, tight calves and shins for most of it, just didn't feel smooth. But still managed to do 95% in zone 2, so that's a tick.
It'll be a 54km week by the time I've had a recovery run tomorrow. Still a long way to go before I'm a 50 mile runner!

Recent focus has just been about building more base and it's nice to feel I can now run longer distances at lower effort. youtu.be/wivgPoEeFqs #trailrunning

Well, that was a fun weekend! Short run on Saturday to save my legs for Sunday's Kickboxing grading, pizza from our brick oven on Saturday evening (taking carb loading seriously) then mountain biking with a couple of dads and the kids. #running #kickboxing #pizzaoven #mtb

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Carb loading for tomorrow's kickboxing grading #pizza

While not technically a trail run apart from the last 5km, I had a great day out on Sunday with my daughter, did 7 mountains. #trailrunning #hiking youtu.be/PZ49nt4Xpfk

I think trail running is a solid basis for any relationship
