Training camp

Manchester City (the best team in the land and all the world) have got their pre-season training underway and in similar fashion I have my own training camp which involves me going on holiday for a week. I’ve got my plan all sorted – After careful consideration I think I’ll benefit most from a series of short distance events, for example to and from the bar. My friends may even be up for relay trips where we alternately cover the distance before recovering with a high-carb high-hops refuel shake (or a beer if they don’t have any of those).

EXERCISE TIP NUMBER 21: DUE TO NEWTON’S THIRD LAW OF MOTION, IF DRINKING LOTS OF BEER MAKES YOU RUN FORWARDS SLOWER, IT SHOULD MAKE YOU RUN BACKWARDS FASTER.

Also thanks to James Bamber (on twitter: @ReverseRunning) for the tweet:

For those who don’t know he’s the guy in charge of UK Backward’s Running; sort of the Lord Coe of reverse running (although strangely he hasn’t received a knighthood yet – must have been lost in the post). So if you have an interest or questions about backwards running, he’s the guy to go to. And if he likes this blog, he must be a top bloke. Anyway thanks for reading and keep your eye’s peeled for a Bamber for Knighthood petition coming your way.
