I’m in my 40s and I can still outsprint girls half my age.

Not luck. Not genetics. Training.

Here’s what actually keeps you fast as you get older:

🏃 Sprint - you don’t practise speed, you lose it
🏋️ Strength training - speed starts with force
🦵 Single-leg work - every sprint stride happens on one leg
💥 Plyometrics - teaches your body to produce force fast
🔥 Hamstring work - non-negotiable, first thing to go if you ignore it

Age isn’t the limit. Training is.

Save this if you needed the reminder, and send it to someone who thinks speed is a young person’s game.

Think being “athletic” doesn’t apply to you?

Being athletic isn’t about being an elite athlete.

It’s about:

Being able to sprint when you need to.
Jump.
Balance.
Carry heavy things.
Get off the floor.
Change direction.
Hike all day on holiday.
Play with your kids or grandkids.
Catch yourself when you trip.
Saying YES to physical challenges.

You don’t suddenly become “old” one day.
You gradually lose the things you stop practising.

But you can build these qualities at 40, 50, 60 and beyond.

Aging isn’t the enemy.
Letting yourself become inactive is.

Been ill for a week and wondering how to get back into training? 👇

SAME!

First things first...

You haven’t lost all your fitness, even if it feels like it.

A week off isn’t going to undo months (or years) of hard work.

What will set you back is trying to make up for lost time.

❌ Don’t cram extra sessions into your week
❌ Don’t punish yourself with longer workouts
❌ Don’t expect to pick up exactly where you left off

Instead:

💧 Rehydrate properly
😴 Prioritise sleep
🏃 Ease back into training
🍝 Fuel yourself properly

This week is all about getting back into training SLOWLY!

Anyone joining me on the “getting back on it” train this week?

A lot of people think being athletic means playing sport, having a six-pack, or training like an Olympian.

I don’t.

Athleticism isn’t about how you look.

It’s about what your body can still do.

Ask yourself:

💪 Am I getting stronger?
⚡ Am I getting more powerful?
🏃 Am I getting faster?
🧘 Am I maintaining my mobility?
❤️ Am I getting fitter?

You can make a huge difference with 1–2 strength sessions, some sprinting and 5–10 minutes of mobility a day.

That’s athleticism.

I go into detail on what this looks like on this weeks podcast.

COMMENT POD TO LISTEN (not just for athletes 💪)

Only 4 months left of this year 🤯

If I wanted to finish 2026 fitter, faster and stronger in my 40s, here’s what I’d start doing tomorrow:

1️⃣ Prioritise sleep
^^^this is #1 because it’s soooo important

2️⃣ Move in ways I enjoy

3️⃣ Stop avoiding carbs

4️⃣ Spend 10 mins a day on mobility

5️⃣ Lift weights at least twice a week

6️⃣ Focus on consistency

Being athletic in your 40s isn’t about training more

It’s about doing the basics well, consistently

Which one do you need to work on most right now? 👇

Competing soon?

Forget the fancy supplements and listen to what has to say!

Your first question is: Have you got your carbs sorted? 🍌⚡️

Because fuel beats supplements every single time when it comes to performance.

What’s your go-to pre-game fuel? ⬇️
