Hurt2Help are running the TransAlpineRun 2010!

This September our husband and wife team will retrace the footsteps of Hannibal:

296km - 8 Days - 17700m Ascent - Across Germany, Austria and Italy.

All in aid of Facing Africa, a little-known British charity concerned with the prevention and cure of the merciless disease Noma.

Their surgical rehabilitation of survivors is heartbreakingly wonderful and more than worthy of buckets of our sweat in the hope of filling buckets with your donations!

We are Shelley and Gav Phillips. Follow our journey ..

Friday 16 July 2010

Really nothing to see here. Really!

We are now 3 for 3. Yeah!


That makes a whole weekend of on compound training and, although left a little screwy, we are done .. phew!


Laps of 1.7km around the perimeter wall .. again.


This time running and "nordic" walking with heavy packs for variation.


This "warm up" leaves us very warm indeed and totally drenched in sweat as is the norm with our blistering summer temps.


And next? The gym and a wee beasting with another Shawn brain child .. let's start with a circuit, shall we?






Burpees are always a nice way to toast yourself before you get onto the treadmill at it's highest incline I find.


Benefit. Each session short and sweet to finish. Oh, and of course leg strength and mental toughness!


And now we are done. A lld on the lounge and perhaps the afternoon with good friends and a cuppa .. ??


(NB. lld = little lie down)
