Two out of a few challenges that I gave a go with @kevininmotion @flynndisney @chrismovement and @kiefer_pk in a lovely training session we had a few days ago.
Working on trying to normalize what my step zero is(the things that I am able to do with little to no preparation).@ktorchia1 and @yao_gog made me aware some time ago that I second guess myself alot +anticipate both what my limits are + what I'm able to do experience wise.I then end up taking alot more time than necessary in prepping for something I have done before, not feeling confident in my own judgements.
These last few weeks, I feel that I'm becoming. more able to relax into my step zero and am enjoying the experience of doing larger movement so comfortably from the beginning of my training sessions.
Thanks for a really fun session in the sun guys . Thanks kiefer for filming x

We got the opportunity to visit both a gymnasium and a parkour gymn a little further out.
Eventhough it was lots of fun and provided different opportunities for training, I did miss the outside a bit.
Seeing how others trained at the venue, I did also feel that flips and tricks were the main focus .And that other elements that give parkour it's identity, such as flow and movement using obstacles, other than simply flipping off of them, were somewhat missing.
I'm really enjoying the process of learning different flips and also seeing them being included more into parkour movement as a whole. but I do also feel that the identity of parkour movement is getting somewhat misplaced in the attempts being made to execute the toughest tricks out there.Adaptation has always been a key element of our movement, But I also think that it is important for our identity that flips still get integrated into the other movement rather than being isolated and trained separately.
Nonetheless, it's always a meaningful experience to be exposed to different styles of training with different people.

Clips from @breachgram 's #breachtour!
I went to visit @fluidityfreerun again, this time for the jam and workshops being hosted by Breach there.
I luckily caught a ride up there with @jamiedesmet, snacking on @eattrek bars for most of the journey .
And when we arrived, the full energy of the jam had already kicked in.
It's always nice to see familiar faces after so long.But it can also be quite daunting moving around so many experienced practioners- both in terms of space and in terms of expectations.
Nonetheless, I had an awesome time there.I did my biggest dive front yet(not including diving into a foam pit ) , and took up my space to get a few routes down.
Focussing on being aware and reminding myself of what I am currently working on, and being ok with not being able to do everything I saw.
Thanks breach for workshop I attended.
Thanks @stevie.forster for filming the route.
Thanks Jamie for the frontflip challenge
P.s thanks @abdullah.phat

It being my first time in Sweden, I didnt exactly know what to expect.Being in a new environment with a new community, I always enter feeling tense and anxious.But within my first day I not only met and trained around lots of awesome people, I also entered my first ever speed competition and came 4th place out of 8 guys.
It was a memorable experience not only for being a first, but also because of my relationship with competition;
I am competitive but I haven't yet learnt to manage this trait with confidence yet.I usually compare myself alot to others, without taking into account difference in circumstances, experience etc.And therefore I become overly critical and place unrealistic expectations on myself.
This along with perfectionism leads to a lot of self sabotage.
But it's been something that I have been working and reflecting on in my training with my team @espritconcrete.
So it was both a good training experience and lots of fun.

Get anxious, do the flip, fall, get back up, complain, get anxious, do the flip, fall.... this was the sort of session I had with @yao_gog a few weeks ago.
What started out as training fronts off of the different obstacles in the park became my first tries at a swing-loser outside.
Eventhough I have done them in gym, my confidence to get them 'right' outdoors quickly flew out of the window when I bailed hard on my very first one.
From then on, until the end of the session, it was a constant confrontation with the uncomfortableness of accepting that the flip could and did end in a fall , and that I felt I was always slipping and therefore slightly out of control.
Through it all, Yao made sure that I kept getting back on the bar and trying.Regardless of my complaints, he reminded me of what it was that I needed to work on and only by getting back on the bar I was working on these things.
I disliked every minute of the discomfort, but I felt like I had really trained within that session. Thank you Mentor for another agitating and very helpful session

Running into June like a giant blurry Tissy disco ball thanks to my new leggings from @rubyfuryactivewear. Aren't they awesome?! I can't believe I've managed to do 50 miles this month but I'm going to put it out there for June, 75!

Drizzly 330m intervals. Why 330m? Because that’s the length of the loop we use in Finsbury Park. Last night’s run group did the same session and all worked really hard. So no excuse for their coach not to do the same.
In truth, I didn’t want to go. But my partner was working from home which meant I could get out to run during nap time. So off I went.
So yeah, my shorts are shorter than I realised and my quads are back I nearly didn’t use this pic but who really cares. Sometimes the sun doesn’t have to be out for your buns to be out.
