Belvoir Castle Triathlon 🔱 second Olympic distance but no PB’s 😔

A very tricky course! From the 600m run to transition 1, to a very hilly trail run.

And absolute disaster (again) on the swim 😂 check out story for details.

But it wasn’t all bad! The bike has been flying around the hills of Sheffield recently and PB out on course confirmed some improvements.

And the best part - surprise visit from from favourite support team ♥️ thanks

Big shout out to for the unrivalled race kit!

A track record that’s hard to match. Another one for the wall 📌 Claire locked in. Buried the bad habits. Followed the blueprint to a tee.

Stats after 12 weeks…

Weight: 68.5kg → 58.1kg
Body fat: 36.6% → 24.3%
Metabolic age: 52 → 28

There’s a lot more to come from Claire, but this was too good not to share at 12 weeks.

And yes!… I still stand them infront of the R5 sign and snap it on my phone.

In a world of photoshoot transformations, AI, jabs, peptides and all the other bo****ks in this industry.

I’m still out here doing it the right way.

Hard work, quality programming, proper coaching.

The R5 way 💪🏼🫡

What a way to spend Father’s Day! Big up the team 🙌🏼

Sheffield sprint triathlon was the best yet. Racing alongside clients. Nothing beats it!

Massive shout out to Sarah H and for all there hard work for this. Both had their own challenges in prep but crossed that finish line like champs.

Thanks for the support. Love you to everyone who came down ♥️🌹

This one meant a lot ✊🏼

Some thought it was unwise to compete.
Some thought it was madness.
Some thought it was admirable.

Injuries and set backs are part and parcel. Rare I’ve entered any event with a body that feels optimal.

All you can do is follow your gut and do what you think is right.

Might get stung. Might walk home with a medal.

No regrets. I’d do it all over again just to see that look of admiration in her little face.

Swim, bike, run 🫡

Big step forward in the triathlon training with a mock Olympic Tri this morning.

Testing out the tri-suit. Seeing if the legs can cope. Trialling some new energy gels.

Nothing to shout home about pace wise, just enjoying being out there.

Shame we couldn’t organise an outdoor swim but hopeful I’ll get the wet suit on before 7th June.

Massive shout out to Sarah who joined me 🙌🏼

A long term client who’s recently joined and has her first sprint triathlon next month too.

Morning well spent 😎

“I just wanna look like I go to the gym” - James Carnall 4 months ago.

3 years into training and the newbie gains had ran out, the wheels were officially spinning for James.

There’s no greater motivation killer than lack of progress. Slogging it out in the gym, but your physique and performance aren’t matching your effort.

So common. Even with all the info out there today.

So what went wrong?

As most do, James spent too long on the same program, he wasn’t being savvy with his nutrition and he wasn’t working muscles well enough to stimulate growth.

We had a big overhaul of his program. He learned about periodisation, the minutiae around exercise ex*****on, learnt how to push himself a little harder (he’ll admit, still an ongoing mission), plus what needs to be consumed to achieve the shape he wanted.

James’s discipline and thirst for knowledge has made his first 4 months here at R5 a very productive one.

Great work mate 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

100km ticked off ✅ ouch!

Had to go to that place this morning. Pain cave after 75km.

Pork pies still the elite endurance fuel. Low volume high cal. Perfect for the back pouch stash.

Another big week all round. Swimming just felt smooth and getting more effortless. You know it’s getting there when 1k flies by without checking that watch.

I still need to be quicker on the runs. I know that. Pulled a hammy last month and it put me off sprints. Back in this week so far so good.

Definitely eyeing up some 70.3’s 🫣

After 11 years in business, you’ll do well to find anyone with a bad word to say about R5.

Rare in an industry rife with charlatans.

This is my passion, my purpose, R5 it’s my life’s work.

You can’t fake that. Just like to can’t fake these reviews and the reputation that’s been built.

Hell, i’d do this for free if I didn’t have to keep the lights on 😂

Watching others perform better, progress further, optimise their routine, all whilst looking good doing it. Nothing better!

I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

Best job in the world (although ‘job’ is a strong word 😅)

Thanks for the lovely words from everyone above and the 100’s of other reviews R5 has had 🙏🏼
