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.
Was quite restrained with food, though still working through sister-in-law's homemade Christmas cake.

3. Very wet 1h walk school/nursery run. 1h30 indoor boulder session.

4. 1h walk school/nursery run. 5k run loop to/from gym, 1h strength session. Really enjoyed.

5. Just the 1h school/nursery walk today. And currently doing a bit of stretching.

6. 15 min jog to gym then a 1h beasting. Loved it. Went for a coffee after and managed to avoid the pastries.

7. 1.5h trail run (10ish miles) along the coast from Clevedon to Portishead whilst daughter at ballet. One of those where it fitted in perfectly and felt like a win.

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.

10. Same again today, just the school run. Wife's birthday so no chance of an evening outing!

11. 2 x school run (2h brisk walking) then 1.5h bouldering at Bloc this eve. Had a whale of a time.

12. Just the school run 1h walk

13. Very gentle jog to parkrun then back, about 6 miles. Keeping my powder dry for a race tomorrow. Went out for dinner for wife's birthday, it was really nice and also managed to maintain dry January

23. 10 minutes stretching and rehab. 30 minutes death grip on dentist chair arms while having a filling pumped. Board 1 hour.

[slab_happy]

20. Tired tired tired. Half an hour of very slow yoga.

ETA: this is why trying to stick to training plans don't work for me. Why did I wake up extremely tired today? Who the fuck knows. Will I be this tired tomorrow? Who the fuck knows.

I solve this one by having extremely low thresholds for what counts as acceptable activity, working on the premise that anything is better than nothing, even if it’s a very tiny anything. I guess that doesn’t quite count as following a training plan!

Yeah, it's a very sound strategy! I aim for that, even when depression means I don't always make it (and am trying to get better at it currently).

The tricky thing I'm working on at the moment is how to take advantage of the times when I have more energy and get enough consistency that I can hopefully rebuild some strength, while having enough flexibility that I can adjust it around my wildly-fluctuating energy levels (and not overdo things and dig myself into a hole that way). Still figuring it out.

24 - the Works, fingers still feeling it from the weekend. Went round the rest of the wasp circuit, and revisited scenes of previous failure. Most problems done now, a couple that need finishing off but it’s all there… apart from the impossible one that I have not the faintest idea how to climb…
