you know, I tend to think that Craig's sales pitches are way over the top, but to be honest his programmes - Turbulence Training - are pretty solid.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was taking part in "Dry January". I didn't make a big song and dance about it, but I decided to go for a calendar month or so with no alcohol. A few people have asked me about my experience, so here are a few points. Why take a break from drinking? Alcohol is an interesting topic. As a drug it is widely accepted in society, central to so much of our socialising and leisure. There seem to be lots of health benefits - so we are told - yet there are also a lot of problems in terms of health, relationships and lifestyle that come from drinking.

You talk about training enrgy systems and training geared towards specific activities. well I am afriad that applies to a very small percentage of folks out there. Infact ,if I were to identify one thing that stops people making progress it is strying to adhere to routines and protocols that are beyond the average persons reach.
