Depends on your current condition, if you can run a 10k in sub-50 minutes then I would say you're in pretty good shape to start trainingn for Tough Guy, if not then you need to get some miles in.


6 hours of adventure racing in Cannock for me this weekend

I was going to do this but just checked how much it is to enter and I dont think I`ll be doing it now ! Thats just stupid money tbh !!

This is my weekly training plan 12 miles a day on the bike, Jog 3/4 miles 3 times a week and fartlek (sprint/fitness wk) twice aweek. And gym 3 times aweek. high protein low carb diet eating 3/4 times a day with iso protein shakes one in morn 1 at night and amino tablets after wk out and creatine bout 20/30mins before work out. I also try and get some swimming in but the misses plays hell with what I do already.

Try this and u`ll be at a good level of fitness within 3/4 weeks dependent on how hard you push your self, you then just need to up the level of either the gym for size or cardio wk for fitness.

I forgot to add, I dont do a thing over the weekend and take time to rest and allow myself to eat what ever I want rather than cutting the carbs.

Hope that helps

Do you rate creatine? I'm about half way through a bottle of it and still not 100% that its worth the cash tbh. Whey seems to shorten my recovery quite a bit and I'll def be keeping it going.

I'm also not 100% on the speed creatine actually acts. i read that creatine is changed to creatinine in the body after 24 hours but like you I have been advised to take it before and after a work out (climbing) so no idea what is the best practice?

I use this http://www.myprotein.co.uk/products/cee, I`ve been using it about a yr now and can defo tell when Ive taken it and when I forget. I take 2 tablets in the morn then 4 before wk out and then amino acids during the day and after wk out x3 a day. Check out the website its great help if you need any info.

Very similar to what I do, run 6 days a week between 5 and 15 miles a day, 4 days running with a 10-12 kilo bag. Cycle 5 days a week (twice on a Wednesday so 6 rides), between 6 and 9 miles to spin my legs between runs. Gym 3 days a week, circuits once a week and a game of football on a Thursday before work.

I rate it extremely highly fwiw, second only to steroids proper. But you get what you pay for. Holland & Barrett creatine for example might not be everything you'd hoped. Personally I use Multipower Professional Zellmax and i'd conservatively estimate it adds 10% to my lifting ability. I only use it as a workout drink, and try to have a few weeks' break from it every few months. Highly recommended.

I commute to wk 6 miles there and between 6 and 10 on way home depending which way I decide to come home proper hammering it generally takes about 17/19 mins to work, I them go for a run as soon as I get from work while i`m still warmed up. Then 3 days aweek I go straight to the gym after that and the other 2 days I do fartlek training.

I do nothing at a weekend though and eat and drink like a machine so I need to do summat to keep me in shape.
