7 - Run to wall (4km). 2 hours at the wall. Run home via 'scenic' route along canal (6.3km).

Must have a good running pack, to fit 3 pairs of shoes, chalk, coffee mug, brushes. etc etc.

A battered old alpkit gourdon with a broken chest strap. Shoe collection and coffee mug get left at home. It does work surprisingly well with a 40m rope, harness, shoes (1 pair), water bottle, chalk and change of clothes. Bit of a squeeze getting everything in but is fine on the run.

[SA Chris]

Good job. I ran to work once with an old laptop in mine, having forgotten to leave it in the office. Was actually OK when cinched up tight.

Day 9 PM - 1.5hrs on the bike in hail, wind and rain... Pretty slow pace as not been out for a while (14mph avg) but covered some decent ascent... Fucking plagued by homicidal drivers though, felt like I was taking my life in my hands!

[battery]

Day 10 - 1hr 10mins hour of walking - with a toddler on a balance bike so felt more like 3hrs and my back is ruined! 

[andy popp]

1 x 30 crunches, 2 x 1.00 plank. Was very surprised to make it to 1.00 on the second one. Could have gone longer on the first, but would have been ruined. Felt a twinge in my left shoulder yesterday and am very conscious I have to be able to carry on doing plenty of lifting so switched to "standing push-up" (is that a thing? Hands on kitchen unit, feet a metre+ or so out, do push-up movement. Super easy but doing something if you do enough, especially if you're as unfit as I am). Day 16 dry.

Standing push ups absolutely a thing and are used as training in their own right but also a useful progression for full push ups before chairs, the stairs then finally the floor.

Day 10 - 1hr 10mins hour of kneehab walking (3.8 miles), 30 mins of isometric dumbbell holds / IYTs / stretches for upper body rehab. 2 x 2:30 planks. Abs like a fucking greek god afterwards - a greek god who will have to shit standing up tomorrow because the doms will be so bad if he goes to bog he'll never get stood up again.


(Knee a bit tender after wall / gym so normal walk seemed best. Trying to sort things out with more of a focus on rehab. Shirt OFF / gabber ON seemed to help a lot with planks, as it done with most things. Still couldn't do indoor 7b+ if I was tied to 6 auto-belays at once. )

Like Bacchus maybe

[Fiend]

  Like that but with a 6 pack made of 500ml Tyskie bottles.

The doms have already started, I'm scared of what waking up tomorrow is going to feel like.

[Wellsy]

Hour and a bit of gentle circuits, bicep curls (3 x 10 per arm, 15kg dumbbells) and rows (3 x 10 per arm, 17.5kg dumbbells). 3 x 5 ring rollouts.

[webbo]

Day. 10. 30 mins stretching and 1 x 3 min plank. Cycling 1 hr 2 mins 17 miles. Also dusted, vacuumed and mopped the floors, took about 90 minutes. Still got a bollocking for missing bits.

For a thorough job I recommend listening to the above on loop whilst you clean next time. Bon chance.

Day 10
Bit of speedwalking around town. Intended on more but was beaten by fatigue.

[SA Chris]

10 - 8.5 km run, felt yesterday in the legs. Entered into plankathon with a surprising 1 x 2:00, although I was shaking like a shitting dog at the end. Some hip / glute theraband exercises in front of telly and a bit of kettlebells.

[Duncan Disorderly]

10: 1:45 @ AW - 1000m on rowing machine... 5 x Fast pullups x 2... 3 x 4 routes up to F6b+ on autobelays (actually tried a F7a twice during these too but got spanked at about 10m!) 7 mins rest between sets... Close to vomiting on last rep... Easy climbing and shoulder conditioning to cool down...

[lagerstarfish]

for those unable to do a 30 min plank, there is always some aspect of technique that can be practiced in the house

[SA Chris]

I find having my heels against a wall makes it easier? No idea why!

Day 11

Headed out to see if mother cap or owler tor might have some dry rock for me. Got to surprise view parking and realised that the answer was probably "no".
Did a few lengths of the damp, gravelly carpark on a surfskate to get warmed up. Somewhat restrained due to fear of skidding.


Headed up to the rocks and confirmed that they were not suitable for climbing. Did some litter picking instead. Did about 30 mins of surfskating in the carpark.

Increased stability. One less degree of freedom, and reduced wobble side to side too. Plank Dab, back around 

[SA Chris]

sorry, I never saw the international planking rules that say heels must be free. Is that on a par with chalk or kneepads?

[andy popp]

Same as yesterday except - hold on to your hats - one of the planks was 1.05!!!! Watch out Duma.

Will video evidence be required for proof before the end of the month.
