Now that I have washed the mud off my legs and got my breath back, I must admit I feel slightly zingy. Ralph’s weekly Friday sessions in Primrose Hill or on Regent’s Park running track are the non-scary boot camp version for anyone looking for a giggle and a natter while they sweat. Ralph is ex army and was 7th in the 2006 World Duathlon Championships but honestly, don’t let this put you off. He is as friendly as you’d ever want a personal trainer to be and doesn’t throw his weight around too much.
So, stop dunking that biscuit in your tea (we have all given up on the January diet) and give your Lycra a flash next Friday morning. All fitness levels welcome.
And no, Ralph, I won’t sprint up the hill again.
