My tips for #academics starting their PhD: Don’t rely on your advisor to push things forward. Set your schedule early and lay out all completion dates. Read lots. Teach what you learn as much as possible & most importantly don’t forget to take time away #PhDchat@AcademicChatter

When we opened our training centre in March 2023, we did it with the belief that “we can likely pay the bills” and that’s about it.
Fast forward 1.5 years and we’re busting at the seams trying to keep up with demand. Not a BAD problem, just one we weren’t prepared for.
Founders often ask: What if this doesn’t work?
And rightfully so. Most businesses fail, and having a plan is wise.
But there’s another crucial question: What if this DOES work?
Preparing for success is just as important.
With growth comes its own set of challenges:
Shareholder disputes, scaling supply chains, rapid hiring, managing distribution, legal attacks, and more.
Failure hurts. But failing because you weren’t ready for success?
That’s a missed opportunity that will haunt you.
One of the simplest ways to estimate your VO2max with running:
1. Find a track
2. Warm up
3. Run as far as you can in 12 mins
4. Input distance here:
Estimated VO2max = (35.97 x miles) - 11.29

Do your workouts feel repetitive and boring? GOOD! Keep doing them. Gradually getting stronger on the same core movements over time IS proper strength training 💪📈🔥
It’s been 3.5 years since I tore my meniscus and I’m finally back to squatting more than my weight at 185lbs today. 2.5 years ago I had surgery and it’s been a grueling road to being able to even walk normally. I can now run 🏃♂️ and sprint short distances. I train 5x a week and do not miss! Injuries can be depressing.. life brings many challenges.. but you gotta dig deep and activate the animal within 🐺 go get what you want out of life 🎯
