It's the feeling when it;s over wether it be training or a race day, I feel like a KING. From pure pain to total ecstacy.

What are their views on X-Training?
It's the total package. What does bother me is that with all the training you have to do you can get side tracked in a race by a judgeing decision which costs you big style. But if it's a fair decision no worries.

My training partner is is Paul Morton. He got me started and has helped me every inch of the way.We have some brutal sessions together.i get on the treadmill next to him and think IT;S SUFFER TIME AGAIN.

How often do you train?
I Train on feel. if i;m really tired i don;t. if i feel a little tired then i;ll do an easier session.if i feel good i;ll go hard. But generally it;s six days a week from anything to 20mins to an hour and an half a session

Box jumps,shoulder press and step ups.
Teadmill and bench press scare me ****LESS!!!
