Day 6: my wife came home from hospital yesterday afternoon and is bedbound and in need of pretty much constant care. No more walks for me for a while (in fact, my walking over the last few days has all been to the hospital and back). In pathetic lieu: 2 x 10 push-ups and 2 x 25 crunches/Day 12 dry. Maybe the numbers will slowly crawl upwards?

[Wood FT]

5/1 knob all. Stretching and some pull ups

6/1 pull ups, push ups and stretching

[Fiend]

Good luck Mr Popp (and Mrs)

Day 6: 30 mins breathing pure oxygen, 30 mins deep tissue massage (inc some around but not on knee) 

(Felt like it could be okay to rest my leg, as the muscles etc around the knee felt a bit achey due to compensatory usage. I did consider going to the wall but it was bloody bitter weather and I thought it would be too risky, not least because my elbow is feeling slightly tender after a dozen Font 0--s yesterday  )

[Duma]

Thinking of you Andy.

6 - max hangs. 2 x 1:10 plank.

72.1

[Fultonius]

Positive vibes Andy. Do all your travels around the flat on all fours - at least you'll get a core workout!

6th. 2.5 hour TCA session. Managed 2 news blacks in short time, one nearly flashed but got it after 3 or 4 goes (7A) and made progress on a hard move a 7B. Really noticing some quick gains from warming up in a shorter, more focussed and recruitment heavy way, 

[dunnyg]

6 Hourish of stretching. Done some research and got a routine to follow which will hopefully help make some gains in stretching!

Andy, any exercise better than non!

[battery]

Well wishes Andy.

Day 6 - 25 minute walk (got to love the school run) and 20 minutes yoga.

[nik at work]

Hoping for home based exercise inspiration and healing times for the Popps

Thanks for the cadence rundown, I don’t feel like I need more stats in my running life at this stage so will generally ignore cadence data for now 😁

6th
One hour of kettlebells in the snow and ice

[AJM]

Sharkathon Goals:
- Exercise every day, obviously
- Stretching every non climbing day
- Lots of push exercises to work on my lack of pushing ability.

21/12 - circa 3 mile walk, carrying child for half the time
22/12 - Fairlop boulders with Duncan
23/12 - about 55 pushups and 25 pull-ups on the edges on my portable fingerboard
24/12 - circa 1.5 mile walk carrying child, plus another 50 pushups or so
25/12 - short stretching session and hangs on the portable fingerboard
26/12 - more stretching, about 70 pushups
27/12 - about 20 dips in sets of 4 (I am weak at pushing!), plus good stretching session
28/12 - climbing at The Dug Out with Ally and Ross. A day of learning and being reminded of weaknesses!
29/12 - 30-40min walk carrying child
30/12 - stretching
31/12 - 10km walk pushing pram. Set a pocket circuit on the home board.

1/1 - promised afternoon sunshine never arrived, so it was low cloud, damp wind and high humidity at the New Cuttings. Spent some time working the project nevertheless, think I worked out some helpful microbeta.
2/1 - 30 mins park walk/jog with children; 25 dips in sets of 6-7; stretching
3/1 - family wall trip. Moderate amount of stuff done, bit of time on a fun project, one to come back to. Then later on some stretching and pushups.

4/1 - bit achey, back to work, quieter day: stretching and compression
5/1 - wall session. Ticked pocketed project from the 3rd. Finger a bit grumbly when crimping.
6/1 - 30 min walk and 20 dips around school drop off. In the evening, a short session of stretching and a few sets of pushups.

Hope she recovers fully and swiftly mate

Hour and a half dicking around on a 7A at Anston this morning. Felt like if I was fresh I'd have done it. Chunter chunter.

This evening did some core (3x 40 second L hangs, 6x3 slow bar lowers, 3x 5 ring rollouts which I've now learned to do properly, 3x 5 theraband twists) and pushing (3x 12 20kgs dumbbells bench press, 3x 12.5kg dumbbells OHP).

Training. Training never ends.

[James Malloch]

1. 3hr walk around Wansfell in the Lakes. Saw some feel ponies which was pretty cool.

2. 3hrs walk from Windermere to Ambleside.

3. 1.5hrs walk around Orrest head. The woods there has been decimated by the storms. It’s crazy how many trees were down. 2 hrs at the gym doing physio exercises once back home.

4. 30 mins Physio exercises and a walk/jog after work trying to fix my run (average cadence was 130, trying to up it to 180)

5th. An hour walk up the moor at lunch with the dog. 40 mins physio HIIT class after work. 40 min Walk/run with the dog after work - trying to increase cadence as part of my knee rehab. Going to have a short board session later - first in ages!

6. 2.5 hours out with the dog today. Felt bad as I’d do that most days so did 30 mins physio this evening.

Day 6

last chance of dry tarmac for a while, so I did 35 mins or so non-stop surfskate pumping and carving round Tesco park and ride before work - a bus driver commented "you're having a great time, aren't you?"

walked 10km at work

[Ross Barker]

Day 6
Some light fingerboarding and calf stretches.

Day 7

Two hours at The House, indoor skate park. Mix of bowl and half pipe. Plenty of rests. I'm not good enough to drop in, so all speed has to be created by my little legs.

[Fiend]

Day 7

40 mins / 1.8 mile kneehab walk. 50 mins easy elbow rehab / kneehab indoor bumbling. 10 mins stretching 

(Was able to up the indoor bumbling to ~V2 level and the circuits were mercifully more interesting than last time. Creeping my way back to that elusive 25% climbing strength / fitness)

[andy popp]

7: same as yesterday except now day 13 dry.

[battery]

Day 7 - school run x 2 with toddler on balance bike in tow, total time around 1hr 20.

Was planning a run but my body is screaming please God no and my cold is making me feel pretty shitty.

[andy popp]

I meant (but completely forgot) to say thank you for all of yesterday's kind notes. They were noted and very much appreciated.

[Yossarian]

5 - 7km beach walk
6 - 10km woods run / 2hrs wall
7 - 10km woods run / 45min stretching

[Wellsy]

[joel182]

Going for the Sharkathon and Dry January this year. Quick recap of the first week:

Day 1. Walk with the family
Day 2. Climbing at the wall
Day 3. Walk round the fields
Day 4. Short hangboard session
Day 5. Lattice conditioning workout
Day 6. Climbing at the wall
Day 7. Walk round the fields

Definitely getting out for more walks so far, which has been sorely needed. Will try to add some mobility work next week.

Beavertown's Lazer Crush was the non-alcohol drink highlight of the week, quite fruity & has that mouthfeel that seems characteristic of Beavertown drinks.
