Training Venues

One of the beautys of using kettlebells is that theyre easily transportable meaning that training can be conducted OUTSIDE! I try to train in as many locations throughout the greater Bunbury region as possible. Following are some photos of some of our training venues

Hill Runs


The local area presents with heaps of opportunities to run up some bloody steep hills. Every April i attack the biggest hill behind my home town, culminating in my own little tribute to the ANZACS on Anzac Day, when i try and break my PB. As i run up that hill and the pain starts to kick in i remind myself that my run is really easy, theres no one shooting at me and i dont hae to carry a pack

The Hill



This year i think i may have peak ed 4 days early as this morning (21st April, 2009) i screamed up that hill knocking 19 seconds off my PB so i now have the task of bettering 12:42 this Saturday

Generally at this time of year, and its one of the reasons i really enjoy this run, the hill has just started to turn green. Summer has finished and we have had some rainfall to freshen the place up and bring out local flaura and fauna. This year though we've had no rain and there is very little life other than bullants, a few roos, actually the roos are coming down from the hills toward town in search of food, and a couple of wedge tailed eagles..oh and the 6 foot tiger snake whose path i crossed today. Normally the cows are also grazing which tends to add to the thrill of the run...i dont trust cows theyve got that crazy look in their eyes..no bull.

To give an idea of how dry it is following are some photos taken on todays run
