Happy with today’s #TSC as I felt like I still had some beans, so added an additional 10 (x25m) lengths to my usual 100! This is the furthest I’ve swam and yet I still managed to maintain a consistent and solid pace with my breaststroke.

And now for something different for #TSC, a new pool: the 50m London Fields Lido. I haven’t swam in a pool this length and whilst I sure noticed the difference, I actually think I preferred it (able to get into a better rhythm).

Big thanks to @donxle.bsky.social , @richardwingfield.bsky.social, Fabio and @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social for helping me deliver @southwarklibdems.bsky.social surveys in Rotherhithe this evening.
Really important residents let us know their thoughts on living in this wonderful part of London.

This year’s Connect Conference 2025 for Eurostar was just incredible. We brought together hundreds of talented People Managers in Paris to help them connect the dots.

Took myself out for a little jog along the Thames last night and drowned out the world. Ended up going like the clappers (fogging up my glasses as I cooled down). A slight improvement to pace too: routine and consistency are key to making incremental improvements.

Back on it with #TSC this evening, hitting 2.5km again matching pace from three weeks ago (last time I swam before holiday). I think I need to restart work on my freestyle and want to try and add in a second swim each week to increase levels of cardio too.

Running from work to the pool, to political meetings today, but worth it for #TSC (Tuesday Swim Club). I maintained the distance and kept a similar (albeit slightly slower) pace – mostly I suspect because I ran yesterday too!
