As someone who’s spent the past 15+ years pushing my body to the edge in some of the world’s toughest conditions, I’ve always relied on one thing above all else: data. The right information, captured at the right time, allows me to train smarter, recover better, and perform when it matters. That’s why I’m genuinely excited about the launch of WHOOP 5.0. This new wearable isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a complete rethink of how we understand and act on our health, performance, and longevity.

As an athlete: With a demanding training schedule and the constant need to balance performance with recovery, features like WHOOP’s Pace of Aging and improved sleep tracking give me clarity I can use to my advantage. I monitor how my body is responding not just to yesterday’s training session, but to the cumulative impact of travel, racing, nutrition, and stress. That kind of precision used to be reserved for the lab, now it’s on my wrist 24/7

As a Husband and a Dad: With a young family, recovery isn’t just about race day, it’s about showing up every morning for Holly and Leo (wife and son) with energy and presence. Early mornings, daycare drop-offs, and playtime are just as demanding (believe it or not). Knowing how stress, sleep, or physical load is affecting my long-term health gives me the power to make smarter choices at home as well as in training. WHOOP’s new Health-span insights help me live not just longer, but better, and that’s everything when you’re juggling performance with parenting.

As a Co-Founder of UAre: That same ethos drives what we’re building UAre. As a co-founder, I’ve seen how access to high-quality well-being data can transform not just athletes, but entire organisations. UAre is designed to help businesses measure, track, and enhance well-being across movement, mindset, relationships and habits, creating high-performing, sustainable teams. By anonymously aggregating this kind of data, it enables us to better personalise support and track genuine return on investment in human capital. Whether it’s reducing burnout, improving productivity, or keeping teams connected and performing at their best, data like this helps close the loop between action and outcome.

Staying In The Game: The beauty of new releases like WHOOP 5.0 (and other wearables) is that they don’t leave us scrambling to keep up, in fact, we’re cheering every time an update drops. UAre is device-agnostic, which means we can pull in rich, real-time datasets from leading wearables like WHOOP, simplify it, and turn that data into meaningful action. Instead of falling behind in the fast-moving world of health tech, we’re staying ahead, and helping our clients do the same. When you combine advanced wearable insights with our platform’s ability to deliver targeted, scalable insights and interventions, you get something powerful: data driven decisions, equalling measurable change.

The future of high performance isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about making better decisions, driven by better data. Let’s raise the standard, for ourselves, our teams, and the next generation.
