Setting PBs & Feeling The Strain | Si's Four Weeks Of Fitness Challenge Ep.4

Clock00:00, Friday 24th April 2020

Having a training plan isn't always straightforwards. You don't always make regular improvements and sometimes you need to work harder for them than others. Plus, regardless of the amount of effort you put in it doesn't always go quite as you'd hoped. Si's now into the third week of the Four Weeks Of Fitness challenge and he's starting to feel the fatigue.
