Read excerpt
I have had three knee surgeries, a ruptured ACL and a right kneecap that niggles me regularly.

Not just as an athlete, but as a human being who wants to actually enjoy the life they have worked hard to build. This
Why Winter Training Falls Apart and What to Do About It — With Simon and Beth Ward (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Consistency is the word every great coach comes back to eventually. Not volume, not intensity, not the latest methodology. Consistency. But saying it and doing it are very different things.

This week Simon and Beth do a proper deep dive into what consistency actually means in practice, and specifically what habits and actions protect
