UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with (or without) it as a motivational tool for all.

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 achieving your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Psyche video of the week: I didn’t see any lately. Some recommendations?
Dandan82: Do you already have a result from the scan? If so, any wiser about what is causing the pain? Maybe the way you sleep influences the feeling the day after, when I had elbow pain, it was always worse if I had slept with bent arms.
The Ex-Engineer: Looks like a good outdoor session with a 7a onsight and 7b second go! Did you get to climb outside again this week? If so, was it just as successful?
Robin Brooke: That looks like a good week and some nice variation in route types! Did you have any progress on the projects? Hope your girlfriend will recover well!
AJM: That are some nice goals for the bouldering trips, especially at different venues/rock types. Did you got back to training this week?
Hms: Bummer that you were still struggling with post Chulilla cold. Felt better this week and got anything done?
James Moyle: I think it might even be a good choice to not have done it this year with the 150 years since the first ascent. Probably a lot quieter next year. Congrats on the 6C slab! Did you manage to do some stamina training this week?
Mattrm: Good to hear things are improving! Did you climb this week?
0.5viking: get on the slab next week!
Flopsicle: Sounds like a though week. Did things were little easier this week? And did you start the stretching routine?
TonyB: Congrats with the pullup PB! How is/was El Chorro? Managed to tick some of your goals?
Ian Bell: Good you’re taking your recovery serious and hopefully it will pay off. Did you managed to swim some more? And got your one climbing session done?
Ally Smith: I think I got a bit lost in translation there as I was trying to complement you on trying to do an 8b onsight
. Good to hear you’re stoked for your next trip. Managed to do some good preparation for the trip this week?
Biscuit: Bummer you got food poisoning in the last days. Did you feel better this week? How was the coaching session? Do you already have results?
Tyler: Good that despite not being happy with performance your psyche is still high! Got back to training this week?
Stevemarkperry: Sounds sensible to not state goals if that puts you away from having fun. In my experience you’ll progress the most when having fun. When you’re doing the hillwalking are you taking a heavy bag to train for Scotland or isn’t a heavy bag a problem for you?
Nick Russell: How was this weeks training after having recovered from the jetlag (I assume)? Managed to get your psyche back? Is it just bouldering psyche or also routes?
Spenser: Your rock overs will come back, try not to be too bothered about it! Enjoy your time in Geyikbayiri, heard a lot of good stories from friends who visited. How is it there? Managed to do some climbing?
Humperdink: Thanks! I did celebrate with a 4 hour bouldering session and a huge bowl of ice-cream. Congratulations on the third place and on your wife’s second place, fast couple
! Good luck today! Did you manage to get sub 31?
Just Tintin: Sounds familiar (although I have my group 2 hours a week). Did you recover from the lurgy and got back training? When is your Mallorca trip? If you’ve already left, enjoy your time there!
Hokkyokusei: Bummer you had a chest infection and couldn’t run. Did you feel better this week and managed some running? 30 km a week sounds like a good target!
Joyce: Congrats on the 7A flash! Looks like you’re back on the intensity after having a cold! Did you do some more of the orange circuit this week? If so, how many to go before ticking them all?
AWOL: Richard Popp, Exile.
