Sand Dune Training with Coach Annaka Lloyd 😊😅

After a weekend of non stop events for our boxers, including sparring, a 9 mile racing event supporting a local charity and then a club run prior to their session last night.
Annaka took a bunch of boxers to the famous dunes for some sand training this evening.

Everyone dug deep and showed their determination, pushing themselves to their limits. 💪
Warm up jogs, Shadow boxing in the sand, sprints, repetitive hill reps and the finisher loop TWICE 😂

Every little helps in preparation for the new season.
Be proud boys 🥊💪

🥊 What a way to start the day! 🏃‍♂️🌧️

After a tough sparring session yesterday, the lads were up bright and early this morning to take on the Families in Grief Barney to Beach Run and they absolutely smashed it! 💪🔥

Well done to Sam, Jed, Kai and David, we couldn’t be more proud of you all. 👏👏

Despite all that rain, there were still plenty of smiles along the way! 😁🌧️

A special mention to Jed, who recorded a PB and is understandably pretty pleased with himself! 😊 Sam came in third against some tough competition from the local running clubs, while the others weren’t far behind.

Brilliant effort, lads. Let’s keep the hard work going as we head towards the new season! 🥊🥊

Barnstaple ABC — train hard, work together, keep improving! 💪🥊
