"Malcolm and Donalbain, the King`s two sons,
Are stol`n away and fled, which puts upon them
Suspicion of the deed."

Very excited to be sharing the stage with my on stage younger brother Alexander Rees as Prince Donalbain in the upcoming @krakentheatregroup production of MACBETH by William Shakespeare.
Both Malcolm and Donalbain are based on real historical Kings of Scotland who navigate war, plots and schemes in an age of brutal violence.
Less than two weeks to go!

HYROX CARDIFF 2026!
.
.
.
Epic weekend doing my first Hyrox Open Men’s Doubles with Sam @rings001 ! Thank you for carrying me through the running segments and helping me improve my total run time by almost 5 minutes(!) and for scream singing Pink Pantheress, Taylor Swift and Britney in my ear during runs 6 and 7.
We had phenomenal support from the fantastic Emily (many thanks for the many photos and videos), my brilliant coach @oliecanlett and the amazing @_factr community who were also competing and kept me going during those tough moments!
Onto the next challenge!

Legs have just about recovered...

Still buzzing after last week but it took several days before the legs could cope with stairs or walking in general.
Ready to start training for the next one @oliecanlett !!

My first ever men’s solo Hyrox is done!!!!
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could ever do this. I was the child who was rubbish at PE at school and it took a very long time for me to expel my exercise demons.
Luckily I had fantastic coaching from @oliecanlett and my time at @_factr showed me what I was capable of doing with positivity, and encouragement.
Thank you @petersedavies for coming and being my cheering crew / videographer!!
Hopefully this will be the first of many!
Right now I need fluid and salt…
