Final V02 fitness test results

We have just returned triumphant from our final V02 max test with Dr Justin Roberts at the University of Hertfordshire. It seems we are all fit and raring to get on to that ice-cap! Jen has now stolen the crown of ‘Paula' (as in Paula Radcliffe, i.e. ridiculously fit) from Rachel and topped in the highest relative V02 score. Even Justin's fat-pincers were denied any over-indulgence at our bodies expense and the lean foxes were deemed to be in tip top condition and ready for action.

Justin also tested our strength and had the Foxes lifting each others body weight whilst doing press ups. Hardcore!

Roll on the 27th April… we're ready!
