That's right - 67% of men & 60% of women in England carry excess weight.
And because of this #JunkFood sugary soft drinks shouldn't be allowed to sponsor any type of sport.
We need an equitable, ethical framework for sports sponsorship.

Leaving politics aside, a man who was supposed to be a deep thinker with a huge intellect, yet thinks it’s OK to drive 25miles to see if his eyesight is good enough to drive 200miles has left the heart of the UK Government. Well, that’s a huge relief to anybody who rides a bike.

This week Ian Stannard announced his retirement from pro cycling. Any major life change has psychological implications; leaving the pro peloton for ‘normal life’ brings particular struggles. My latest blog considers how to prepare for life after cycling.

Children, young people and vulnerable adults who have experiences of trauma may respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying lockdown in distinct ways.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about #ACEs and how sport can respond and adapt to the needs of participants.

Is it possible to trick your brain into extending your personal limits of endurance? Renowned exercise psychologist, Dr Samuele Marcora, certainly thinks so. Have a read, give the techniques a try and see what you think.

Important for elite cyclists to be able to ask for non-judgmental help for eating problems. Consequences of not doing so can be devastating.
