Variety is key for the ex-England captain along with circuit training, protein shakes and head-clearing cold plunges

I don't really need an alarm anymore - I have two young children.
Generally I get up between six and seven, depending on the day. My wife and I take turns to get up with the kids. So one day you might have a little lie-in, and the other day you're up early.
There's a lot of getting kids ready, getting their breakfast sorted, making sure they are prepped for the day. My own day varies massively, from coaching at school to working in wine investment. Such a variety - and pitch-side stuff at the weekend, which again is great. It keeps life exciting.
For breakfast, it's Greek yoghurt, some berries, some banana, a bit of honey. When I was playing rugby, it was very much scrambled egg every day. But now, with children around and trying to balance things, make their porridge or whatever they're going have that day, that tends to be my go-to.
