I was having lunch today with a client and some colleagues at Vivat Bacchus on Faringdon Street. When the menu came, we all pitched in with what we wanted to eat. One my colleagues mentioned he was on a special carb diet which meant he was mainly eating brocolli and other veg as he is training. His daily routine sees him run to the gym at 6:30am, do a weights workout and then run home and go to work. In the evening he gets home, puts the kids to bed and then runs to the gym again and uses the treadmill for an hour then runs home again. Coupled with his special diet, I was impressed with his commitment, so I started to quiz him about what he was training for.
It turns out that he has already run half-marathons and marathons, and has taken part in triathalons, so he does not have a race in mind. His goal? He told us (I think only half-jokingly) that his aim is to appear on the cover of Mens Fitness magazine! With his training regime and the level of effort he is putting in, I think he might just achieve it!
