We present the results of long term simulations of magnetised, isolated, neutron stars in the Cowling approximation, performed with the Athena++ code, lasting 490ms. By evolving neutron stars with initially poloidal and toroidal magnetic fields we investigate the long term development of the relative strengths of these components, as well as the onset of turbulent behaviour driven by an initial instability. We further investigate how the scaling of the energy spectrum evolves through the course of the simulation.
