I attended the EFX Fitness seminar in Oxford last weekend and got stuck into this gladiator training session by Neil Parsley, he's the GB taekwondo and GB Wrestling strength and conditioning coach.

I'm the one dressed in green hammering the tyre with a sledge hammer, have some of that!

I really enjoyed doing this and if anyone in Oxford sets this up I will be there like a flash.

The seminar was really enjoyable and I learnt quite a few good tips that I can use

Cultured day out in London

Just coming back on the coach from a day out in London.

We headed for Borough Market to begin with, it’s a little bit of foody heaven with loads of great stores.

Got some yummy salads from a middle eastern stall, a bottle of flax seed oil some sumac dried and crushed middle eastern berry and a couple of alphonso mangoes for Jack. Mangos are his favorite.

We then walked along to the tate modern to see the photography exhibition Exposed voyueristic street photography. Good but not great.

Cup of tea on the balcony before walking back along the river to Westminster and home. It’s been really hot so we had half a Stella each. Thought I’d be too pissed if I has a whole pint. Lol how times change

I’d been asked the question why I wanted to reach a particular goal of mine.

I woke up with the words

‘This is my Everest’

That quote comes from one of the most inspirational sports speeches I have ever heard.

Do you know what your Everest is?
