My ultramarathon was meant to be this week. I had hoped to be running through the finishing line as I was giving the update so I’m sorry for being a bit bummed out. I am so proud of everyone setting goals: I’ve heard about so many of you running your first run in years, shooting for 5kms, 10kms, half marathons, marathons and ultras. You can’t imagine how freaking proud it makes me. It’s never about how big the goal looks on the outside, but how much it means to you and how much self-belief it helps build. No workout in today’s video as I’m really resting up and taking time away from running/the gym, but a new boyf for me thanks to all of you generous people 💗🤍
Just want to mention: the race wasn't Western States. I'm not ready yet but I appreciate the faith! I'll be doing a different race in a few weeks, once I've had a little rest and worked on some more rehab for my ankle (: Can't wait to make it happen!

To help us raise $40,000 for endometriosis research, you can also contribute to the GoFundMe fundraiser at: gofundme.com/f/raising-40000-for-endometriosis-research All proceeds go directly to EndoFound!
Thanks to lululemon for sponsoring the workout segments of this video: I’m wearing lululemon in my workouts (: All other content is entirely editorial as always with zero input from any brand 🤍
A full week of training for my ultramarathon which is getting scarily close! I’m back to running a little more regularly now, though I’m still cycling in the gym too to protect my ankle in the final stages of recovery. The gym workout in this video is a good example of the types of core and leg strengthening I’ve been doing so feel free to take them and try them! This week I also helped announce a new scientific research program (slightly terrifying, insanely exciting) into female runners and took a couple of fitness tests to help me manage my race as best I can! Love you!
The gym I visited in Vancouver is called HouseConcepts! I paid for my membership ofc, I just like to shoutout great work (: I recommend!

Protein! Science! Explained! Everything you need to know about protein, whether your goal is to build muscle, strength, lose fat or improve your endurance performance. In this video we go through the optimal total protein intake for each goal, if there are any benefits to particular intake timings, whether an ideal intake distribution exists and anything else like advice for vegans. With this video, you'll know everything you need to know about protein! (:

A full week of workouts training towards my 100 mile (160km) Ultramarathon in just a few months! I'm not able to run yet, which is a slight problem, but there's still a huge amount of training I can do in the gym and on the bicycle to build my endurance capacity and prepare my body! This is all my workouts this week, though my routine is changing almost every week to increase my fitness! Proud of you, keep pushing yourselves 👏

Hey my friends! I haven't done a What I Eat in a Day for a while to show my full day of eating, so now that I'm increasing my calorie intake to go alongside the extra training for my 100 mile Ultramarathon I thought it would be a good time for an update (: My goal is to fuel myself to the best of my ability without needing to make the whole experience distract me from living life (too much, I know it's a big challenge!)
Hope you're happy and eating and exercising the way that makes you feel fulfilled!
RECIPES!
LUNCH:
Beetroot & Orange salad (serves 2):
500g pack of cooked beetroot
3 mandarins/2 oranges (anything orangey works!)
50g feta (crumbled)
40g walnuts (crushed)
Handful of mint
Salad leaves of any kind (probably not rocket though because the flavour will over-power the rest!)
Lemon, Salt & Olive oil to taste
Slice the beetroot and oranges into medium slices and toss together with walnuts, feta, mint and salad leaves in a bowl. Season to taste with lemon, salt & olive oil and serve!!
Lemon & Harissa Chicken (serves 2):
3 skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half length-ways)
1 unwaxed lemon
7 cloves garlic (peeled)
1.5 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp Harissa spice mix
All seasoning spice (optional)
Pinch of salt
Coat the chicken both sides with smoked paprika, harissa, all-seasoning spice and salt (add more of whichever you like). Heat a lightly greased pan to low-medium heat, add the chicken and cover for 20 minutes. Remove the lid for the remaining 5 minutes and cook at high heat to remove all the excess moisture and stop just when the chicken starts browning. Serve and enjoy!
DINNER:
Sweet potato gratin (serves 2):
4 medium sweet potatoes (long and thin)
30g butter (melted)
Garlic (3 crushed garlic cloves or 1 tbsp garlic powder if you’re lazy like me)
1 tbsp sea salt flakes
1-2 Rosemary sprigs
Heat the oven to 190C. Keep the skin on the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly. Add them to a mixing bowl and add the butter, garlic and salt making sure that every slice is evenly coated. Arrange them into a baking dish or an oven-proof pan. Cover with aluminium and cook for 30minutes. Then remove the aluminium, add some rosemary on top and cook for another 30 minutes until the top has browned and the potatoes are fully cooked! Serve with whatever you like! I did white fish which I added to the oven at the 30 minute mark.
The fish was super easy, I just placed it between 1 sheet of baking foil and baking paper and just drizzled a bit of olive oil, salt, parsley and added some lemon slices before wrapping it up and chucking it in the oven for 30-40mins until cooked throughout.

I’ve had so many people tell me ‘I’m not a runner’ or ‘I can’t run’ recently, and yet I’m 100% so sure you could feel comfortable and confident running with a couple of the right tips around speed, technique, increasing your distance and how to think about your runs. If you want to enjoy running more, build your endurance and break that perception that running isn’t for you, this is everything I think you need to know to love it and find a happy running routine (: And if you don’t want to run and wanna workout in other ways, do your thing! 👏 As long as you’re happy and feeling good, you’re working out perfectly 🙌

This year, I want to challenge myself to keep growing by developing my aerobic fitness while protecting the strength I have built to eventually take on a 100 mile ultramarathon. This sport has been speaking to me a lot lately, and I think the purpose of a clear goal with a clear date will really help me enjoy my workouts even more by challenging me to continually learn, and study the Sports Science around running and strength in a super hands-on way. I can’t wait to try and hope you push yourself with your workouts, but way beyond your fitness too!! Let’s build that self-belief and support a charitable cause doing it, so everyone wins together.

The Physiotherapy company that helped me recover from a sprained ankle ligament is called Evoker Physiotherapy, in Sydney CBD: https://www.evokerpps.com.au
The team of incredible running experts helping me hone my running technique and protect my body through the next few months is The Running Room, based in Sydney: therunningroom.net
Like always, I would never recommend any company or service to you unless I was willing to pay full price for it myself. All support from the companies above was paid for at full price. I just believe in supporting people who have done right by me and I want to see such high levels of excellence and expertise rewarded!!

The internet is absolutely packed with "healthy habits we should all be doing" - foods to eat, drinks to eat, and daily routines to never skip if we want to be our healthiest, happiest selves. Some of these habits are great and could help you feel mentally and physically better, and some are a little...? Your healthy habits and routines that help you feel your best will be your own, and hopefully this video helps you cherry pick which you want to try.

Hey my friends! Today, we're living a day in the life of my fat loss approach that I explained in my video 'How to Lose Fat + Keep it Off // How Metabolism Works'. In that video I expanded on the type of calorie deficit, workouts, and general mindset I would recommend and this is what that routine would look like for me. My last fat loss phase was a year or so ago and I've been focussed more on strength building since.
Everybody and every body is different. Please remember this is about the overall mindset and thinking: my exact numbers won't work for you. Study yourself and your body, and work with a Registered Dietitian if you want exact, personalised nutrition guidance. This is all about the high level approach, and as a reminder that heavy calorie deficits and hating the process aren't needed (:
My YouTube videos that I mention at the start of this one:
How to Lose Fat + Keep it Off // How Metabolism Works: youtu.be/gWocc7i77oM
Why Diets Fail: youtu.be/WTpjQs0atxs
And for a great start to some reading on low energy availability and how it can really impact health, these papers have you covered:

A week without the carbohydrates that I love and need! Usually I average around 300g of carbs a day going by my last few What I Eat in a Week videos where I’ve track everything I eat. This week, I cut my carbs to under 100g and got just 13-15% of my calories from carbohydrates (instead of my usual 50-60%) to see if it made any difference to my workouts, diet and how I felt!

These are the systematic reviews and meta-analyses I quickly showed at the end of the video as I spoke about the science around carbohydrates. I wanted to keep this one science-light so this was a super quick run through!

Hey my friends! I know we've spoken a lot about healthy routines and habits and the best workouts, but none of it means much without the right mindset and without finding happiness. My mind has transformed even more than my body over the last 10 years, and deeply absorbing each of these lessons is why (:

Hey my friends! I’ve had HUNDREDS of DMs, emails, comments asking me about these routines and plans for syncing your workouts to your menstrual cycle from TikTok, YouTube and health magazines and websites. So let’s work through the science to see what we can and can’t learn about how to adjust your diet, routine and workouts

This is everything I ate in the week! Please don't forget, I'm not working towards fat loss or muscle building at the moment (I recently had phases of each until early this year), so this is me focussing on training-specific goals and enjoying my workouts! Everyone's diet and nutritional requirements are unique, so this is just for simple meal ideas and sharing how much things can vary for me day to day! Love ya 🤍
Recipes at your request!!:
Matcha Pancakes (makes 8 pancakes):
- 2 cups oats (you can use the same amount of plain flour if you prefer!)
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 large banana
- 2 cups milk (I used almond milk)
- 3 tsp baking powder
- Optional: sugar, salt, vanilla extract, 1tbsp oil ( I didn’t have any of these in mine but you can season to taste!)
Blend all the ingredients together in a mixer until smooth. Heat a lightly greased pan to medium-high heat and pour the batter. Cook for about 2-3 mins each side or until both sides are golden/greeny brown! Serve with anything you like! The grilled bananas are below 😘⬇️
For the bananas: Slice the bananas in half lengthways. Heat a lightly greased/ non-stick griddle pan to high heat. Add the bananas flat-side down and heat until golden brown stripes appear! Enjoy ❤️
Mac’n’cheese (serves 4):
- I followed this recipe (eatlean.com/about/blog/low-fat-macaroni-cheese-bake) but made a few swaps:
- Instead of using 2 pots of eat lean, I swapped one pot for dairy lea spreadable
- Instead of the bacon medallions, I just chopped 100g ham slices
- I didn’t have eat lean shaker so didn’t use it… but I don’t think it makes much of a difference (:
Flat bread (makes 4):
- 250g plain flour
- 250g greek yoghurt (5% fat)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: herbs, seeds, olive oil (I didn’t use any of these but they would all work!)
Mix the ingredient together into a bowl and knead for 5 minutes. You can cover the dough and leave it to rest for 2 hours if you wish - I skip this step often and I don’t personally notice a difference! Split the dough into 4 and roll it out so it’s about 3mm thin. Heat a lightly greased pan to high heat and lie the flat bread flat, cook for ~2mins both sides - it should puff a little bit! If there are a few brown spots that’s great too! Repeat for the remaining 3 flat breads and keep them warm in the oven or wrapped in foil until the remainder are cooked! Serve with chicken, tzatziki, tomatoes and cucumber!

Hey my friends! It’s been over a year since I started getting requests to review the 75 Hard challenge that’s been going viral on TikTok. It’s supposedly a mental toughness programme even though I’m 100% picking up fitness transformation / weight loss vibes when I look through people's interpretation of it! I took on the challenge for 48 hours and added my thoughts at the end (: I hope you enjoy it!!

Hey my friends! The requests for more Mario on the channel have been coming in thick so I spent a day attached to his side following his exact diet and workout as an excuse for us all to hang out (: His doesn't have a very regular fitness routine, but this is a little of what his day looked like ❤️🔥

Hey my friends! Today, I wanted to chill with you guys, have fun and make some food! I hope you enjoy the recipes if you give them a go! They’re all down below for you to try!!
Recipes:
———
Breakfast: Porridge Bites (makes 16 cupcake sized bites) (healthylittlefoodies.com/fruity-oat-breakfast-bites)
I didn’t have frozen fruit so I just used fresh and it worked out well, just use a little bit less so that it doesn’t go too soggy!
———
Lunch: Frozen Gyoza with Edamame salad (serves 2)
24 frozen gyoza (I had prawn and vegetable ones)
320g peeled edamame beans
1/4 red cabbage (shredded)
6 small carrots (sliced or shredded)
1 spring onions (sliced)
100g quinoa (uncooked)
Dressing: 2tbsp Sesame oil, 2tbsp soy sauce, 2tbsp white vinegar (change any of the ratios to your taste)
Start cooking the quinoa according to the instructions on the pack (or you can buy pre-cooked quinoa to save the time). Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables and mix together in a bowl. Set aside and reheat the gyoza according to the packet (I pan fried for 4 minutes, then added 3 tbsp water and covered for 4 minutes until hot throughout). Once the quinoa is cooked, add it to the veg bowl and mix through the dressing. Serve together with the cooked gyoza and enjoy!
———
Snack: Strawberry Cottage Cheese (serves 2)
400g light cottage cheese
200g strawberries (sliced)
12g satchet powdered gelatin
Optional sweetener of choice (I used sugar but anything works!)
Handful pistachios (optional)
Mix the cottage cheese with the gelatine and strawberries and sweeten to taste. Add pistachios if you like or any other toppings and enjoy!!
————
Dinner: Chicken, mango salsa and coconut rice (serves 2)
3 chicken breasts (halved)
Chicken seasoning of choice (salt + paprika is always nice!)
1 mango (chopped)
2 limes
1/2 red pepper (finely chopped)
1/2 small red onion (finely chopped)
Handful coriander (finely chopped) - I swap used parsley instead because… coriander…
2 x 250g packets of cooked rice (I chose coconut flavour because the flavours work so well!)
Season the chicken breasts. Heat a lightly greased pan to medium heat and add the chicken, cover and leave for 10-15mins until the meat is cooked through. Meanwhile, chop the mango, red pepper, coriander and red onion and mix into a bowl, squeeze over the juice of 2 limes, season with salt and mix well. Reheat the rice as per the instructions on the packet, remove the chicken from the heat and serve with the mango salsa! Enjoy!!

Hey my friends! This week, I wanted to experience the switch to a 60% dietary share of ultra-processed food, which is the average share of ultra-processed foods in the USA and the UK and more countries soon. I tried some incredible food and learnt so much about how to make whole food diets, exercise and staying healthy feel more accessible!

Will Smith’s weight loss journey is an amazing example to study and learn from. I’m so proud of Will for all his hard work through the series but wow exhausting is an understatement. Let’s go through some of the biggest changes that would have made his weight loss (fat loss) journey much more enjoyable while still getting results and staying healthy!

I lost a lot of muscle, strength, progress and confidence over the year I spent recovering from an injury. This is all about how I designed my training and changed my diet to lose fat and regain muscle to get back my old body composition, while also becoming stronger and more functional these last 3 months (:

Heat the oven to 180C. Mix the soy, honey, garlic, ginger, chilli flakes and pour over the chicken in a baking tray. Place the onion quarters and lemon around the chicken. Place in the oven for ~40mins taking it out halfway to turn the chicken and pour the sauce back over it. I served it with rice and a non-dressed coleslaw salad.

A full day of intuitive eating! Everything I eat in a day and my workout (: Love ya!
RECIPES:
Breakfast (serves 1), 10 minutes:
1 slice of toast
1 heaped tbsp ricotta - you can use greek yogurt or other alternatives (:
1 banana sliced
Maple syrup / honey to serve
Heat a lightly greased pan to medium-high heat. Add the banana halves and cook for a few minutes until it turns golden brown (don’t worry if it gets a bit gooey it’s all good!). Spread the ricotta onto your toast, then add the banana and any additional fruit or toppings and enjoy!
Lunch (serves 2), 12 minutes:
300g orzo pasta
1 handful salad leaves (spinach/parsley/shredded lettuce etc)
2 handfuls of vegetables (I had green beans and sugar snap peas. Alternatives could be kale, tomatoes, carrots, courgette etc.)
Handful of black olives
Handful of grilled peppers (from a jar)
2 cans of cooked tuna
2-3 tbsp Olive oil
2-3 tbsp vinegar
Pinch of salt
Cook the orzo according to the packet. Whilst it’s cooking, chop the vegetables roughly and add to a bowl. Once the orzo is cooked, drain and add to the bowl and add the olive oil, salt and vinegar to taste! Enjoy! Feel free to add anything else you're thinking, you really can’t go wrong here!
Dinner (serves 4), 25-30minutes:
8 Corn tortilla wraps
600g diced chicken breast
Fajita seasoning mix (the brand I used was Santa Maria)
1 pepper (sliced)
1 red onion (sliced)
1/2 cup cheese (grated)
2 avocados (smashed)
1 jar tomato salsa
1 cup sour cream
Handful of tomatoes (chopped)
Handful of coriander (optional)
1 lime (cut into segments)
1 can refried beans
Oil for cooking
Add 1-2tbsp oil to a large saucepan and heat to medium-high temperature. Add the pepper and onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Then add the chicken and cook thoroughly until the juices run dry. Meanwhile, assort the cheese, avocado, salsa, sour cream, tomatoes and lime into bowls to make it easy to serve. With 10 minutes left on the chicken, add the fajita seasoning mix to the chicken, mix and let simmer. Meanwhile, heat the refried beans according to the pack. When everything is ready, heat a dry pan to high to heat the tortillas for ~1min. Now you’re ready!! Enjoy!!

I hope you enjoy baking with us! I got this recipe from tasty.co/recipe/macarons - I definitely recommend watching the video first because that really helped me get it right and I’ve failed before so many times before 😂 To be honest, the butter cream frosting was too sweet for me, when I do it again I’ll probably replace the icing with some jam or something less sweet!! Hope you enjoy!!

I hope you enjoy this What I Eat in a Day! I’ve put down the recipes below so I hope you enjoy!!
PANCAKES (serves 2) (mine were made without measuring anything out but here’s a very very similar recipe!):

1/2 cup Plain flour
1 cup Milk of choice (I used soya milk)
1tbsp Oil (preferably not garlic infused)
1 tsp Salt
2tbsp Maple syrup
1/2 tsp Baking powder
Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add half the soya milk. Mix until a thick batter, then add the soya milk bit by bit to keep the mix smooth. Finally, mix in the oil and maple syrup. Heat a pan to medium/high heat and pour batter. Once small bubbles have started to pop on the surface, flip the pancake and cook until both sides are golden brown. Serve with whatever you love 😘😘😘
GREEK SALAD + CHICKEN (serves 2):
1 large Cucumber
5 large Tomatoes
1/2 Red onion
1 Green pepper
Handful Mint (optional but really good!)
~20 Olives
1/2 pack Feta
1tbsp Dried oregano
1/2 tbsp Olive oil
2-3tbsp Lemon juice
Salt
2 Chicken breast (seasoned)
Heat a pan to medium/high heat and cook chicken breast until juices run clear and cooked throughout. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by cutting them up into small cubes. Mix together and add in olive oil, lemon juice, salt and oregano. Serve the salad with the chicken breast and some bread (: enjoy (:
PRAWNS, AVOCADO SALAD + POTATO WEDGES (serves 2):
4 large Potatoes
2 Roasted rep peppers (from a jar)
2 medium Avocados
1 handful Parsley
1 small handful Chives
250g Prawns (cooked or uncooked, mine were already cooked)

Heat the oven at 180C. Cut the potatoes in thick wedge strips (~1 inch thick). Place in a baking tray and mix in chives, salt + pepper and 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Place in the oven for 40min and keep flipping them every 10mins if you want them extra crispy (: xx
Cut the avocado into chunks and chop the parsley. Mix together with 1tbsp lemon juice and salt and set aside. Then, add a touch of paprika and salt to the prawns, fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes and serve together with the potatoes, avocado and chopped red peppers.

Because you guys are asking ♥️:

💙 Jeans are 501 Levi's and the belt is from ASOS (:

Breakfast:
Super simple, all it needs are 2 slices of pumpernickel bread or seed bread, 1.5tbsp ricotta, banana, berries, pistachios and some maple syrup. Tbh ricotta is really soft so it goes with pretty much all sweet toppings ❤️
Lunch:
Please try this it’s so tasty, really easy to make and tastes really different to the food I typically eat (in a good way ofc)

Dinner:
This was based on the photo so this is my take on it (serves 2)
- 2 chicken breasts
- 4 slices of smoked bacon
- 2 cans lentils (any kind is fine, I used black beluga)
- 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 3tbsp vinegar (any kind)
- Handful of salad leaves (any kind)
- 10 radishes, sliced
For the Honey mustard dressing:
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp mustard (I mixed dijon and wholegrain)
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Preheat the oven to 180C (fan oven). Season the chicken, wrap in bacon and place in a tray to bake for ~45mins until the juices run clear. In a small bowl, place the onion slices in 3tbsp vinegar, mix the vinegar through and let sit until the chicken is cooked (they will start to pickle and lose their overpowering oniony flavour). Then in a large bowl, mix the lentils, tomatoes, radishes, and salad leaves. Once the chicken is cooked, add the onion and all the dressing to the salad bowl. Serve the salad on a plate, cut the chicken in slices and serve over the salad! Enjoy!! ❤️
Bruschetta/Pan con tomate (serves 2):
2 slices of sourdough bread
2 medium tomatoes, blended (strain if very liquidy)
1 clove garlic
1tbsp olive oil
Salt
Toast the bread. Once toasted, rub the garlic onto the bread. Then add olive oil, tomato and salt to taste and you’re all good to go (:
Pretzel bites - mine were from Mr. Pretzels in this video (not sponsored, just really like their pretzels 😂) but I’ve made some using the below recipe and they’re really good too!:
I just swapped the butter for coconut oil in the same ratios and it worked perfectly! I didn’t do the cream cheese but everything else was great and the recipe is really easy to follow!
