The foundation is laid and James' workouts are now gearing into strength-specific training. Here's a great workout below targetting the chest, these were heavy weights for James so rest periods were sometimes up to 5mins between sets

From Sunday 5th July - also the opening day of the 2009 Tour De France, I'd like to personally welcome you to my website. I have been involved in training and racing for over ten years, with running being my initial passion. My first half marathon was in Great Britain and it took me 2hrs10; since then I have ran more than thirty half marathons with a personal best of 1hr25. I am also a three-time marathoner and ultramarathoner, running the St James 69km trail run in early 2009. This particular ultramarathon is regarded as one of New Zealand's toughest one day running races. I loved every painful, solitary eleven hours of it!

Whatever stage of fitness you are at, whether your goals are modest or crazy, I believe nobody is too unfit or too old to make changes in their lifestyle. My aim is to inspire, motivate and provide you with a base so that you can live a healthier and happier life. I believe through exercise, good nutrition and a balanced lifestyle that is lived in the NOW rather than the past or future you can achieve a higher state of happiness and content.

I'm always keen to hear from people so don"t be afraid to drop me a line. And if you have a question you need answering just put "Ask The Trainer" in the subject line and I'll do my best to answer it in one of the upcoming VO2max magazines.
