We’re half way through the year now and it got me thinking about why I train and exercise and what I’m training for now.

Previously all of my training was building towards races and focusing on different obstacles that would appear on a course.

I’m sure most of you in the Obstacle Racing scene will have over the last few weeks been hearing non stop about the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships.

If you haven’t and wonder what it is all about, it’s an amazing event where countries from all over the world come together to celebrate and test themselves amongst some of the great OCR athletes out there.

I've been all go this week with work and this weekend was a family party so it gave me a chance to properly sit back and relax and look back on this last year. 

Time has flown by and to think that I've been in the studio for 1 year has been amazing. Lots of clients have stepped through the doors all set on challenging themselves with the events they have planned and want to build their fitness for. For some its just been to get focused again and needing that friendly and supportive environment to exercise in. 

This year has seen me become more focused with my training and to do that I booked my place at the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships. Training has been going well, I've hit a few stumbling blocks along the way, one little niggle I have at the moment is with my shoulder and neck, which is stopping me from training quite as hard as I want to.

Some of you may have seen my training videos and making the most of training outside and using the boys swing frame in the garden to practise my pull ups and grip strength work.

I’m sure loads of you think this is crazy training in this weather, but for me it marks the start of my next goal.

It's been a busy few weeks with all of us at Fundamental Sports and Fitness.

Some of you may have heard about how I got into coaching, many think its because I love sport and competing, which yes that is a big reason.

You might have seen some of my videos last week about me starting training and having a Biomechanics assessment completed by Tiff at Ridefit Academy, if you want to find out more check out some of the videos I've done and if you're looking to be able to move better, drop me a message.

Ever felt like you've been hit by a train after a race?

I took part in Mud7 at the weekend, what an amazing event and boy does my body know about it. I eyed up this race last year and had it on my radar as a goal to complete this year.

I'm sure most of you want to look and feel good when your racing and taking part in an event.

Over the weekend and epic bunch of ladies took part in The Suffering Race aiming to get LEGEND status.

What a weekend!

A few weeks a go I put a video out on Facebook. Did you get a chance to watch it?

Its a hot topic this week in the obstacle racing world.

Have you seen the videos on my Facebook page from yesterday?

How was your weekend, how many of you were at Tough Guy?

The pictures and videos look good, hearing about people getting stuck in the car park at the end not so good.

One of my clients Cheryl, has been taking part in the 6 Week Blast Programme was there at the weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing her tonight in the session and hearing all about it as well as her showing off her medal to everybody.

As most of you know at the weekend I held another Pull Up workshop.

From the moment launched the new date it was fully booked that morning!

These ladies were quick to act and they were amazing.
