DEKA FIT Doubles — 27:39
1st in AG
3rd OA
We got our tactics absolutely spot on. We played to our strengths, with Rob doing more of the running and me taking on more of the stations.

Doubles isn’t about splitting everything 50/50 it’s about getting the most out of each other, and that’s exactly why we make such a good team.

Fastest none elite time of the weekend, so I think it’s definitely time to start backing myself and put us in the Elite wave next time.

Such a great day catching up with everyone from Storm, Cave and our relay team. Always better when you get to race and spend the day with a great people!

FEATURED OLD GUY: GRENSON JONES, 52
Stoke-on-Trent, UK 🇬🇧

Grenson trains across HYROX, DEKA and weightlifting—with some “slow running” thrown in for good measure.

His goal isn’t simply a flag at a competition. It’s staying in shape beyond 50 and retaining the ability to say yes to whatever challenge comes next.

That mindset has been tested.

A discectomy in 2009. Slipped discs in 2024. Toe fusion last year—with another operation ahead this November.

The setbacks have applied the brakes, but they haven’t stopped him. At 52, Grenson says he is training harder than ever.

Whether it’s climbing a mountain, entering another competition or skydiving, he still wants to try new things and discover what his older body can do.

“I want to keep saying yes.”

What a weekend at Manchester DEKA FIT! 🎯

We couldn’t be prouder of every single member of our community who stepped up to compete across DEKA FIT Singles, Teams, and Ultra.

From first-time competitors to seasoned athletes, everyone represented our gym with determination and incredible sportsmanship. Months of hard work was put into this and unwavering commitment all came together on race day and it showed.

A huge congratulations to everyone who competed, especially those who came away with podium finishes and earned their DEKA flags. Every achievement is a testament to the effort you’ve put in, and we’re honoured to have such an inspiring community representing our gym.

Now it’s time to set our sights on the next challenge…

📍 DEKA FIT Derby

To help everyone prepare, we’ll be running DEKA FIT simulations in the lead up to the event, giving you the chance to sharpen up before race day.

And….

Fridays walk across the Welsh mountains. Always a pleasure to be amongst nature and forever grateful for the simple things we take for granted.

Just three of the things I love: hiking, mountains, and photography… oh, and mild character assassination of my mates for entertainment purposes.

Mountain man himself, @grensons_adventures, got us up there in one piece – which is honestly impressive considering he led the charge from the back. And I don’t mean “supportive rear position” – I mean “trailing like an afterthought on a steep incline.”

Adam, meanwhile, went full wine bodyguard. Barely spoke a word on the way up, laser-focused on every step like a sommelier scaling Everest. The only things he did say were: “I’m not going near that edge,” “Grenson’s not getting any of my wine,” and “Andy… you did bring your own wine, right?” Relax mate – of course I did. I even offered yours to Grenson. That’s the kind of friend I am.

At the summit, Grenson had a budget reality check. Turns out his bag of £1 “essentials” was more “poundland cosplay” than actual kit. After pitching what looked like a tent made from bamboo skewers and regret, he wrapped himself in an emergency foil blanket and shivered like leftover party food. Even his Spider-Man hat couldn’t save him.

Adam, having successfully guarded his wine like it was liquid gold, passed out and began snoring in a rhythmic, demonic hum that echoed across six mountains. Think didgeridoo… if it hated peace and quiet.

By 5AM I was wide awake – mainly because I couldn’t wait to hear Grenson’s morning moan. And wow, did he deliver: the £1 mat, £1 sleeping bag, £1 pillow, and complaints about the “premium” £30 tent. To be fair, the pillow was thinner than the mat, and the mat was thicker than the sleeping bag, but somehow everything was still flimsier than his excuses.

The real heartbreak came when Adam and I cracked open our full English ration packs – hot, glorious, and smug – while Grenson swirled the last of his tuna water and the lukewarm backwash from yesterday’s flask. Sorry mate – it’s survival of the fittest on the mountain. That’s what you get for smashing 62 butties, 4 bags of crisps, and a Mars bar before we’d even set foot on the trail.
