Chiropractic care
Getting support and help
I realized that no matter how much training you do,
our bodies are limited by what our minds tells us
from the signals from the brain communicating
through the nervous system. A fellow endurance
athlete recommended chiropractic care and
adjustments to help maintain the body in its
natural perfect state. Chiropractic is all about
allowing the mind to maintain a healthy flow of
signals from your brain to every part of your body
via your nerves, thus allowing the body to self-heal
and self-regulate. I have regular adjustments from
chiropractor Jason O’Connor. This was a game
changer for the Ultra6 team and improved our
athletic performance and endurance. I heard that
Bradley Wiggins has regular chiropractic care and
many other sports people turning to chiropractic.
What a difference having a great posture makes.
Meeting or reading about people doing great things
helps provide inspiration for your own ideas. Go
See… Go Meet… Go Find… I have noticed with
successful people whether in business or sport, like
to share their success and will answer your
questions. I recall wondering about learning to
kayak to paddle across the English Channel. I called
five different companies before I eventually got
through to Richard Harpham @Canoetrails who was
at the time cycling and kayaking London to
Marrakech. He took the time to stop and chat for 20
minutes giving me the confidence to learn kayaking
for the first time. We have since become great
fr iends which provided the link to BAM. It is
empowering to learn new skills, swap ideas and join
communities, so why not try taking that first step?
Physio and massage
Why not give yourself a healthy holiday instead of
just chilling on a beach and over indulging? We go to
Spain to train in the mountains or on the coast to get
some winter sun, and eat healthy food.
So who do you go to if and when you pick up an
injury? Often we have a tendency to leave things
until they get worse. I have found that maintaining
a regular deep sports massage is a good way to
maintain good muscle health and prevent future
bigger issues occurring. During our training we have
support from a team Physio, Ian Harris which is
really helpful when any injuries or twinges occur.

Making a difference and giving back
The most rewarding part of our challenges and
records has been supporting ABF The Soldiers Charity
and other worthwhile causes. This helps drives us
forward to the next adventure and keeps us grounded
for those less fortunate than ourselves.
