About half a pint of water (yes, I'm probably not keeping myself well enough hydrated); and a chocolate-coated flapjack.

Thorp Perrow is a very nice parkrun just off the A1 by Bedales in N Yorkshire. I did it for the first time today and was impressed. Very little...

But how many pint's?

A ride to the south-east today, via Swithland and through the middle of Leicester, then out to the east of the city. Up a 1-in-7 hill that I had...

Really well done. I'm psyching my self up to have a bash at them! Just back from a long horsey day at the Northumberland County Show, helping with...

Well done. That chap in the video is pretty fit - his pull-ups are very impressive. Re the Spanish press-ups - it looks like the down position...

Yeap! Much, much harder! Well done. I'm planning to try your weighted pull-ups soon, now that I can churn out 5 plus. Re ypur press up, the hands...

8 x 3 minute treadmill hill reps. Had a decent rest period of 4 minutes.... was more interested in getting good quality reps than totally...
