Just to be clear if you cheat and/or break the rules then you should be DQ’d and I don’t support cheating in any way whatsoever. I’ve personally seen people wear swim gloves; we’ve all seen people drafting; and probably we’ve all seen people cut corners when running. I’m sure someone will invent an aero rear-viewing…
https://media3.giphy.com/media/iNnpbtkq5W5Og/200_s.gif Eesh. there’s a lot of rubbish out there about muscle building. I’m assuming you are not vegetarian. Good. That makes it MUCH easier to get all the amino acids you need in your protein. Good food training and sleep will get you way over 90% of the muscle. To help with the other 10%:…
OSMO Acute Recovery vs High5 Protein Recovery I’ve been using whey protein isolate for a few years; mostly ‘on’ rather than ‘off’. Almost always trying to have some after a particularly hard session or after weights. In general I would say this (whey protein isolate) is a great recovery tactic and, for me at least,…
I like this infographic. Not sure on how correct it is though. Any thoughts? Here are mine (If I say true it means I agree with their ‘FACT’): True Hmmm. HRMs are pretty accurate to within, say, +/-5bpm. The ‘Fact’ quoted is pretty flawed. True Gross generalisation and false if taken literally. Though broadly true…

Yep today’s Friday and so that must be a rest day right? Tomorrow is parkrun day after all. Well not for me, I’m desperately trying to get back some of the fitness I’ve lost over the last month by not being able to run. With a race in 9 days I should of course be…

Tonight was a bit of a breakthrough for poor old me. I managed 5:20/km…slow by most people’s standards but to be honest after hardly being able to make it to the end of the street for the last 2 weeks i was delighted. My cunning plan was to get really warmed up on the bike…
You’ve run a parkrun and your legs hurt. Naturally you want sympathy. But the response you will get will range from “Didums” to “Oh my gosh are you OK? Shin splints can be really serious, you should stop running for a while and go and see the doctor.” I don’t want to trivialise a bit…
