Oddtoast – have we lost you?
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.

Biscuit – It’s a hard life training in the sun… Not a bad week there
NMN – nice to see you climbing a bit
Nomics4Sale – good week, hope your fingers get better, swollen fingers sound bad…
Sankey – Go climbing more!
Eagle River – Trying hard things is fun! Hope you make some visible improvements soon.
Joughton – Always good to identify weaknesses to train. Cracking effort on Wee Doris!
Exile – Not bad for a resty week.
AJM – Some good PE there. Interested to see how the phase goes.
Maria85 – good discipline with the weekly goals. And Climbing is definitely better than pizza.
Mrchewey – Contrasting experiences with Gogarth and Slate. Both very good achievements. 7a would be a good goal for next year!
Ali – City orienteering sounds great fun. Good week plan, did you stick to it?
Jimmykay – I guess you’re experiencing the limitations that real work puts on your climbing? Still enough sessions there to avoid detraining. Jealous of Spain…
Si_dH – We should bump into each other at the Station soon. Just had another glance at your LTGs – E4 OS should be a MTG at least for a fit route climber like yourself!
pebbles – Good work on Bond St, lot’s of technique involved on that one. Keep doing Couchto5K!
IanRUK – Solid
Rollo – Hopefully we’re all getting over our bugs now.
Annak – Wow you must be super motivated at the moment to fit all that in. And what better place to start outdoor sport!
Mattrm – so much DIY! It’s hard to stay motivated during these dark winter days but 6c by spring is a positive thing to aim for.
Grubes – Comps are never perfect, you always come away frustrated at a few mistakes, but that gives you a great tool to think back on what you can do differently in the future. Oh and by the way, making a video about climbing doesn’t count as training :P
Seankenny – Feeling better? Good week. Hope the bodyfat results aren’t a one off!
Curious – Good to see you back. Fit enough to up the intensity again?
Richard Popp – Agree with AJM and Biscuit on the pyramids. Re fingerboarding, don’t stop feel the need to stop at three sets of repeaters, you can do several sets on different grips, easily reaching 30min of effort.
Ian Bell – Looks like a good longcast. Work hard for the 7bs in march.
Ting – Yes I was parading … were you? I find features only routes really useful, and even better at a new wall.
