Sharkathon 2025

Day 20
Walked back from work 1 hour.
Short sleep to enable transition from nights to normal life.
An hour skating the bowl at The House. I had it to myself, which was just as well as I was fucking shit. Coordination, timing and strength were lacking. Got some decent height and speed at times. Bailed a couple of times due to failing to rotate properly. Obviously the board bit me.
It's a good thing that the tendon at the back of my heel isn't a weakness or vulnerability that could lead to failure or death

19 - 2 hours at the wall. Got warmed up and felt very uninspired and unmotivated, nearly just left but decided to give the boards a go and had an absolutely brilliant time trying hard on the 30 and 40 degree boards.

20 - body feels battered (in a good way) 2 school runs

20: Okay, its mainly just turning into stretchathon for me, but hopefully something I can carry on throughout the year!

 

[Wellsy]

21 - beefage from Sunday, just had a nice walk over lunch and some Yoga with Adriene. Very very gentle. Woke up on day 22 excited to get cracking at the wall/gym this evening!

21. 20 mins walk from the bus stop, 2 hours at the Works, mostly noodling around on the new yellows, microdose of fingerboarding.

20- Inspired by Wellsy I did supersets of bicep curls and shoulder press, 5 reps each with a 10kg weight, 5 sets. Felt pretty tired after that. Filled the time in between doing some stretching and then some back rehab at the end. Good to do something, felt better afterwards.
21- played squash in the evening. Hadn't met the guy before but had heard tell that he was a dickhead. This was completely factual. Had the match in the palm of my hand at 12-8 in the decider only to lose it 15-12. Gutted to let him off the hook, but I'll be gunning for him next time.

20. About 30 seconds of weights. Weakest day so far
21. Indoor bouldering. Need to get back on routes!

 

[Fiend]

20 - 32 problems at rockover bolton, lovely.
21 - 3 hours caving, grim.

 

[Duncan Disorderly]

21: 45mins on the Turbo - Sweaty!

 

[Wellsy]

21 - Edge lifting, just limited myself to 40kgs today, am going to do a progressive overload. Climbed, didn't feel mega energetic and also the Works was crazy busy but did do some hard-ish moves? Benched 77.5kgs for 6 sets of 6, then did 4 supersets of 8 x 10kg plate presses and 12 x 8kg chest flys. Then some 15kg dumbbell single-arm rows. Felt much better for working out at the end!

 

[battery]

21 - 30 minute walk and 2 and a half hours at the wall - monster session that I loved and I climbed pretty well.

22 - absolutely knackered! 1 X school run and some gentle stretching/rehab exercises.

22. Made it to the gym.

Day 22
I really really would have liked to skate or climb in the sunshine. There has been no sunshine and everything is wet.
Barely scraped a pass with 30 mins table tennis.
In better news, I also weighed myself and now have a BMI below 30. Goal for the month achieved.

 

[Fiend]

22 - rest, rehab, stretching - enough to count

 

[dunnyg]

22. Short run
