Ninja Warrior Season 6💥 Saturday 10th 6pm on ITV I cannot wait to share more of the experience after the episode on Saturday airs - it was so much fun to be there with so many kind, supportive and inspiring people - so I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did filming!!! 🤭 (just know I won’t be enjoying watching back some of my interviews...) Here’s a little bit of my training before the competition :) Ramble below - moral of the story is learn trust your body - and if that’s as much as you fancy reading feel free to keep scrolling ☺️ Long story short (shorter anyway..), after a month or so of falling asleep randomly on the sofa, car, anywhere I could, I had blood results back telling me I’d had glandular fever a few months prior - explained a lot 😂 a common virus but I found training for competition, whilst being aware my body wasn’t right, physically and mentally tough As a result, most of my training was just trying to maintain grip strength, maintain my lactic threshold and speed, and learn some skills I’d need for Ninja Aside from that, I was asleep most afternoons, trying to stop my tonsils swelling up so I didn’t get too out of breath while running, and gargling a lot of salt water 😍😍😍 I was nervous going in - I knew I wouldn’t be in peak fitness, I knew competition and travel was a lot to deal with mentally, and the week before I nearly pulled out (spoiler, I didn’t - just slept a lot during filming😂) However, lots of the movements in Ninja are things @bumpy_hales and I would do as kids - climbing trees, racing in playgrounds, running over logs - so going into the races I had to trust my body to do what it could and I’d just be a passenger (well, a slightly stressed passenger...) We can tell our bodies what to do, how to train, what to eat, when to sleep.. and I feel like communication can become a bit of a one way street when it comes to listening to our bodies. So this is something I’ll be working on going forward (as quite often I just ignore it😅) and NW definitely gave me a chance to begin to listen 💚 RAMBLE DONE, ENJOY THE EPISODE!!!! ONLY 48HRS!!!😍😍😍😍 @ninjawarrioruk 💥 #ninjawarrior #ninjawarrioruk #ninjasportuk
