Mike McCarthy Personal Training

I'm afraid the latest national lockdown means I will have to stop all 1-2-1 sessions at D4 Fitness until the restrictions are lifted.

As in March, stay safe everyone and see you on the other side 👊

Strengthening muscle fibres in key areas can help to improve your ability to withstand muscle fatigue experienced during running.

Strong muscles can help you run further and for longer but running actually breaks down muscle mass. To help combat this, you should add some weight strength training to your weekly workout regime.

I offer 1-2-1 personal strength training designed specifically for runners. This is particularly good if you've been a runner for a while and you feel you've hit a plateau. This could well be the added boost you need.

I have over 15 years running experience and can testify to the benefits of adding weight training to your training plan.

Message me now to arrange a FREE 1 hour taster session. All sessions take place at D4 Fitness in Warrington town centre and are in private 1-2-1 fitness suites.

Return of parkrun in England next month ‘unlikely’ - AW Surge in coronavirus cases mean chances of parkrun comeback in late October is slim

Fantastic news!

Parkrun to resume in England in October The weekly mass participation Parkrun events are set to resume England by the end of October.

I hope you're all coping ok during the lockdown. There's loads of top notch content online about how to keep fit in this strange time. FWIW in my opinion the three best fitness YouTube channels are:

1. Athlean-X

2. Picture Fit

3. Buff Dudes

They all make great fitness content anyway, but there's great stuff on there specifically about lockdown exercise.

Stay safe everyone.

Huge congratulations to my client Debbie Helen who today SMASHED her Warrington parkrun personal best! In just over a year she has improved her 5k time by almost 15 minutes!! Keep going at this rate and you'll be getting a call up to the Olympic team! Well done, Debbie!!!
