British Military Fitness have big plans for their event series, The Royal British Legion Major Series (www.majorseries.com), all new and improved for 2016.
To find our more, Run247 sent along Paul Hayward and Paul Shanley to British Military Fitness HQ in Chiswick to learn about the muddy obstacle challenge events, plus the growth of British Military Fitness.
British Military Fitness (www.britmilfit.com) was launched in 1999 looking to offer people the opportunity to train without a gym. Now in 2016 they have 400 events taking place at 130 locations around the UK. I have to be honest and say I have never really thought the training is for me, as I pictured myself in a field being shouted at by some big army instructor that I haven't done enough press ups... The reality it appears is far from that.
We spoke to co-founder Sergeant Harry Sowerby, who actually came up with the idea when he was an extra on the film Saving Private Ryan, and Alex Stanley, Head of Events for BMF to find out more:
If you want to get involved in training with BMF, you can find locations and classes through the website here: www.britmilfit.com.
