~Training plan~

Booked a trip to terradets this easter, it's only for a week so I need to make sure I'm totally ready - I wanted to perfect my onsighting skills as this seems to be a cool thing to do at the moment, but looking at the topo, I'll need to pull out all the stops just to onsight the warm which boost tells me is 7b.

Diet: I'm one of the lucky ones in that i eat a load of shit and dont put on much weight, nonetheless I should be careful. I counted the Kcals today and I'm on 2400 so far but I'm going to top that with a Indian later on. I'm sure there's room for impovement here and I'm going to see if i can crank it up a notch over the few weeks. I figure I'm going to eat a lot of shit whilst on holiday, maybe even some beer - so am bound to put on a few kgs. If I'm 60kg and go up to say 63 - thats a 5% increase, my peformance will suffer. However, if i get up to say 100kg, that same 3kg increase is only now 3% and much more managable.

Gym: I'm hoping to be down the gym a lot. The plan is to maybe do a few lengths, nothing too strenuous, then head for the sauna. I really suffer in the heat and tire easily. I'm going to try and structure this as best I can, aim for 15mins on the top seat, 10mins on the middle then 5 on the lowest, go for a drink of water and repeat. This should help me get used to the heat. The reason I do a few lengths is so I don't look like an idiot.

Pumped: Got this covered aswell. I always get pumped on just about every route ever so nothing I can do about this, I'm pretty good a shouting "take", so no problems here.

Sore Shoulder: My shoulder is a bit sore, I think this could be arthritis so a few oily fish and I'll be ok. As a back up I'm going to be working on my one-handed skills.

Shiggading.

Peak trip number 4 (i think)

Went to the Peak this weekend past, on the back of a surge of psyche which set me back £63 in train tickets but the wave of keenness could not be damped. haha.



I think I can't be arsed with the 6 o'clock news style blog (this is what I did, here's a pic, it was quite good...) look at Danny's flickr for some pics. So here we go, not with the events but with the emotional development including a lack of vocabulary and spelling... Blogs are ace, eh?



Sigh.....
