Some news is harder to process than others.

Not knowing whether to post or not, but I just have to.

Like so many others, I'm heartbroken to hear of Shane's passing yesterday after a tragic accident. My thoughts are with his family, friends, teammates, and everyone in the cycling community who knew and loved him 🇮🇪🇬🇧🚴🏻‍♂️

I only knew Shane for four days while working with his team in France, less than two weeks ago, but even in such a short space of time, you make a connection with people and they make an impact. Shane was a lovely, polite and incredibly talented young man who left an impression on everyone around him.

One memory that has stayed with me is Shane chatting with the Coles brothers about whose farm had the best cows. It's a small moment, but it captures something of who he was.

It's often these simple conversations that stay with us long after the noise fades.

Thinking of Shane and everyone who loved him.

Rest in peace. Gone far too soon. 💔😢

Brilliant trip away in France looking after the team, and looking forward to the next one.

UCI 2.1

A fantastic trip away with in France last week. Thank you for the opportunity to work and travel on the continent supporting athletes.

Alot of people see the race results but not always the hours behind it! For me and the other staff it was hours upon hours of driving, keeping the lads fueled and hydrated, race feed zones, sports massage, and helping with recovery to allow them to perform across multiple stages.

5 long days, plenty of logistics and a fair few miles covered, but incredibly rewarding to support such a dedicated group of young riders.

The lads rode so well picking up alot of points, jerseys and podiums!

Another weekend, another race support! It's the North of England Champs today, a gorgeous day in Yorkshire and another feed zone to sit at for 3 hours 😂☀️

Mike rode in the break all day and made some strong moves and positioned himself perfectly. Strong attack with a lap to go, but got out sprinted at the end.

On the way back we stopped at Fountains Abbey and again for a Carvery feed 😋

Amazing stuff by Rob, he's performed so well and smashing out PBs left right and centre!

Another great ride from coached rider Rob of .cc at the weekend, smashing his 100 mile TT PB by over 10 minutes 👏

What makes it even better is that his previous best was set 10 years ago. Now in his mid-50s, Rob is a brilliant example of how much we can still improve as masters athletes with the right training, consistency and preparation 💪🏼

It’s been a pleasure working with Rob over the past 7 months. His dedication and discipline have been exceptional, and it’s allowed us to add over 40W to his FTP while ticking off some huge goals along the way, including Dirty Reiver and now the Anfield 100 mile TT ⚡️

In preparation for the TT, we brought Rob into for a lactate threshold test. We carried this out on his TT bike and in full aero position to make the testing as race-specific as possible. From there, we could fine tune a pacing strategy that would give him the best chance of producing his strongest ride on the day.

Nutrition and hydration are absolutely critical in an event of this length, especially in hot conditions. Underfuel and you’re in trouble late on. Over the past few months we’ve worked hard on getting this right in training, and it paid off — Rob was still producing some of his best numbers towards the end of the ride ⛽️

Even more impressive given how hot it was on the day 🥵

Outstanding ride from Rob and thoroughly deserved!

Here's one for those who love endurance!

Every mile and minute adds load to the body.

Over time, long distance running, cycling, and other extended exercise create muscular tension, fatigue, and physical stress that the body needs help managing.

♦️Soft Tissue Therapy and Sports Massage play an important role in preparation, recovery, and ongoing maintenance, helping the body continue to perform under demand.

The body performs better when it’s looked after properly. FACT!

♦️Many athletes and active individuals use regular treatment, recovery, and maintenance to support how their body moves and performs.

♦️Better recovery and performance aren’t a coincidence, they’re the result of consistent care and effective methods that keep the body functioning under demand.
