What's in the issue

Speculation is rife about who the new James Bond will be. Of course, here at Men's Fitness we like to think that all of our readers would have the requisite skills to step into the well-worn tuxedo of Daniel Craig and become the next 007. But, if you really want to know what it takes, turn to our feature on p38 to find out what's needed to be Bond. And, yes being a cunning linguist is one of them. Elsewhere, we discover what it's like to train like a pro athlete, using the latest science to measure pain, rather than the 'ow that hurts' scale (p34). We also find out what the best time of day to train is (clue: it's not when you think).
