    I did Ironman Weymouth 70.3 last week and I burnt 8000 calories according to my garmin/hrm. With your formula that would have allowed me to eat (8000 x 3 + 3000) 27,000 calories on the drive home. I probably wasn’t far off. Another class video

    When I did rim-to-rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon (14 hours with a total of 11,000’ elevation gain!), I ate 5,000 calories the day before, 7,000 the day of, and 5,500 the day after. I was still hungry, but it was just too hard to eat more whole foods.

    That first barbed wire was probably a rolling one, if you get dizzy you flip over and roll the other way. That's what I stole from watching the pros. You can also take you hydration bladder off one arm and drag it through the low barbed wires to stop it getting snagged. A few things that might help with your next race ! Great video

    So good, I've never been big into fitness (at all, I was always the goalkeeper in PE), but having lost some weight (18 stone to 15 stone) via fasting, I'm looking to get in shape now I'm under 20% body fat. It's just, where the hell do you start to train for something like this? How many years does it take? I guess couch to 5k, then 10k, and just go from there. I'm turning 24 in April so it's inspiring to know you were able to turn it around later in life. Mental effort though, Mark. Been watching all your vids with my girlfriend over the last couple of weeks and we very much enjoy your humour and take on all things fitness and eating. Keep it up.

    I think it's always better to be in calorie credit soon after. I always find my body still feels in deficit a few days after if I haven't made up for the ones I burnt on the day of the effort itself. Those Spartans look like good fun, I might have to try one, although on the hanging exercises, I will find myself doing burpees which are my unicorn exercises.

Short stuff normally (JD) as I don’t get the drinking pints of alcohol thing! I’m just not that into it. Maybe because of my size I can drink a lot and not feel drunk…. Then go straight to ill!

    Another gem! I often wonder if the designer of Spartan OCR has ever actually ran one? Barbed wire just seems a bit much for my liking. But hey! I think OCR is excellent, and wish I was still young enough to try it. Hyrox is definitely an option as a halfway fit 65 year old. It does need to be said, if it hasn’t already? You are a gutsy, and decent athlete Mark! Taking your backstory into account, and the fact that you’ve done ultras, on top of everything else. Your dedication to your activities, your pain threshold, and the very fact that your videos are totally inspiring! Inovative, funny, and well documented, they certainly offer a lot, and are highly watchable, without being phony. Down to earth and real, is how I interpret them. I do hope you’re going to try some boxing, If you haven’t already? There’s a so called ‘White collar boxing organisation in London. Which you’d do well to try as an end product of your boxing training! 16 0unce gloves, and head guard. I suspect you’d do really well. Thanks for your inspiration. Not that I necessarily need it. It’s just the variables, offer excellent insights into my training load😎👍🏽
