Anyone know any good personal trainers in Cork. City/Fermoy area? I want to learn how to squat/ DL ect correctly. Guys I’ve looked up are either into crossfit ect or want you to join up for a couple of months progamme. I’d like to go to a P.T every 2 months or so and do the actual workouts at home. I’ve all the weights ect.
As an aside someone mentioned Dominic Munnelly. He’s website is v good, with loads of good info

I can’t get through lately as I really need some guidance on proper running. Must be gone to bigger and better things like assessing the 32 counties fitness in February.
anyone doing tabatas? beat the shit out of jogging
I’d do both if i were you Turenne. The more you do the more you lose, the fitter you get, the better you feel. Write down your week (college, work, study time, social time etc) and put in order of priority. Then work out how many hours you have for exercise.
When you have that done PM me what you have available and i’ll tell you what you have to do and what you can skip etc.
Colm Crowley in Donnybrook Douglas ALBERT. Its kinda unusual to go to a trainer every few monthsand really is not of great benefit. I would say once a month for testing and progression would be fine for you and the trainer, anymore is a waste of time.
:lol:
?
Sorry count, thought you were taking the piss, its been discussed quite a lot here recently. Tabatas are not to be abused though.
Sprinting is still better than Tabatas though, but for some people sprinting might cause injury.

re tabata
done 3 sets of 4minutes using various excerises like squats, dips, lunges and so on tonight before going for a run
how many 4min sets should a lad be doing to improve general fitness, is there any rule on it youd be a bit fucked alright after 3 sets but id hardly call it a workout on its own
Yeah not a bad site runt…
A true Tabata (from what i’ve read) is just one 4 minutes of one exercise. I would suggest maybe doing the one with a number of the basic exercises each day/night. You may not be completely fucked but the quality will decrease. The point is to overload on the exercise so changing the exercise while good for conditioning if a balanced circuit is not the point of it. I would go (lets say 4 days a week;
1 - Press ups
2 - Chin ups
3 - Squats
4 - Glute Raises
When you perfect them and piss through them then you could adjust the exercises with difficulty. Like a Press Up with clap to press up burpee, and for a squat you’d go to one legged to jumps etc. Glute raises to one legged glute raises to broad jumps. Chin ups just add weight or whatever, that would be the hardest to nail.
Basically build strength and then add power.
Ya, been on that a bit. They give good advise generally even if i personally wouldn’t agree with absolutely everything.
Did the Enniscorthy 10k yesterday. Tough enough course but got a PB out of it. Slow by most peoples standards but broke 50 mins for the first time. The entire Wexford Youths panel did the race as well and managed to beat a good few of them home so was happy with that. Not sure a 10k road race is an ideal part of pre-season training but I’m no expert in that regard.
Time to take on those inbred St James lads in 2 weeks time next :guns:
Croppy, if you’re at home next weekend there’s a duathlon in Bunclody on Sunday morning. 3k run/22k cycle/3k run. Details here if you’re interested - http://racing795.com/2012/01/30/racing795-open-duathlon-training-session/.
There’s also going to be an adventure race in Rathnure sometime towards the end of June. No details confirmed yet other than the kayaking will be in Graiguenamanagh. Presume the cycle would go over Mount Leinster to there with a mountain run up a steeper section of Mt Leinster.
come at me…
Well done Mac, sub 50 is very respectible.
Not down next weekend Mac. You’ll be well ahead of me in the 10k. I’ll be happy to break the hour mark as it’s my first proper 10k.
I had gait analysis done last Saturday at the Base2Race in Ballymount. Good to get the stride analysed - I was shocked at how I was striking with my heel first - overall I’d rate it as 60% good advice and 40% a good marketing ploy.
I’m getting a bike fit done there in a few weeks as well.
That adventure race sounds good as well.
Heading playing some badminton tonight. Haven’t played in years. Must relearn some of the rules beforehand. Roads are still covered in ice and snow in my area so the running has taken a back seat for a while.
Fair play Mac. 258th place - just out of the medals…
Your good wishes mean a lot to me. Was surprised you wouldn’t take part seeing as the route passed by your gate.
A noble game
