UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:
http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=274502
A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.

Mrchewey – Busy week. Sounds like you could lead 6as soon with a positive attitude.
Hokkyokusei – Good week. Did you decide on some new STGs?
Si_dH – 3 7As in a day, that’s great. Getting in lots of climbing before tying the knot.
Joughton – Liverpool is so steep isn’t it. Good luck in the comp, and you’re doing well to revise so early.
Nomics4sale – Wow, a great week. Keep up the psyche now. The positive attitude makes a huge difference. In the UK we’re so negative, making excuses before we leave the ground. I often try to copy the American attitude (or better still, Tim Emmett), Telling everyone that you’re gonna smash it and that you’ve never been so ready - quite funny but also effective :P
Grubes – 18months of work! That’s gotta taste good now.
Andy – Good distance
Eagle River – Sounds worthwhile despite the conditions. Such a different rock type has got to be refreshing for your technique.
Richardh – Quiet week. Hoping to hear of some more onsight 7s soon!
AJM – You have good days and bad days all the time eh. Well done on the mass of 7a ticks.
Mark Torrance – Very nice looking fortnight. What are the numbers in [ ]? Resting Pulse?
Murd – Hope you’re having an awesome time.
Mattrm – Good luck but don’t make your injury worse.
Biscuit – Shame about the weather.
Eric9Points – Take it easy
Samoflak – Good week, hope you climb some high 7s in El Chorro
Chris05 – Good running. Keep us posted on the OAP progression.
Laim M – How quick to you hope to run Leeds Half?
Gordy B – Not bad at all. You won’t be getting any worse at that intensity.
Ian Bell – Good luck in Portland.
Leon – stay patient. But there are many E2s that won’t put a lot of strain on your elbow :P
Kevster – Exciting times. Whichever you choose it sounds like you’ll get a lot of achieving done!
Ali – You’re doing lots of both. Still, you could climb when you’re not running. You’ll be tired from the run, but you’d still get training benefit from both.
IainRUK – Cracking effort in those conditions. All the best with your foot recovery.
NMN – Welcome to fit club. Hope you manage to climb as well.
Quiddity – Flipping heck, well done and what a great week.
Candygirl – Never mind. We’ll tear it down at the works today and you can tick everything you fell off before.
Kgustaffson – 8a would be very cool
Ayuplass – Well done on the race and your proud title in the World Champs. Did a bit of Googling/youtubing and looks a bit mental!
Just don’t get injured for Pete’s sake!
Richard Popp – Good work. Take care
Stone_Donkey – Nice that you got outdoors. Think about Ondra’s advise “never say take” before a route/let your partner know your ballsy intentions just before you set off. I find it helps.
