Three In

Three sessions in one week, I can hardly believe it. There was a time a year ago now in the run up to my disasterous trip to Font that I was training 6 days a week. I pushed my body hard and it could handle it. Constant Beastmaking, Campussing and bouldering, it didn't matter what i threw at it - my body took it and got stronger, substantially stronger.

Now though things are different.

I managed three sessions last week and my body was broken, my forearms felt strained - a feeling I hadn't had since I first began climbing. There were some positives: I could still crank a one armer, but more importantly my fingers felt strong. I'd put so much time into my finger strength last year as it was the least strongest aspect of my climbing. It felt good to see that my fingers were still in good shape. It also felt good just to be back climbing and hanging out with mates. Today is the start of the regime proper, one month of fitness and conditioning before getting back into structured training.

I'm also going to be back blogging and am going to have a root through my video archive and see what I can dig up for your viewing pleasure, so keep 'em peeled.
