The Black Death Run

Recently I entered the www.theblackdeathrun.com a cruelling 10.5 mile cross country run. Its organised by a good friend and a client at work. The first 2 miles you climb up over 1000ft over some mentally rough terrain. 

This was entered in a sere moment of stupidity as I haven't run for over 2 years and I wanted to give my self a physical challenge prior to the 3 peaks in July to keep my fitness up. 

So today I attempted what was a short 5k run and surprised myself when it was a 10k and I still had the energy to keep going. 

Total route Length - 10.29k

Total time - 56.28 

 

Happy fit new year.

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and  a glorious new year.
Know is the time that everyone wants to "start fresh" my own personal fitness goals this year are to improve my functional strength and get more involved in road cycling. I have also signed up for the 3 peaks challenge http://www.thethreepeakschallenge.co.uk/
There are also some exciting challenges in store for the first few months of the year.

the new age of free weights - ViPR

ViPR training, is something that is readily becoming more popular in gyms via the free weights areas and classes.
I recently undertook a training course in to how these work and how best to them in a class and for P.T.

The concept behind ViPR is simple its a multi-functional whole body training. It basically is a hollow rubber tube with 3 handles. The courses itself went into detail on how best to use the ViPR and how easy it is to progress and regress the free flowing movements.

After doing this training I am going to in corporate the ViPR training style into my own Strength and conditioning work out.

Look out for Videos and Pictures that will swiftly follow.
