Its been around a month now since i started my new job at Radley College, a public school in Oxfordshire. Recently they have been upgrading their gym and sporting facilities. We now have the newest and frankly the best Real Tennis court in the country. Its a fantastic game and i urge you to come down and have a look at it.
We are also now starting on the new gym, complete overhaul of the gym facilities. A new free weights room, a new cardio and fixed weights suite. Its going to be amazing!!! No expense spared!
I have just ordered 22 Kettlebells and am starting up another new company called Oxfordkettlebell (http://www.oxfordkettlebell.co.uk) with another trainer called Janke who is another Oxford based trainer. We will be putting on workshops and 1-2-1 sessions in the coming months so watch out for us!
The real reason i am writing this today is to tell you about the awesome triathlon we organised for the school boys yesterday. There were around 36 entrants and because of the logistical nightmare of cycling we swapped it for the total body workout that is the rowing machine! Ouch! The format was as follows:
300m swim
2.5km run
2000m row
Kind of a sprint, but it was hard, lactic burning, lung busting hell. The winner was a guy called Fred Bolton who did it in 22 minutes 56 seconds, a pretty resonable time. I would have competed but i have had a bit of a cold in the last few days and need a few days to recover (no point in training when you are ill, you just make yourself worse!) We even had one of the masters come down and have a go, which was great!
I'll be posting more about the future dates for the kettlebell workshops in the next couple of weeks so check back soon!
Always improve, always evolve, never give up!
