yes

"all weather" means that the courts can be left out in all weather, not that they can be used in all weather

Day 22 - 35 mins cycle commute, trying to talk the kids into going to the mini works after tea

the lad and me went to the mini works - I didn't think I was tired, but three days easy pottering on grit over the last four days has taken its toll - makes me realise how far off climbing fit I am

legs are probably the strongest they have ever been, but joints and mass are joined and amassed against them

[nai]

Aargh nearly defaulted already

1 - 7 km walk up Cairn-mon-earn wth kids
2 - walk to shops, play on new kids boulder at park, actually quite hard on steepest bit. Dismantled a bouldering wall and loaded in van, now mine, yes!

3 - back at work, boulder session at the wall in the evening
4 - walk in woods with kids, can't remember exact time, but long enough for them to start complaining about being tired.
5 - walk to park with kids. play on boulder there.
6 - half hour weights session in gym at lunchtime, 7 km run in evening while son at Athletics
7 - not much, walked from station to work and back, was going to do beastmaker session, but knackered after first cubs session of the year. Claim rollover from yesterday.
8 -  bouldering session at the wall. Felt OK, but uninspired, as will be skiing next week, and not climb much the week after. Fell off the wagon sweet wise, was starving after climbing and hoffed a double decker and some marshmallow things. Lost about a pound a day this week though, shifting the food baby.

9 - Pretty sure I did a weight session at the gym, plus walk to work from station and back.
10 - beach proms 3 k at lunchtime 12:07 way adrift of PB, not unexpectedly. plus 2 x 1mile runs there and back.
11 - in town, lots of walking
12 - walk with kids
13 - packing mostly. walk to office and back.
14 - longer walk from parking to work, let it back to get flight.
15 - Ski Les Gets 30km, 7k vert
16 - Ski Avoriaz 38km, 7k vert
17 - Ski Grand Massif - 38km 8.5k vert
18 - Board Praz de Lys - 18km, 4k vert (powder day)
19 - Ski Les Gets - 49km, 9.8k vert
20 - Morning Ski Mont Chery - 15km, 3.8k vert
21 - walk to work, run about with cubs afternoon.

Make Yorkshire Hard Again, Make Shark Thin Again, it's all the same to me: I'm anti-inflationist.

Day 23 - 45 min walk to work with a visit to the gym on the way. Everything felt tired from 4 days climbing out of the last 5. Managed to repeat 40kg shoulder press, but couldn't do more than 4 reps per set (2 weeks ago managed 5 reps). Fast and light farmers walk was enjoyable again. Kettlebell lunges until legs turned to jelly

Day 24 - 35 min cycle commute. Again noticed that my bad ankle feels great after previous days farmers walk - less pain, more bounce. Odd.

[lagerstarfish]

Day 25 - Burbage West for some gentle grit. Then had a little run down the valley and back.

[lagerstarfish]

Day 26 - Awesome Walls Refuge For The Elderly with the kids. In between belaying the kids and chatting shit with old people I did a dozen routes on auto belay.

[lagerstarfish]

Happy new year Sharkathletes !

Time to assess the damage.

Weighed in at 160.2 lbs this morning which is the same as last year. Personally I’m looking for a repeat performance of >5lbs weight loss and no alcohol. Will be restarting food diary, weighing in every day, cutting down carbs especially sugar and skipping the occasional meal.

Just a dog walk and stretching for me today.

159.6lbs this morning so a big fat fail there. Certainly been eating as set out but obviously not in small enough quantities. Also because I’ve been focusing more on strength and power this has meant shorter sessions and more rest days.

No booze and looking forward to a glass or three of wine tomorrow. Exercised every day except a lost Saturday when I was so spaced out I forgot I needed to.

Dog walks have been my saviour and certainly been out with them in weather and for longer than otherwise so Tess and Roo appreciated it.

Happy with my climbing which is the main thing.

[jwi]

I worked out far from every day, but I made an effort to starve myself:

Weekly weight loss
-0.249310345 kg
Daily caloric deficit (generously assuming all loss is fat loss)
-274.2413793 cal

[SA Chris]

23rd - fast 5 k at lunch
24th - 12k at lunch. Had to do last bit faster thank expected, running late for school assembly
25th - 12k home from town. No love felt, legs like lead
26th - walked to park with kids, played of artificial boulder. Played with weights a bit in evening
27th - Core session in evening
28th - gym session at lunch
29th - walk to work and back
30th - first bouldering session for about 3 weeks. Didn't feel that bad, but performance dropped off a cliff quicky.

[lagerstarfish]

Day 27 - 35 min cycle commute
Day 28 - ended up walking lots of places - about 90 mins in total
Day 29 - 35 min cycle commute
Day 30 - walk 50 mins and gentle gym
Day 31 - 3 hours snowboarding indoors

Sharkathon 2020 completed relatively easily - I would probably have slacked off if it wasn't for the daily requirement of Sharkathon

[gollum]

Managed to run every day spat from one when arm/chest was so badly swollen that I couldn’t but did walk the running clubs cross country course.

Lots of climbing and weights up to the 9th after that rehab although have started very easy weights and bouldering in last few days.

Bit of an odd start to the year.

[kingholmesy]

So the final tally for me is:

Units of alcohol = 0.

Weight down from 12st to 11st 6 lb.

Exercise on 24 out of 31 days, including: 11 wall sessions; 4 outside climbing sessions; 2 fingerboard sessions; 5 antags sessions; 1 lot of yoga with the Mrs; and 1 run.

Pleased to get rid of the excess Xmas weight. Will have to see if it stays off when I start drinking again.

23rd - fast 5 k at lunch

25th - 12k home from town. No love felt, legs like lead
26th - walked to park with kids, played of artificial boulder. Played with weights a bit in evening
27th - 6km run while son at Athletics. Core session in evening
28th - gym session at lunch
29th - walk to work and back
30th - first bouldering session for about 3 weeks. Didn't feel that bad, but performance dropped off a cliff quicky.

31st - not a lot walk to work and back.

Edit - forgot about run on 27th.

That's it done. Doesn't look like much weight loss, loads of booze on ski trip, but got some decent running mileage in.
