In 2006 I made the 800m final at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Moscow. A year later I quit the sport for rock and roll. I was only 24 years old. I lost my way and put on weight over a 12 year period of boozing and rocking. In 2019 I decided something had to change, so I started running again. 5 stone later I ran a 34 minute 10km and I feel better than ever. Here is my story via the Megabus to the Ritz - your weekly night time commute to a better version of yourself.

Croissants and Existentialism

Episode 2 of Season 2 of Megabus to the Ritz. I talk about my injury, why existentialism is good for recovery and why Strava is a forest that needs to be burned down sometimes.

In this episode I also talk about the health benefits of following Ceri Lloyd and her Saib Studio New Year Challenge. I discuss the books I've been reading recently, which are: Transcendence by Gaia Vince, Small by Natalie Ann Holborow and The Last Polar Bear on Earth by Rhian Elizabeth. My metal albums of the week are Eons by Neptunian Maximalism and Alphaville by Imperial Triumphant. Go seek these fine works of art for a richer existence.
