Clear to see who the alpha is in that relationship.
Run back up Clarkes Hill. Half way up go into the estate on the right, not Willowmere, you’ll find a gap between the houses. A nice short cut but the ramp up into the estate is epic! Where the Redbull car is often parked.

When i first started coming down here i used to do two loops of monastery road running up Ckarkes hill twice and i wouldn’t even lose breath 
Time waits for no man.
A good half hour work out on the bars and i murdered the hill on the way back on the bike

What type of workouts do you do ? Did you say before that you do very little running /cardio ?
I do no cardio or running but only because I don’t enjoy it. You have to do what you enjoy or you won’t stick at it.
do strength and muscular endurance stuff and pilates. I enjoy it so I do 6 sessions a week.
I’ve been asked to join a masters sprint thing this year as of an age and I’d love to go back and sprint as I did love it but terrified of doing my Achilles as my focus is not getting injured but we shall see.

Would you lift much weights ?
Mainly lift weights.
I did a medical a while ago. Then did a follow up.
My takeaway no pun intended is that if you train a bit then the easiest fix is diet. Don’t eat porridge and eat eggs for breakfast is a huge one.

Easiest thing to do is find a cardio machine of sorts you can cope with. For me it is that ERG bike with resistance fan. Crank that all the way up and blast out an hour of it a few times a week keeps me sane and trim. I find just hammering the weights can leave you clunky and like a block.
Well actually, the easiest thing to do is play a sport. Even a game of 5 a side a couple of times a week would have ya the finest.

I don’t think it matters what you do. You just have to do what you do consistently. You’ll do something you enjoy consistently.
New episode on the optimal exercise intensity, duration, and frequency to prevent and reverse heart aging!
In this podcast episode, Dr. Benjamin Levine discusses his groundbreaking research, which reveals how three weeks of bed rest can have a more detrimental impact on fitness than 30 years of aging.
Dr. Levine details his research findings that show how a structured exercise regimen can reverse up to 20 years of heart aging by improving both shrinkage and compliance, as well as enhancing aspects of vascular age by 15 years.
He also discusses how resistance training and aerobic training have profound differences on the heart, what risks are linked to high-intensity exercise, why recovery is key for the heart, how exercise duration and intensity affect coronary calcium levels, what exercise dose increases Afib risk, and so much more.
This episode is a must!
