I've been doing my physio exercises... And not drunk anything for a week...

[SA Chris]

I'm run off my feet at work, so not reporting every day, but still trying to do some exercise.

most improtantly, where's Shark been since the 4th?

Sulking about my running   

Sun 4th Plantation then fingerboard
Mon 5th PM Systems board - ok but faded fast. Tried to start an AnCap session but too tired so tried to do eroCap but too tired for that as well
Tues 6th Eve Foundry with Tommy 10 easy routes in the Furnace (active rest)
Weds 7th Eve Schoolroom 2nd visit - did my project 6A Chalk and Blow

Also 5 days without alcohol

Good work chaps - glad it is providing that little extra bit of motivation required to put your boots or running shoes on

[fatdoc]

I'm still in.

No booze, and just about keeping ti the exercise.

Not in the same league as the 400ers.

But all this really helping the motivation.

Cheers all

[tomtom]

The 400 thing just sounds dangerous to me!..

Fair play Nick, but its just so far out of my capabilities (physical or boredom!)...

Weight is dropping off me at the moment - lightest in recent memory this morning (sub 11:3) and I think the main reason is no booze.. I guess a beer/large glass of wine a night adds up to nearly 2000 calories a week.. close to 1 days worth of food...

[fatdoc]

If I don't lose weight from my abstinence I'm gonna b gutted on that basis. If do, I'll carry on and see how far I can take it...

[fried]

I managed Monday/ Tuesday with no booze, yesterday was too depressing, so I had a large glass. I'm at 76.9kg my heaviest in years, I put on a kilo and a half in 1 week in the U.K, I swear as soon as I put a foot back in blighty I absorb grease or something.

At the end of lasy year's sharkathon I was less than 75kg.

I've also discovered the holy grail of climbing - porridge.

[Duma]

2hrs at wall (with daughter so very gentle) might run briefly in a bit.

[fatdoc]

Pounding the pavements for a quicker 4 mile run than last time. In the dark after a 10 hour shift. Harsh.... My legs feel fucked.

[nik at work]

Just the 400 today, was hoping to go swimming this evening but #1 son decided he'd rather build his remote control Lego monster truck, which to be fair is boss.

[cheque]

I'm still hanging in there. Haven't eaten any cake, sweets, chocolate or biscuits this year yet either.

Felt strong and light at the wall this evening and got more points in my first session on this months comp problems than I did in three on the last!

I thought this could be useful for all sharkathletes. Especially the HIIT plus SSC advice and the obvious peri-workout nutrition advice.
I hope it helps, good luck to everyone of you.

[Duma]

35min/4.5mile run on way to get car from garage this morning (steady state, sorry nibs)

[fatdoc]

Useful stuff Nibs. I agree when to eat is always a tricky one...

Usual floor core session before work.

Free weights session of total ardour this eve... Didn't use creatine, near no carbs all day and on a new set of excercises... Learnt the hard way that trying to max out my best 10 reps in dead lifts less than one third through a session leaves you blown for the rest of the session.

Must reorder the exercises...

Feeling rather odd..

[kelvin]

I ended up ill on Wed - came home from work at 11am and went straight to bed, something I never do when I'm ill. back on it yesterday with yoga but today I headed unexpectedly off to the coast to buy a van for the trip. Got guests arriving in a bit and nothings ready (mate's 50th).

Safe to say I failed. :-(

[nik at work]

The 400

Went to the wall, did the Boulder league, then did some routes for a bit of pump ~1.5 hours

Let you off the odd day mate. Seems more than fair!

[kelvin]

Cheers Doc! Seeing as the van will be home for 6 months whilst climbing in Spain... it'll help me lose weight and stay off the booze :-D

An investment in my future healthcare.

Is it up to the standards of the Fucking Awesome Digger?

[nik at work]

The 400

A couple of freezing hours working trad projects.

More significantly #1 son has completed the monster truck and it is awesome squared. Proud father moment, pretty impressive build for a 7 year old.

[fatdoc]

Proper 90 mins of above av. ( for me) flow pose yoga first thing this morning, felt better than it ever has, really satisfying.
Then down to the Works, eclectic random problem session with the lad and mrs FD. Great fun.
Kinda thinking I was climbing ok, nothing amazing, but certainly doing better than I have been.

[Duma]

12 hr days this weekend so not much spare time...
The 400.
Fuck me nik that's hard. Did it over the course of three hours as started out at work (no bar) so had to wait till got home for the pull ups. Also was scared by the comments on leg raises so made sure to rest between sets so could maintain form.

I remember him contentedly running his digger through the dust at Rubicon - good to hear he's still making good progress in the subject

[nik at work]

Is that your first 400 Duma? Sounds very similar to my first set on the 2nd jan. Now I get up in the morning and can do half of the set (25 pullups 50 situps 50 pressups 50 leg raises 25 pullups) in about 5 minutes. Then five minutes putting on the kettle and making sandwiches for everyones lunch then another five minutes doing the second half.
