2022, Are You Ready?
Naturally, as we close off the year, it's a time of reflection.
What have I accomplished, and what goals did I achieve? What goals did I not? Most of us look ahead over the next 365 days and try to map out what we would like to do….and, so the process repeats year on year.
Do we need to wait until Jan 1st to start something new?
88% of millennials made a new years resolution in 2021, but how many stuck at it? This percentage or resolution makers drop as we age. Is the older generation wise that most resolutions are bollocks? Perhaps they understand that sustainable change cannot be defined by a date in the calendar.
We are a huge victim to the "January surge" in the endurance and fitness space.
"I'll join the gym and get fit in the new year,"…..but it's November?! What are you going to do for the next two months?
"I'll start my run training in Jan,"…..but building the foundations of endurance doesn't have a calendar either.
The earlier you start, the better you will be, SIMPLE.
So my message for you is relatively short and comes in two parts. The first, WHY WAIT?
Why put off something into 2022 when you could start now.
Put aside money into that savings pot, buy that new book, try that new recipe, sign up for that race (and get one of our fantastic endurance coaches), sign up for the open (and join one of our amazing Mainline classes!)
By waiting, the only thing you will have is regret.
The Second – KEEP IT SIMPLE. Access to information is instant, contradictory, and often confusing. Instagram models with pictures of their broccoli and dust lunch selling weight loss tea, tough 25 part bicep workouts, and the rabbit hole of carbon running shoes!
Simply put, eat a little less, move a little more, and you probably don't need carbon running shoes!
Failing that – ask one of the fantastic coaches at InnerFight, and we can guide you in the right direction….just don't wait until Jan 1st!
ENGINE
We are going to mix things up a bit this week, varying modalities, time frames and distances designed to push your aerobic capacity.
GYMNASTICS
To kick things off, we will spend some time on Pull-ups and chest-to-bar pull-ups before we move off the rig and onto the floor as we look to break down and develop the Handstand Walk.
HYROX
Working on compromised running this week. Running consistently strong when there is nothing left in your legs is a key skill in Hyrox.
MOBILITY
Improving your overhead mobility will show you how to improve not only flexibility but also stability using a few key exercises that you can do in your own time.
PURE STRENGTH
In Pure Strength this week, we will kick the week off with a mixture of paused and unpaused back squats, followed by some heavy single-leg work. Wednesday sees us continue our progression on the strict press and the stationary dips.
WEIGHTLIFTING
This week in weightlifting we focus on the power snatch and hang power snatch with a series of complexes followed by some EMOM percentage work
Track Tuesday
The purpose of this workout is to develop threshold speed. To do this we’re running through 3X800m into 2X400m finishing with a final best effort over 800m, then repeating the whole set again!

Start time: 05:59 am
