Hey there,

There is little need to be training in 'a gym' to get great results, and fortunately the fitness world seems to be realising that now (even though many have known it for years!)

Unless you can pistol squat a very large kettlebell for reps, you don't need big squat racks or anything like that!

Most people can't even control their own bodyweight on that exercise, and what about things like handstand push ups, pull ups, single arm push ups and pull ups, panther walks, etc?

There are so many exercises that can be completed at home using only bodyweight, kettlebells, dumbbells and a jump rope (or any other odd objects!)

My own training is based around my Intense Conditioning methods which combines, strength and power exercises using isometrics, kettlebells and plyometrics as well as medium runs (5k) but mainly 400-800m intervals.

This enables me to optimise conditioning levels and build strength whilst keeping body fat below 10% - serves me well enough!

When you say you love running, do you mean long runs or just the act of running?

At the moment I'm using a 400m protocol to improve speed endurance which involves 15-20 x 400m with only 30 secs rest between. It's brought my 5 and 10k times down pretty fast recently!

Hope this all helps!
Jon
