Triathlon pushes us physically, but it also tests us mentally. So much of this sport happens alone … early mornings, late rides, long runs in your own head. It can be easy to forget how powerful it is to have people around you who just get it. Personally, I don’t think I’ve struggled too much on the mental side of things… and I think it’s because I’ve surrounded myself with people I can trust to help me through those tougher times… share any pain points, and understand that others go through tough times too, both in sport and out. It’s helped reduce any woes I had quickly and allowed me to be a stronger, healthier person, mentally and physically. This short film is a reminder that while we might train to be stronger athletes, we also need to look out for each other as people. Check in on your mates. A simple message can make a bigger difference than you think. I can’t grow a moustache … but I can somewhat edit and have plenty of content 👍🏻 #MentalHealthMatters Youarenotalone

This video takes you inside one of the hardest periods of my triathlon career. In the buildup to Ironman Leeds, I unknowingly raced with shingles. What followed was months of fatigue, frustration, and learning the hard way about true recovery. I share how I managed to get through it, what I’ve learned about post-viral fatigue, and why sometimes the best way forward is to take a step back.
