"To fail is to actually succeed..."

Overview (A Little About Me)

25 year old endurance freak that has grabbed a pair of old running shoes and made a run for it in marathons and triathlons at a national level.

Interests

Triathlons, marathons, anything that involves wearing runners.
Professional café conusor and anything that is outdoors and fun.

Favourites (Food, Bodyparts, People)

Fave food is chicken, chocolate and melon Anabolic Window. Fave body parts on others... legs and little toe.

Motivations (What Motivates Me)

The ability or change in someone saying that they 'can’t' to overcoming the obstacles and succeeding. Seeing that that smile on their face or puffing their chest out proud when they reach their goals is priceless.

Training History (Years, Location, Trainer)

> Otago ELITE Institute of Sport
> Les Mills International
> Academy of Sport.

Training Schedule (Training Style and Tips)

Resistance to body weight (explosive power training, plyometrics, grid running, ladders, Para shoot drills, Chin ups, dips and press ups).

Spending quality time on your legs is the biggest piece of advice I can give. Also giving your body the time to adjust and recover from the impact of training is the best form of conditioning.

Cardio
2-4 x runs per week with every run different in time, speed and distance (don’t get caught up in recording times when first starting or you set yourself up for disappointment as every run has different conditions).
1-3 bike rides mixing up with indoor cycling and road riding.
Swim time, work in blocks with interval training, breathing is the key to your success in the pool.

Nutrition (Examples of My Diet)

White meats such as chicken, fish and heaps of it! I put this with salads vegies and nuts. I also generally have one big meal of pasta once or twice a week.

Best Advice (Fitness, Health and Training)

No matter how much we strive to succeed, we must never lose sight of what our goals are. Succeeding is one thing, but feeling good 'within' means a whole lot more. Training is about fun as well as winning... The minute we forget this we lose sight of what it is in life that makes us the athlete we are.
