Well done Ron!

I can now retire! All the London Classics completed. Although the Swim Serpentine and Ride London were hard, todays London Marathon was definitely the toughest!

You still have time to enter this great #London #triathlon on a closed road circuit within Crystal Palace Park.

Congrats on passing your test and on getting the car. Changing a car wheel will take a while longer than a quick release bike wheel, eh?!

[Alex yee @Lixsanyee]

Thank you Peugeot! This will help elevate my training options whilst still helping me playing a small part towards a sustainable future.

I've just finished the excellent #lostconnections book by @johannhari101 It was good to hear the great work of the @Bromley_by_Bow Centre being highlighted, where I worked as a Psychologist. Being disconnected from people or meaningful activities increases our risk of MH problems

Keep active. It is never too late to set a goal and go for a PB. https://t.co/0ofThh5qUu

[Dr Victor Thompson, Psychologist @DrVictorThompso]

Moving more and exercising is beneficial for pretty much everyone at every stage of life.

A new consensus statement from health experts has determined that the benefits of physical activity outweighs the risks for people with long-term health conditions. Read more.

2/2 Cross check if the person you are considering seeing have met the UK standards.
Are they an accredited Psychologist? Check https://t.co/YPXaWsZSlv
Have they met the standards for providing CBT? https://t.co/MGIBzPdi78

1/2 A disturbing article on the BBC about people in need of help, finding and being exploited by unqualified mental health therapists. https://t.co/WAmNVef9gf

[Dr Victor Thompson, Psychologist @DrVictorThompso]

It is with sadness that we wake up today to the news that #DrAaronTBeck has passed away. Arguably the founder of #CBT who's work has helped Millions in the UK alone. #RIP https://t.co/Fgsi2whQwj

3/3 These can be overcome, with good education about what is going on, #sportspsychology #intervention, plus modifications to training. I wish @SimonBiles a speedy return to her best. @Tokyo2020 #Twisties #movementblocks

[Dr Victor Thompson, Psychologist @DrVictorThompso]

2/3 With movements becoming automatic, it becomes almost impossible to hold a clear image of the movements, which combines with fear of the consequences (error, pain, embarrassment...) to make committing to the move VERY difficult. #SimonBiles @Tokyo2020 #Twisties #movementblocks

[Dr Victor Thompson, Psychologist @DrVictorThompso]

1/3 #Twisties in gymnastics and #movementblocks in diving are close relations - when the athlete loses confidence in their twisting, rotations and the subsequent landing (#gymnastics) or water entry (#diving). It seems that this is the situation for #SimonBiles @Tokyo2020

[Dr Victor Thompson, Psychologist @DrVictorThompso]

Competition takes courage to test yourself, to compete against others, to measure yourself publicly. There is no greater stage than the #Olympics, or greater pressure. We need to look after the physical and psychological wellbeing of athletes #SimoneBiles #NaomiOsaka

[Alex yee @Lixsanyee]

Dare to dream!
