Fast'n'ard

BIG week for Bryn and myself as we are off to Southampton Solent University, where laboratory Director & Senior lecturer Dr Stewart Bruce-Low, a BASES accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist and his students are quite possibly going to make one off us pass out and the other one throw up!

His words not mine: "We will look to undertake body composition (pinching your fat bits), VO2 max and lactate threshold tests. These final two tests will be undertaken simultaneously. I should warn you that these tests (not the body comp) are maximal in nature and suggest you do not train the day prior to this. This means we run you to the point where you either give up (test of mental strength too) or ideally to the point where your legs just give out. Hoorah... I love my job!!"

I think we can safely assume the good doctor loves his job.

We are looking forward to having a benchmark now and further testing closer to the event. At the moment it's a mix of excitement, apprehension and butterflies being chased by bears in my gut right now.
