One Man, A Plan & A Dream.

Interval sessions, bikerg, assault bike sessions, strength sessions, weighted hikes that was just the training.

Going through a gym rebuild and rebrand along with planning pts, group pts and working with clients.

Living and laughing, training weekend aways & more training in between and planning for the race. All the fun that has already happened, has all been building up to the start of the race tomorrow 🙌🏼

Under the guidance of Damien & Conor at the @ironmindinstitute for the past 8 months, the work has been done.

Now time for Vinny to just soak it up, come what may and do himself proud 🙌🏼

Vinny is off ✈️
A nice 5:45am flight this morning to Morocco and then tomorrow they will head to the desert for 2 nights before they start the race!

What you see above is Vinny’s bag with all his food and supplies while he is in the desert, he will run with this for the 7 days. Getting lighter as the days go by no doubt his body becoming a wee bit more tired 🤪

Once Vinny hits the Sahara desert tomorrow there will be no mobile phone contact with him for roughly 9 days so I will update the page from his tracker and any pictures taken.

If you’d still like to donate the link is in the bio.

Keeping your feet healthy is one of the more important elements to getting through the marathon de sables 🦶

Taping up the feet for 24 hours to get my feet used to the tape and ensure they adapt over the next couple weeks. We’ll be doing this process regularly leading up to the race 😅

That’s the last of the waxing, hopefully 😂

Food prepping is proving a life saver. Every Sunday I prep 7 x Large burritos (in and around 800 calories), put it in the freezer and take it out the morning of and have it for lunch.

The most specific of our training is our weighted hikes (rucking).

Over the course of the race we will have to carry all of our equipment for the duration of the 7 days.
The bag for the race will weigh anything from 12-15kgs so adapting to the load while hiking/running is very important!

Sauna & Coffee morning to round out the year 🛖 ☕️ 🛀

A nice morning with some of our members who enjoyed a sauna in @the_sauna_snugg_ , some for the first time folllwed by a coffee at @perked_upcoffee 🙌🏼

A huge thank you to both business for having us! It’s safe to say some will be back and others might take a bit longer to warm up 🤣

It’s been a great year for FIANNIX, so just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their support!

A lot of beginner runners ask how to add intensity to their runs without overdoing it 🏃‍♂️

Here’s a very simple example of how to start 🫵

Short, fast intervals with 1:2 or even 1:3 work:rest depending on your level of fitness.

Don’t neglect running form in these.

Include a 1k warm up and 1k cool down

~40 minute session with warm up + cool down

5 lessons from doing my first marathon back in 2019 🤛

Training was planned week to week so it left a lot of room for change. Sometimes I would decide while I was on the run already how far I was going to do on that session. Letting your mood on a cold wet friday evening dictate how far and how fast you run is not an ideal approach 😬

I didn’t know how to properly allocate easier runs and harder training, so i mostly ran hard sessions and my body broke down 🦵

I left looking at nutrition and hydration way too late which led to fairly bad gut issues and cramping calves during the race 💩 🍲

I didn’t really incorporate strength training or do any sort of structured warm up to mentally prepare for the session ahead 🏋️‍♀️

I didn’t have anyone hold me accountable and at that point, I wasn’t very good at holding myself to account either 👨 👩

Get comfortable with running and building endurance before you go looking too much into the data.

There's an obsession with running cadence, HR zones and the right training split before we ever focus on the basics.

Pay more attention to your body while you run than what your watch is telling you and you'll get way more feedback than any device 🏄

You shouldn’t just accept having a tight hip or dodgy knee while you play sport 🏃‍♂️🏊‍♂️

Use your off season to address the injury while continuing to strength train and 2026 can look a whole lot different for you 👑

There’s still a bit of confusion around lifting heavy weights and running long distances 👀

You can be strong and robust in the gym while still being a strong runner too 🏃‍♂️

It won’t slow down, it’ll do the opposite.

Your muscles, tendons and joints will be much more prepared for longer runs or interval sessions 🤛

You are less likely to get injuries or the annoying niggles along the way 🎉

You’ll cross the line feeling strong. It’s not about just getting over the line in one piece, it’s about being able to run the race you planned on running 🤩

Just over 5 months out before we cross the Moroccan Sahara desert and the work ploughs on 💪

Nursing a small bit of a calf strain from the weekends long run so started the session with some calf work to get it right.

This was followed by the assault bike, sled crawls, chest supported rows, incline bench and decline sit ups.

Then off to the beach for a sauna (will prove very important in training) and a sea swim 🏊‍♂️

Caught this fella crawling across my hand on Saturday 👹

Only a small number of ticks are infected with the bacteria that cause Lyme disease but there’s no harm doing a good check of the body after a hike or day in woodlands / parks 🙌

Handy to have a tick remover if you are out quite a bit, they are cheap and can be bought in any outdoors shop 🙏

Day 56 of MDS training 😎

Weighted hike / rucking to get used to carrying plenty load while we run.

Some of the major challenges of the @mdslegendary are obviously the heat, terrain and having to carry all your gear for the duration of the race.

Step 1 - ALWAYS be organised.

Packed my bag to the brim, even added a couple of dumbbells. Went out for the hike! Forgot the hiking boots at home 🙃

Strength training is for absolutely everyone, regardless of age 👨 👩 👦 👧

At no point in your life is getting stronger out of reach or a bad idea 🏋️‍♀️

Beyond body composition and fat loss, strength training is hugely beneficial for the aging process. Whether we like it or not, it happens pretty quickly 🥹

It slows down the speed at which we lose muscle mass which generally starts in our 30’s 💪

It slows down the process of reduction in bone density 🦴

It reduces our risk of falls and breaks as we age 🔥

I’ll be 32 in a couple weeks and I’m starting to view strength training with a more long term view 😂

FREE THE HIPS 😩

Here’s 3 exercises you can do with the cable machine to help strengthen and mobilise the muscles in and around your hips 🔥

- Extension into flexion ( your hip flexor will thank you)
- Adduction - to target the inner thigh (simply termed groin muscles)
- Abduction - to target the outer thigh + hip (glute med, min, TFL)

These are a great addition to a warm up prior to a lower body session 🏋️‍♀️

Need any tips on getting mobile, DM “Mobility” and I’d love to help you out 😎

These are a great addition to a warm up prior to a lower body session 🏋️‍♀️

Need any tips on getting mobile, DM “Mobility” and I’d love to help you out 😎

A smart watch or whoop are an excellent tool, there’s no denying that 🏆

I do think we place way too much trust in what they tell us and how they dictate our training 👊

Data has completely changed how athletes / teams / sporting organisations operate but the more we rely on it, the less we are likely to analyse our own recovery or how you generally feel post session / game / run 🏃‍♂️

Once a week I do an easy run, I leave the phone and watch at home and just switch off for 45 minutes to an hour and it’s bliss. Just once a week, give it a go 🙏

Aidan has been training with me for 12 weeks now 💪

An absolute joy to work with, follows a plan to a T and really loves getting stuck in with training 👌

We worked on a number of specific things over the past few months;

- Tightness in his right trap
- Stiffness in his hips
- Pain in his wrists when doing underhand chin ups

We worked on incorporating lots of mobility into his session followed a block of strength work which helped free up his body a lot more 🏆

Mobility is great for everyone but in order to become more mobile you need to build strength in that newly acquired range 🦵

If you are looking for help with your mobility, DM me Mobile and I’d love to chat more about how I can help get you moving better 😎

Hip tightness is extremely common 🦵

After a game, after a run or just being on your feet a lot can lead to hip tightness (on one side or sometimes both)

Here are four exercises you can do to loosen up those hips and get you moving better 🏋️‍♀️

Curtsy lunge’s x 15 reps each side
Hip Abduction x 10 reps each side
Kickstand Hinge x 8-12 reps each side
Hip hikes x 1 set x 10 each side

x 1-2 rounds and see how you feel 🙌

5 people who have never climbed Carrauntuohill made it up and down on Saturday 🔥

“ It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be” 🙏

A big lesson for anyone wanting to try something new or push your boundaries.

The hardest thing you have done is the hardest thing you have done.

If you keep pushing your limits, even just a little bit there are plenty adventures / opportunities to be had 👊

I forgot half the tent so we had to sleep in the car too. That’s really pushing the limits 🥳

** 10 Strict Pull ups ** 🔥

Big goals take a lot of time and consistency but when you see the rewards of all your hard work coming together, there is no better feeling 😊

We mentioned when we started introducing pull ups / deadhangs, the goal was 10 by Christmas. Although, we didn’t say what Christmas 😉

Last week @markoregan1 achieved 10 strict neutral grip pull ups, which is an unbelievable feat 👊

Hard work beats all 💪

Instant feedback 💪 @ainey_maximus

One of the main limitations clients find with online coaching is not knowing whether they are doing an exercise with good form 🏋️‍♀️

Making a video of the first 3-5 reps and sending it your to coach can take the guess work out of strength training 🙏

Here’s a great example of how a few adjustments can completely change an exercise from sets 1 to 3 👊

Off Feet Conditioning 🚲 🏊‍♂️ 🚣‍♀️

You can still improve endurance or your overall fitness without needing to add in another run 🏃‍♂️

If the legs are feeling that bit heavier coming into a race / championship game, instead of adding in more running volume, try an off feet conditioning season 🙌

For field sport athletes - you can still mimic the stop start nature of your sport by doing 15-30 second hard intervals followed by 15-45 seconds rest.

Runners -
Try an interval session to get zone 4/5 work in.
Tempo style - maintaining a certain wattage for 10-20 minutes
Zone 2 sessions - 20 minutes +

Try adding it into your training and see if it helps 👏

Hitting the trails around the Galty’s 🏃‍♂️

When the body feels good there is no better feeling 🌅

When you’re feeling that bit sluggish, it can be tough going 😂

Hard to beat running down a hill full speed ahead 🙌
