If anyone is feeling really fit and wants to mix it up a bit then give tabata training a go, its a real killer.

I've been mixing my regular weights sssions up with HIIT - had a go at a tabata routine and nearly died.

This should explain it, can be used for lots of different types of training - but its one of those ones that if you do it properly you will swear never to do it again.

well i rolled over in my bed yesterday morning at 3:30am..couldnt drop back off to sleep so by 4am i was out..camelback, Ipod with my favourite tunes, reflector stipes on my ankles..for a run around my local..

Jogging around the Shangri la area of AD as the sun comes up is just bliss.

Wife and workmates think i need sectioned though..

well done. it so helps. My wife came along to my running club last night. i stayed with the nipper and we had a picnic whilst she went for a run. she loved it. It is more than a workout, its quite a social gathering.

So good on you, and dont underestimate 40 lengths of a pool, that is pretty damned good.

Just give up the snouts and you will be ok!!
