Killer Hill

Note the lone figure at the bottom of the hill


Awoken by the 6.45am bang on our front door and the dog going crazy lets me know it's time to to visit that sacred place called 'Killer Hill'.

45 seconds of maximal effort, lung busting, heart pumping and hard running, by the end it felt like I was wearing lead boots. This is the third time since I've been back training and it's only getting harder. The young bloods do five sets and I've been doing three but four today, aarrrrhhhhh it hurt!!.

Why are you doing this? I hear you ask, I guess I need to feel the pain and revisit the good ole days lol. seriously though, I like to train with my athletes to show them I push myself as they do. I get to share the journey, feel their pain when they lose and share the success of winning. This is not 'The way' it's 'My way'.

P.s. I think they also like to see me in pain too!!! lol
