In reply to Ally Smith:
Late stats
UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with (or without) it as a motivational tool for all.
Link to last week’s thread:

For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of
physical training articles are linked here:

The following training article by Alex Barrows gives an excellent breakdown on training the four main "energy systems" specific to climbing:

A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity. UKC fitclub is a rich community with posters sharing their goals, noting successes and failures and offering support to those struggling to maintain motivation.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome to join, but to get the most of UKC fit club 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 and drive you towards acheiving your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Psyche video of the week: - wow - look how fast Ondra climbs!
Dandan82; Good to hear that the elbow aches are abating – congrats on your anniversary
Nick Russell; great volume soloing on the grit, something I found really good for moving smoothly and covering big distances. Shame you didn’t stick it out and do more on the Sunday?
Biscuit; stick with the S&C stuff – neglecting this is a shortcut to injury for the desk bound. Did you pick a 7b+ project yet?
Spenser; Welcome! Core and fingerboarding will stand you in good stead once the ankle is mended. Good specific goals too.
AJM; Have a great trip. See you on the flip side – I hope Kalymnos has enough coffee stocked to get Ali out of bed at 6am for a week?
The Ex-Engineer; good lot of volume over the week, but the intensity looks all over the place. Aero-power is to be saved for the last few weeks before a trip/peak, not as part of base conditioning/aero-cap.
alexm198; welcome back. Congrats on the job – did you find a partner and get out this week?
Planetmarshall; good last couple of days and Kaly and some quarried grit classics. Resting or training this week?
Hms; close but no cigar at the weekend, but great to see you getting a high-point on CC. Can’t be long now?
Ian Bell; get your 4 planned sessions in this week?
Ally Smith; keep plugging away. Don’t forget the rehab, core and antag works. Repeat: stay off the cakes and don’t forget to bolt some newbies!
Joughton; low volume, high quality. More of the same this week?
Exile; good volume this week. Did you make the most of the weekend sunshine?
Richard Popp; did you find a partner for your week off?
Joyce; how did you get on at Almscliffe?
Mattrm; yet more DIY & dish-tucks! Have you seen any benefit from the core exercise?
Flopsicle; how’s the knee?
0.5viking; legs of jelly better this week?
Humperdink; Great comeback marathon from your wife. How is the longer daily run regime working out?
Just Tintin; skin trashed from 2 days on the grit? Have fun in Morocco
Absentees; Tyler; Mutl3y;
