1. Parkrun with brother-in-law this morn, good start to the year. Cleared out the remaining Christmas leftovers from the fridge, though still going on the homemade mince pies, too good not to.

Aim to start a week's trial at the independent crossfit-style gym my wife goes to, in the next day or so, with the aim of working on the gaps left by climbing and running and just feeling stronger/healthier overall.

2. 30 min rainy walk to nursery and back in the morning.
5k run loop to/from the gym (first time in about 20 years) this eve, had a good 1h strength training session. Keen to get stuck in over the next few weeks and see some progress. Mostly used light weights and focused on technique.

8. The normal 1h walk school/nursery run this morning, then 5k run to/from 1h strength training at gym.

9. Just the 1h walk this morning, though we were late so I was storming along with a double buggy incl. 40kg of children, which got the HR up.

[Fiend]

31/31 - 15+ mins elbow rehab, 30+ mins shoulder rehab, 30+ mins stretching. Low energy after yesterday's digestive blip, but this was actually quite a celebratory way to finish Shark Club as I actually made myself do a whole load of beneficial supportive / self-care stuff, on my own, at home, which is pretty much the crux for me 

[dunnyg]

31. Ten mins yoga and about 30 mins of Huffy’s elbow physio weights stuff!

That was a good Sharkathon!

31/31. Was good to see that most days it’s possible to fit in 30 mins of something. Even with nights and long days at work, can make something happen with a bit of planning. Less excuses this year!

Congrats Sharkathletes 

Sharing updates on here and reading other people's has definitely helped give me a kick up the arse, thank you. 31/31 and dry January, good start to the year and I intend to keep riding the wave (though the wave will get a bit wetter)

[nik at work]

30 - forgive me father for I have sinned… long busy day, none of it admissible as exercise.

31 - stretching session for about 40 mins during the day. 2 hours at the works in the evening.

30/31 so not a full success. But a month of pretty consistent stretching and I’m definitely feeling the benefit, no more flexible but certainly less general stiffness. Hoping to keep the SYKE to keep stretching. Who knows I may even develop a bit of flexibility at some point…

[SA Chris]

1 - glorious weather, long walk on the coast with the family. Sea wild, and spray lit by sun all the way up the coast.
2 - boulder session at Block 10. Pretty much all new since last visit in November (ish) so resisted the temptation to spend too long working anything. Good session, skin went about the same time as arms.
3 - quick wall hit before collecting daughter from diving. Pretty productive even with sore skin from day before. Sent prob I was working last go, and was only 5 mins late picking up. She's used to that.
4 - kettlebells must have been half an hour or so.
5 - kettlebells and some stretching
6 - wall session. Felt ok, ticked off new prob with toe hook start (I hate toe hooks) and finally did purple dyno, so they can now reset the 45 board as I've done all I can do on it.
7 - DIY and house sorting all bloody day. Didn't sit down except to have a shit until about 10 pm
8 - half hour intense weights and core at lunchtime. evening - intended run with mate, that soon became a walk as he pulled a muscle in his hamstring - 4km - 30 mins.
9 - lunchtime run became lunchtime walk after friend asked me to walk here dog as she was feeling ill. At least it was sunny. 4 km - 52 min. Went for a run in evening instead 8km - 44 mins. Damp cold.
10 - half hour beastmaker sesh at lunch. Walked to see friend in evening - 20 mins.
11 - Board session. Cold in garage, few nasty dry fires, ended up doing endurance instead of hard probs.
12 - lunch run - 12.5km
13 - wall session. Actually did some routes. 6a, 6a+ and 6b. More indoor leading this year than I've done in the last 3. Finished up bouldering a bit.
14 - walk with family, about an hour. Rest of day doing DIY, including first attempt at hanging a door. 90% successful
 15 - lunchtime run in the snow. vis ranging from about 20 km to about 20m. Glorious.
16th - lunchtime unsuccessful wander on nearby hills hoping to find enough snow to do a few turns on the snowboard. Not quite enough down, and a bit claggy. 45 min walk plus about 20m of descent. Kettlebells in evening. Started fingerboard session, but no motivation.
17th - 7.5 km lunchtime run in snow. Sunny and no wind. Glorious.
18th - 8km run in the snow, well mostly run. some wading through drifts at one point.
19th - a little bit of weights in the evening, probably scraped half an hour.
20th - wall session - bouldering, went OK.
21st - walk to father in law's house, about an hour in total
22nd - not much, a bit of stretching and S&C, a few pull ups and pushups. Probably not half an hour, I'll make up for it by skiing all day for 5 days later in the week.
23rd – packed, I think I did some kettlebells at some point
24th – flapped about like a headless chicken; car hassles and delayed flights! I walked laps of airport while waiting for flight, might have been half an hour but i doubt it.
25th – arrived in Geneva 12 hours alter than intended, collected hire car and 2 hr drive doubled due to farmers protesting in autoroute. Got to resort too late to do much, got 3 quick runs in on a borrowed pass - 40 mins skiing.
26th – day 2 ski -6 hours on the move – 38km skiing, 7639 descent, including 2000m in one run
27th – day 3 – 7:15 on the move – 55.5 km skiing, 10300m of descent
28th – day 4 – 7:34 on the move – 58 km skiing, 10800m of descent
29th – day 5 – 7 hrs on the move – 36 km of skiing, 6700m of descent including 2 off piste runs off shoulder of Bellecote
30th – day 6 (half day)- 3:15 on the move – 33km of snowboarding, 6000m of vert. Travelled home.
(Total of over 4 ½ Everests of descent)
31st – not a load – walked down to scouts, played dodgeball. Maybe 30 mins

[Mostly_Inanimate_Beans]

[spidermonkey09]

Thats January out of the way anyway...

[monkoffunk]

31. Ten mins yoga and about 30 mins of Huffy’s elbow physio weights stuff!

That was a good Sharkathon!

31/31. Was good to see that most days it’s possible to fit in 30 mins of something. Even with nights and long days at work, can make something happen with a bit of planning. Less excuses this year!

Oh yeah and final few things… Dry January complete, don’t miss it at all, so probably just keep on going for the moment barring special occasions. Weight started 86.1kg, 81.2kg today, so definitely a good start there, even if it’s still above my normal ‘do something about this’ weight!

[Stabbsy]

1 - 30 mins run, 6k
2 - 30 mins run, 6k (as above, but wetter)
3 - 50 mins run, 11k with 4 x 40 secs strides
4 - 30 mins run, 6k
5 - 50 mins fell run, 8k
6 - Depot , 2 hrs, mostly comp wall
7 - 2 hrs 30 fell run, 22k

Work deadlines have meant minimal climbing this week. Managed to stay off the booze so far.

8 - 25 mins run, 5k plus 1 hr walk for the school/nursery run at either end of the day
9 - 35 mins run, 6k plus 60 mins on the board (first session since I swapped the footholds, so repeating old problems)
10 - 50 mins run, 11k with 4 x 40 secs strides
11 - 30 mins run, 6k plus 2 hrs board in the evening (more repeats)
12 - 45 mins fell run, 8k plus 1 hr of walking for the school run
13 - 2 hrs 30 fell run, 24k (possible new fell race route from Hathersage called The Hibernator, good route but some bad line choices)
14 - 40 mins conditioning (pull-ups, hangs, TRX)

Still no booze.

15 - 50 mins fell run, 9k
16 - 2 hrs at Depot, new red circuit and a few board problems on the 30
17 - 55 mins run, 11k
18 - 45 mins fell run, 8k
19 - 90 mins board (more repeats) plus 25 mins run, 5k

23 - 90 mins Depot (new purples) and 30 mins run, 5k
24 - 40 mins run, 8k

26 - 1 hr fell run, 11k
27 - 3 hrs bouldering on the grit
28 - 2 hrs 15 fell run, 22k

Still off the booze, looking forward to a whisky on Thursday.

29 - 30 mins run, 6k
30 - 90 mins Depot, 30 mins fell run, 6k
31 - 1 hr 50 fell run, 17k

Stayed dry (tiramisu excepted), don’t really miss the beer but looking forward to a small whisky tonight. Weight still a bit higher than I’d like, both from a climbing and running perspective.

Finished the month with just short of 260k of running (160 miles-ish) over 24 hours of running - first time for over 12 months that I’ve felt like I could put some proper volume in since pre-COVID last December. Couple more months of that sort of load and I should be good for racing in May.

Not as much climbing as I’d have liked, but that’s normal for me in January. Need to start being a bit more focused now rather than just going to the wall and having fun.
