In Robert’s words

Training, fuelling, recovery.

I’m Robert, I enjoy pushing the limits of my body and finding out what my breaking point is in different events both physically and mentally. I do this professionally as a full time firefighter and physically running ultras.

9th in a 100km ultra marathon in the Peak District
3rd in my age group at the Strong Back Yard Ultra for overall time
4th in hybrid games mixed doubles with my partner
Do you track your calories and if so, how many calories do you consume per day

Depending on my work load for the week my calories range from 3500-4500 a day.

If you wasn't doing your sport what would you be doing

If I wasn’t doing the things I was doing now and I could do any sport I’d love to be able to do triathlon and Ironmans. I feel like that’s coming for me though just a matter of time.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be

If I could have one meal for the rest of my life it would probably be a yoghurt bowl with all the trimmings, I have one every day so it makes sense.

How do you usually introduce yourself: "runner", "lifter" or "its complicated"

I introduce myself as an all round band man as I honestly can do most things. I don’t excel in one I’m just good across the board.

Cardio day or strength day - what wins your heart

Cardio days win my heart, nothing more stimulating than a big horrible conditioning session thats 60 minutes +

“One word to sum up my training style would be chaotic.”
