Built To Last is a training programme that will build high levels of general physical preparedness - speed, power, strength and endurance - around the reality of busy modern lives. It is for folks who are serious about fitness but have realistic demands of kids, careers and the busy-ness we all have in life today.
It is based around 4 training sessions a week that aim to mostly be completed in under an hour.
All the programming is taken care of, drawing on over a decade of coaching people just like you - and of course my own experience of becoming a Dad and the challenge of maintaining my own fitness.

30-90 minutes - Bike/Row/Run/Hike
A
At conversational pace move for 30-90 minutes. Pick either a bike, row, run or hike. Or you can combine 2-3 of them. *If you are going to run, don't dive straight into 90 minutes if you haven't done any for a long time. Build up slowly over coming weeks. * Use a HR monitor to stay in zone 2 if you want. Personally I just stick to a pace that I can just about hold a conversation.
