Training diaries update: setbacks and injuries 🤕🩼

After having set a goal of achieving a sub 20 minute 5km alongside , I have had a rocky road the past couple of months injury wise.

I haven’t done a full running session in over 2 months due to injury, and I’m currently awaiting results from an MRI to guide further management.

Despite this, I’m doing my best to control the controllables.

I’m still getting in my zone 2 and threshold sessions on the bike and ergs, and keeping on top of my rehab and strength training.

While being injured, I’ve also put an added emphasis on recovery practices such as nutrition - making sure I’m hitting my protein target with clear whey, making it super easy to get my protein in post training 💪

The fitness is there, just need my foot/shin the recover now 📈

The reality is you don’t need some magic new toy or supplement to lose weight, you need long-term consistency with the basics.

Slow, steady change will always beat dramatic, unsustainable approaches.

The basics being:
- A small calorie deficit (it doesn’t have to be every single day, but you do need to be in one on average over a long period of time. This is the ONLY way to lose weight)
- Decent nutrition practice. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Aiming for 30g+ protein with each meal, 30g+ fibre per day, increasing fruit/veg intake, and drinking lots of water. Do all of that regularly and you’re on the right path.
- Exercise (a combination of resistance training & cardio ideally, although neither are essential for weightloss to occur). Most people seeking weightloss wish for a more ‘toned’ look, in which resistance training will be your best friend.
- Daily movement. You burn a lot less calories in the gym than you think, and you’ll burn a lot more with what you do outside of the gym. No magic step number, but being consistently active overtime is the key.
- Sleep. The foundation and one of the lowest hanging fruit, when this goes out the window everything else is f*cked
- Sustainability and enjoyment. If you don’t enjoy your food, the type of exercise you do, or feel like everything is a MAJOR effort - chances are you won’t sustain it. Again, slow and steady. Don’t overhaul everything at once.

Are you taking the easy way out?

I have numerous current clients who are using GLP-1s to assist long-term weightloss, and a common trend I’ve noticed amongst many of them is the shame they attach to using the drugs to aid weightloss.

But the shame isn’t often theirs, it’s imparted upon them by those surrounding them.

Many even feel shame in telling me initially, as they anticipate judgement due to previous reactions.

What are your views on this?

This post could be so much longer and is lacking nuance, but an important topic of conversation nonetheless!
