T'is the season to huff and puff and raise my general fitness levels.
We started off with a team fitness tests to get a bench mark of where we are starting from. Later in the year we will revisit the tests to see how we are getting on.
Since then, training consists typically of high volume, mixed intensity training with relation to climbing, not trying to necessarily pull hard. Even some routes!! Also general fitness with more cross training. Mostly running and skipping for me, along with weights and exercise circuits for general conditioning.
Why? Because it prepares my body for strength and high intensity training, reducing the risk of injury hopefully.
How does this make me feel? Good, but hungry for the challenging blocs (and things like cheese and big piles of risotto and toast and snacks ....)
