It’s supposed to help with the muscles needed for skiing. But really it’s just pure pain.

It’s supposed to help with the muscles needed for skiing.

That was when I was first introduced to it. Might do a few in anticipation of Macron's announcement.

One of my dailies is an L sit (of sorts) in the corner of the worktop units while the kettle boils.

Day 12 Couple of hours down Dow cave.

[James Malloch]

12. Board session - good vibes tonight

[battery]

12 - karma for saying yesterday was busy at work was getting even more slammed today but did manage a total of about 1hr30 walking between meetings and I got sucked into the plankathon out of curiosity and boshed out 2 x 1.10 - a PB by a long shot.

[Fultonius]

2 days rest and today was some serious barely scraping...

40m ladder down climb (wind turbine lift cable got snagged).

3km run with 5kg pack (after dropping work van off).

1min20s extended plank like this:

12: Shoulder conditioning, 3000m on rowing machine, 5 x fast pulls, 2 x circuits up to V2, 15mins on XClimb board @ vertical, shoulder conditioning.

[Duma]

13 - few sun prayers in the morning as feeling pretty stiff from yesterday on the moor. 8km run. 2 x 1:30 plank (just as the 1:20 starts to feel bearable, it ratchets up again!)

13. 1 hour pressurised oxygen suppository. 40 mins / 2 mile slightly uphill walk. 1 hour V1-V3½ bouldering, 15-20 problems. 2 x 30 seconds air plank, toes on ground, elbows off ground 

(Oxygen saturation definitely gave me a solid 0.0% improvement in my ability to walk up gentle hills.... I might have done one or two problems at the wall that were bordering on fun, although had to back off a few due to dynamic moves too. Knee quite tender at the wall due to more diverse movements - still VERY limiting though - and of course golfer's elbow still tender despite the relatively very low intensity. Tennis elbow niggles actually felt much better at least!!)

I can do better....  Might need to video it haha.

[andy popp]

Same as yesterday, except one day extra.

[webbo]

One hour plus cleaning shit off the bike from yesterdays ride. However I suspect this doesn’t count. So walk 6 miles 1 hr 45 mins.
Knackered.

Day 13

35 mins cycle commute
12km walking
many joints hurt

feeling tired for no good reason

[battery]

13 - school run and other bits of walking but managed a sneaky hour at the crag this afternoon 

[SA Chris]

pushups on and off through the day 3 x 10.

8km run in evening, felt no love today, tired.

Had pfizer booster at walk in in prep for heading to France on Wednesday.....

[Wellsy]

Wednesday went out and tried a few nice problems. Did a couple of easier ones and then tried a high 6B, the bouldering was fine, the top out at about a font 3-4 move on a small right toe sketched me out. My headgame is much improved of late (not that I'm remotely bold really) but dark + cold + achey + sketchy move to an unpleasant looking traverse and downclimb = not wanting it enough. A little disappointed in myself but I am self-aware on this front and I have got better in the last 12 months. Efforts continue.

Yesterday felt exhausted. Walk and stretching. Ankle mobility most days at the moment.

10 Reconnoitring Etxauri in rain. Optimistically took gear which stayed in the sac. Highlight was watching the Griffin Vultures

11 Rain abated in the afternoon and got a good few hours in at the crag. Felt broken at the end

12 Three hour walk into and around Pamplona and back. Bit disappointed with the city TBA

13 Lovely day at the crag getting spanked again

[Duncan Disorderly]

13: 40 mins with hound... Must try harder today!

Sharkathon


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.
7/1 - attempts at shoulder shrugs in various permutations, then aerocap on the board.
8/1 - light wall session, focused on some different angles etc, nothing too hard
9/1 - outdoor bouldering, Portland

10/1 - stretching
11/1 - unstructured stretching plus 3 sets each of shoulder press and squat with 26kg
12/1 - indoor wall
13/1 - decent session of pushing and stretching in the evening

14/1 - 1 hour / 2.5 miles kneehab walking. Lots of IYTs. 1 x 3.15 plank owww. 

(Knee feeling generally tender, both the injury site and surrounding over-worked muscles, so kept it gentle today)

[andy popp]

2 x 1.15 planks. I'm upping my game, but still getting hammered in the plankathon.

The other stuff too.

[battery]

14 lots and lots of walking / running / swimming with / after a toddler. Feeling knackered today.
