Nice one, if yo fancy a running session once a week or something mate let me know

I also train at bodybox (funnily enough, the boxing gym) most mornings if you're ever in there. Great for circuits and sparring with the missus (seriously) :D

Hi - i'm new here but have alot of questions, but will hold back for now. But i'd like to know one thing if possible for now.
