I think it’s really important to have goals. With a goal in mind you will stick to your plan.

I tailor each person’s workouts to suit their goals just like I tailor my own workouts to suit my goals.

At the moment I have several goals. In order of importance I want to run 50km in 6 hours, run 5km under 21mins, dead lift 100kg, squat 80kg, press 40kg,  and boost my metabolism while I’m at it. Too much to ask?

To top it off, like everyone else I lead a busy life and struggle to fit everything around my schedule. There will be some days I can’t fit it in, and other days where I can make it up. Here’s how I’ll do it:

The great thing is all the running is done straight from the front door. Metabolic conditioning workouts are very short and I can fit in between other commitments. They can be done at home, in a gym or at a park. I only need to use the gym to work on my lifting which, since it’s not my #1 goal, can be done on only 2 or 3 days a week.
