It looks like Summer is finally on it’s way, but just in case,
we’ve given you a cracking recipe for a really tasty, healthy
curry on P14.
With the sunshine comes lots of fantastic competitions for
you mudders. This time you can win tickets for Brutal 10,
Summer Nuts and Iron Run.
The Spartan season has kicked off with a bang, we LOVE the
front cover image and there’s more about them on P20-P21.
Who’s up for a Trifecta this year?
Those summer bodies will soon be making an appearance
and what better way to prove you’ve worked hard than to
get those abs out? We’ve a tough challenge for you on P42
so please join us on that regardless of whether you have a
1,2,4,6 or an 8 pack. ☺
We’ve visited some, quite frankly, BRILLIANT events in the
first quarter and can’t wait for the rest of the season to unfold.
With a few newbies popping up here and there we are literally
on the edge of our seats to hear your feedback on those so do
please tell us what you think.
Please send us your stories. We want to hear all about
your travels, your antics, your charities and why you run,
your highs, your lows, your best bits and your worst bits.
Email us at
– you can also
use this email to enter all of our
competitions.
I’m off to pack my kit bag,
I’ll see you all very soon.
