Is 33 too early for a mid-life crisis? Maybe. Indulging one of my ‘other’ passions... another inking with the man @stefano.c.fst this afternoon. Thanks buddy, as always 🦅🐍🙏 . #tattoo #eagletattoo #battletattoo #snaketattoo #traditionaltattoo #tattoos #bodymodification #tattoosleeve #tattoolife #tattoosofinstagram #frithstreettattoo #newprofilepic
No riding at the moment meant either a day of torturing myself looking out at the stunning weather or doing something different. So I went stomping around one of my favourite areas for riding bikes instead. It killed a few hours and felt good for the soul. But best of all I got to have a sweaty sarnie. They always taste better when they’re about 25degrees C and sorta oozy. Also was good to see the reaction of middle-aged hikers eyeing the gangly tattoo guy rambling around the woods on his own like a psycho.☠️🧐 . #mountainmutton . #chilterns #thechilterns #hikingadventures #outsideisfree #cycling #cyclinglife #edrecovery #trainbrave #mentalhealthawareness #eatingdisorderawareness #relativeenergydeficiencyinsport #orthorexia #foodisfuel
Look forward, breathe in, hope for the best. I’m not too sure what the next few months will hold for me... may be very shitty, may not be so bad. Either way, time to rebuild my messed up head and broken system, and time to try to remember other things in life. Thanks everyone that has shown support or reached out lately. You know who you are. . #mountainmutton . #deadlift #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #selfbelief #motivation #edrecovery #trainbrave #mentalhealthawareness #eatingdisorderawareness #foodisfuel @train_brave
The first and the best 💉 Had my nose re-pierced today (excuse the fresh ooze). I got my nose pierced back when I was 19, and it was the first body mod I ever got done. 14 years later, am back at it. After getting news recently which has put a huge question over my training going forward I went to that London and got piercings, bought trainers, and ate junk food. Basically, doing what I did when I was a teenager. Expensive but took my mind off things. And body mods are always good. . #mountainmutton . #trainbrave #piercing #nosepiercing #bodymodification #piercingofinstagram #instapiercing #fromwhereiride #wymtm #eatingdisorderrecovery #red-s #mentalhealthawareness @train_brave
Want to know what WorldTour rider Harry Tanfield gets up to when not eating rich tea biscuits? I wondered the same, and so went to Spain to get you the answers. Check out my latest piece for Cycling Weekly, ‘A day in the life’, in shops now. Was mega to work on this, thank you Harry for all the help 🙏 . #mountainmutton . #cycling #cyclinglife #trainingcamp #instacycling #training #lovecycling #bikestagram #roadcycling #strava #fromwhereiride #wymtm #roadlikethese #outsideisfree #cyclist #insearchofup #lifebehindbars #baaw #cyclingweekly #freelance #journalist #blogger @katushacycling @katushasports @danbiggles @cyclingweeklymagazine
POST-TRAINING MANOEUVRES Need to get stuck into a bit of this after both gym and turbo trainer today.
