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.

Pebbles – More progress! Have a great time getting on 6bs at Kalymnos
Si dH – Good effort on the green circuit at the Station. About fingerboard periodisation I’m the wrong person to ask I’m afraid. I would be tempted to train all three every session. I don’t honestly think it will hold back your improvement on all three. Only thing I’d do is maybe not train pockets on consecutive days as I feel it is the tendons in the finger that need to recover.
Biscuit –You managed to fit a lot in a week. Great to hear that you need to make your board steeper
JimmyKay – Positive and varied week
Sankey – Good week
AJM – Sounds fun outdoors even you didn’t quite get the chance to push it.
Eagle River – Shame about the cold. Have a great time at Spain
Ally Smith – Not bad for first indoor routes in 6 months!
Steve John B – Lots of running there. Good luck with your target weight.
Grubes – Come on mate, let’s try hard/eat well again
Joughton – How did the comp go??
NMN – Good week
Mrchewey – Sounds like a good session, hope to see more like it. Back on the healthy eating I hope!
Annak – Welcome! Not bad for your first week posting. Good variety.
IainRUK – Awesome to read. Makes me think I could probably run a bit more without the excuse of overtraining.
Nomics4Sale – Don’t beat yourself up, just keep getting on 6c/7as
JKarran – Good to see you back. Looking forward to seeing you achieve your goals
Mattrm – Nice to see a bit of everything in one week
Oddtoast – Yep, well done not hiding away. You can still run as well as other things in the rain!
Alex@home – Welcome. Great to see you set out some goals and show a bit of drive from the outset. If you’ve mostly done trad, I’m sure a focus on sport will improve your trad grade in the long term.
Pork Pie Girl – Great week, doing something every day
Kevster – Sounds encouraging this week. Gad you feel confident on E2/3, hang on to that confidence and build on it each time you climb!
Richard Popp – Scary times, good to hear it’s ok. Smash out those last circuit sessions before Kaly!
Leon – Shame about the slack Monday, but the route reading stuff is at least as useful as physical training.
Rollo – nice variety
Ian Bell – Ouch Ian, bad news twice. My thoughts are with your friend.
Maria85 – I like your go for it attitude. Don’t worry too much about matching up to your goals. Build on your improvements and falling confidence. Enjoy the job and rest before hitting it hard again!
Ali – Wow, what a great trip. Congrats on your 6c onsights and 7a/+s. I love how the last day of the trip syndrome brings out something good!
