A National Champion, Seminar In Northern Ireland and 10K Winner!
It is fair to say that the weekend was full of good people doing good things……
We had one of my clients Asmund, winning a national title in his native Norway. He is one of a good number of shearers I am lucky to be helping.
Here is what he had to say:
Shear Performance Seminar- Northern Ireland
It’s not every weekend that you get to present to a group of such hard working and humble individuals.
Actually I have had the pleasure of travelling the UK this year and helping a group of forward thinking shearers to progress in their careers. For those that aren’t aware, Mike and I have helped two of the fittest individuals on this planet achieve world record feats in the last 15 months. When I say the fittest in the world, I make no joke about this…..we have the stats here and they have the world records to prove it.
So part of the mission of the Shear Performance seminars is to share this knowledge with others around the world to help them either move away from pain, have longer careers, earn more from one of the toughest physical jobs you will find and ultimately be healthier human beings.
On Friday night Matt Smith and I headed to Belfast International Airport to present at the Killyhevlin Lakeside Hotel , which by the way is lovely, if you get chance to go there! Matt, fresh from his award winning evening at the Farmers Weekly awards for Sheep Farmer of the year. To give you an idea of how humble he is, two years in a row he had been asked to run for it, he said no as he was busy with record preparations and then on the third yea, they begged him to run for it, so he did and him and his wife Pippa, deservedly picked up the award in London on Thursday. Safe to say he was pretty tired, but the knowledge he has for the young and more experienced shearers is unparalleled, in fact if you are wanting to learn and get on it that industry, you would be MAD not to attend an event with him.
So, the day itself …..10 progressive shearers attended and its safe to say it went down really well! In fact so well, I think we are back over there again before Christmas again this year!
10km winner……
One of my hardest working clients, got what she deserved this weekend! It is fair to say Kay hasn’t had the easiest of years with us trying to work out what has been causing a niggle in her calf which some days would be fine and other days was painful to the extent it would stop her running altogether. But we seem to have got to the bottom of that with the help of a podiatrist and a different set of running shoes and it looks like there will be no stopping her now…..
Kay won her age group at the Plymouth 10k race on Sunday and also really pleasingly managed a really consistent set of mile splits (6 of them) which suggests that she got the race about right…..it’s a nasty distance to run….one that is probably the hardest in terms of intensity because it is close to the Vo2 Max (our bodies maximal rate of oxygen uptake and delivery) of any distances.
Delighted for Kay, can’t wait to see how she goes this weekend at her half marathon.
**ATTENTION ** – If you need help…..please look here…..this could be the start for you >>
Thats it for now BUT we do have a 6 week MEN’s and 6 week LADIES programme starting monday if you need a push in the right direction.
Til next time, look after yourself!
