Doug Plunkett

I'm a keen endurance sportsman and my biggest achievement was completing the 2007 Austrian Ironman, for those of you unfamiliar with Ironman it consists of a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike and a 42km marathon!

I moved into triathlon from a running background having run in several marathons and half marathons. This has given me a great understanding through study and personal experience of endurance training. Which is the basis for all fitness, whether you’re looking to loose weight, tone up or compete in Mr Universe.

Going back a little further, I’ve been involved in sports or fitness since I was 14 years old when I was a member of the Norwich City Tae Kwon Do team and I got to fight in the British Championships. A few years later I went from one extreme to the other and trained at Laine Theatre Arts College for three years becoming a professional dancer for over 12 years and working in many productions from West End to TV and Film.
