Bryony Firth-Bernard, Active Writer
Our resident fitness junkie, Bryony, is always on the lookout for new challenges. When she isn’t in the gym doing farmer’s carries or other exercises, you’ll find her crushing her opponents atHyrox competitions. Although she likes to set smaller goals to avoid disappointment – ‘big’ fitness resolutions can feel intimidating in her experience – Bryony’s got big plans for 2024!
“Now that I’m back to weightlifting, I’m keen to get my squat and deadlift back to 100kg, and I’d love it if I could military press 50kg above my head,” she explains, “Having completed my first HYROX this year, I’m also keen to keep running every other week, as I may do another in 2024. Plus, I’m on a mission to prove you can run and be strong! A Tough Mudder would also be cool, as would hitting 7,000 steps daily and doing mobility religiously twice a week. So, you know, just a few goals!”

“My fitness resolution for 2024 is to continue running as much as I can,” she says, “I love running, but had to take a small break in late 2023 after getting bad shin splints in my leg. I realised very quickly that running is my favourite form of exercise, and it makes me feel better both physically and mentally, so I’m prioritising it again this year.”

Andrew Sansom, Tech Writer
Andy is T3’s resident streaming expert. He watched every movie and series on every streaming service, which requires a lot of time, as you might expect. But he isn’t the kind of guy who will sit around idly when the movie’s ended. In fact, he’s after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gains in 2024!
“I’m a regular gym goer, but also very much a casual one,” Andy admits, “I mainly do cardio to burn off excess energy, and for my sanity, I don’t want to look like Arnie, but It would be cool to start doing some more targeted exercises and perhaps one day have abs!”

Matt Kollat, Active Editor
I’ve done quite a lot of running in the past 18 months (ran the London Marathon twice and also completed the Mongol 100 on foot), but I’m planning on doing even more of the good stuff in 2024. My plan is to run 1,000 miles over the next 12 months, which might sound a lot, but if you break it down, it’s around 20 miles a week – not at all undoable.
I got really into strength training during the pandemic, but stopped pumping iron when I moved house last year due to the lack of space at home for my home gym. Now that I made some space in th garage for the bench, rack and weights, I can’t wait to pack on some of that muscle back on I shed since I stopped working out!
Mat Gallagher, Editor-in-Chief
Mat’s a massive fan of iFit workouts; he’s basically inseparable from his trusty NordicTrack treadmill. After many years of pounding the running belt, he says he’s ready to transition into the weirdly-wonderful world of mass-participation races next year. Next stop, London Marathon 2024?
“I try and run at least four times a week on my treadmill but still haven’t made the move to competitive races,” he confesses, “In 2024, I aim to up my distances and work in more outdoor sessions to run a 10K or a half marathon later in the year. I’m not setting myself any time goals just yet, but I know I’m competitive once in a crowd, so I know it will push me to beat my normal pace.”

Mike Lowe, Tech Editor
Mike is a big traveller, both physically and virtually. You’ll either find him on a plane headed to Asia or on his bike devouring the miles in Watopia, Zwift’s digital world for cyclists. As well as improving his pedalling power in 2024, Mike also wants to focus on improving his upper body.
“My fitness goals for 2024 are twofold,” he begins, “Firstly, having put on lots of unwanted excess in 2023, I need to up my cycling game again with more time in the saddle to get my FTP (functional threshold power) back up above 300W – somethingindoor trainersare especially good at assisting with.”
Once he made himself comfortable on the saddle, Mike will move on to phase two: “With the winter months exacerbating joint pain in my once-operated-on shoulder, I’m looking to explore upper body workouts to gain strength and improve positioning.” Lucky for him, we have tons of upper-body workout content on T3!
Marc Chacksfield, Content Director (ShortList / T3)
As well as getting fitter physically, Marc is on a mission to integrate fitness into his lifestyle more. “For the first time in a long time, fitness doesn’t feel like a fad for me but is now a big part of my daily routine,” he says, “I want this to continue into 2024. So, the New Year for me is all about maintaining the weight I currently am, escaping the gym and doing more exercise outdoors.”
