Welcome to my training page. Im doing this mainly to keep a record of what iv done through the year and hopefully years to come. So i know where im up to and what works and what doesnt! Also going to post any relevant info i come across. Im a novice and Im far from an expert but i hope one day to become qualified and be an expert in the mean time hope it helps people.

Wednesday Conditioning
Todays the day i normally do interval work. I did but i also did a circuit today. Dont really know why, just didnt fancy running on the treadmill so did the versa climber instead for 5 mins at a time (set on Champion mode, last time it was contender or something, level 4 anyways ). It was good but feeling knackered now and not looking forward to a long train journey tonight and course all day tomorrow!

Finished Up with 10 mins Skipping and my cool down and stretches. Felt really good today. Unfortunately i dont feel my best this afternoon. I can feel myself getting fitter and stronger again and its only really 2nd week of proper work. Think i just need to make things interesting again and not get tired of the same routine. If work allows it i really want to get back to monday night bootcamps and also boxing.
Iv not boxed now for probably over a year due to shoulder injury. Its feeling the best its ever felt and i think its ready to try again! Only problem is having the time to do it properly, anything is better than nothing just know once im into it ill want to go the whole way and start training for a fight again! I know it will give my training that extra meaning iv been lacking.
If my shoulder doesnt hold up to boxing i want to do something competitive. Its hard to keep training and pushing yourself without a greater goal or purpose! My training is to improve athletic performance but its not the same when you have not got some sort of testing ground!
Any ideas on sports i could take up?
