Had my first bash at Hyrox today (went to the gym you go to in westhoughton @LH white) absolutely disgusting. It’s Done my bad back and shoulder no good at all but I’ll be back there on wed! 

Hyrox the new version of crossfit wankers......

the gym i went to did it. the problem is most mere mortals get tired and the trainers don't watch for form etc like the judges do. loads of lower back problems at the gym

Rejoined the gym last week, today burnt 1000 calories and 5 miles on treadmill before breakfast. Frozen shoulder slowing me down, but honestly thought I had hernia on 15kg abdominal crunches- worst cramp ever, had to push my gut back in. Not weighed myself yet

Anyone in strength or muscle training, this gut is brilliant.

Busts so many myths and utter bullshit you see and read all over the place. Silly diets and ill-informed advice, usually in exchange for cash.

Thanks Gonzo - going to look at this - just started a breakfast/lunch run/ evening gym and then dinner routine - I have to say the caffeine advice is really good. having a strong cup at 5 before heading to the gym at 6/7 has really helped. Still sleep like a baby.

Head not still into the running but tempted by a 10k in the Darrent Valley on the 12th May. I'll be slow but something to work towards I guess. Not done a race in about 3 years I'd guess.

I’ve been training a lot more frequently and harder the last couple of months than usual, and I’ve gradually seen my resting heart rate go down. However this last couple of weeks it’s continued to go down further than I expected (usually 49-52) and it’s now at 45. now that’s the RHR of a 20 year old athlete. I can assure you  I’m not a 20 year old athlete. @Smiley what’s your readings coming in at? Where’s Rudy when you need him?

Came back of holiday last week and decided I’m kidding myself that I’m not a fatty… been back a week, exercised every day, cut my calorie intake and lost 2% body fat and 2 pounds… gonna be a long haul this, looking to lose 20 pounds. 

Good work that. If you kept that rate up for a year you'd be 7.5 stone lighter! 😲
