Training Entry Numero 1
We are about four weeks into our training program and shall get a bit more detailed from here in.
Up until now we've managed our fitness in two ways, we are each responsible for our mid week training, and are responsible for maintaining our levels of stamina and strength. At weekends we push ourselves much harder and as a group
For three weeks on the bounce we have done beach sessions that start with long runs, followed by sprint, core and strengthening exercises.
Last Friday was a 10k run followed by all 82 floors of the tower I live in. Now as the weekends get closer, the session will get longer and harder. This Friday we are off to climb the 3rd highest mountain (hill) in the UAE, Jebel Hafeet
We've been ok with training, I'm sure all of us guilty to have not taken it as seriously as we can. But today things got more serious. For one, we realised we only have a month of fund raising left, which means the challenge is really creeping up - the second is that we were informed that we would be featured in the August copy of Mens Fitness, they'll be doing a feature on our training and climb - this is NOT good for middle aged over weight men. Time to pull the finger out!
So less Caramel latte's at the office, and more miles under the feet from now on.
That said, Ive not been too bad. Last night saw me climb my tower again, this time with a 15k rucksack.
Tomorrow morning I will be up at 6am to do some potentially fatal cross fit training
Watch this space!! The four of us have promised ourselves to now document all of our training, and journeys right up to the big day
More to follow soon
