Week 9

Monday 13 April

Slacklining for a couple of hours with V&M

Tuesday 14 April

Run, 3.5 miles. Flipping stitch again. Even after I made a special effort to concentrate on breathing, and trying to run sower. I think they may be linked to dehydration?

Wednesday 15 April

Climb down the Unit, 2-2.5 hours. 1/2 time spent on 15o, other half at 30o. Managed to do several warm ups on the 30o angle. Callouses hurt from the holds though. Endurance core workout. Amazingly no stomach muscle ache the day afterwards.

Friday 17 April

Run: 3.5/4 miles. Made sure I ran slower this time, which paid off. Easily cruised the distance, no stitches or breathlessness - had more 'go' left at the end of the run (shame I had jobs to do so couldn't really push it). Pretty pleased with that.

Week 7

Monday 30 March
Climbing @ the wall. 2 1/2 hours
Also did some rings - pull ups, off set pull ups, lock offs.

Tuesday 31 March
3 mile run after work in new trainers. Very happy with them. Up and Running, Nottingham get my vote for service.
Came home and did some pull up training - 3 sets of 5 reps assisted pull ups (both grips).
3 sets of 2 reps pull ups

Wednesday 1 April
Eye appointment - not sure if I'll be able to climb

Thursday 2 April
3.5 mile run after work. Possibly ran a bit too fast. Stitch 3/4 way round. Felt good though.
40 push ups (sets of 10)
50 sit ups (sets of 10)

Saturday 4 April
Boudlering @ Brimham Rocks in Yorksshire. Fairly hungover (a habit I need to break out of) but felt strong. Nearly latched a 5+ I was trying - frustrated I didn't just lob for the top.

Sunday 5 April
Slacklining in Roundhay Park. 5 steps! Success!
