-1 x 2min round; heavy bag combinations and speed.

Shadowboxing;

Anaerobic;
-3 x 100m Sprints with a partner.
Won 2 lost one (becasue he got ahead and wouldn't let me pass.)
-Calf raises.

Defense work;
-4 x 2 minute rounds; Weaving under rope throwing combinations each side, moving forward & back.

Sparring;
-3 x 2 min rounds; with the same southpaw, I boxed in reverse as I usually do with Southpaws, found that inefffective so moved forward. Lande a fair few grazing blows. Movement and defense sharpening. Pretty reserved spar, but happy nonetheless.
Afterwards felt like vomiting, but because of health rather than exertion.

Bagwork;
-1 x 3 minute round on the heavybag. Hard punching, flurries.

Stretching and Cooldown.

Training went well last night.

Did it at a really high pace and was pumping air after a while.

During the spar session I was sparring Jim, who's got three inches on me, orthodox, power but poor technique.
I started to tire, was getting clipped....needed a break
I jabbed twice, turned and jab straight uppercut to the body....down goes Jimmy and I get a nice two minute break.
Kept the activity high.
Sparred the novice. He actually stopped hitting my guard. He said "aren't you hurt" looking to grab a break, I shook my head and smiled, I plowed into him with my guard up, backing him up. Threw only three shots and he tumbled each time.
Pat of course was a different story. We traded counters, he landed some picture perfect shots to the chin, I set up by crossing to his body, but failed to hook to his head. We made it a messt spar, but I was delighted with it.

Afterward myself and pat went on the mats, practisingf takedowns, sprawling and defence. 5 minutes of defending from him had me well tired and perspiring, but it was brilliant fun!

This morning I'm sore from sprints and mat work, my thighs are stiff and sore, so I regard last night as an excellent success.

Dude the fact you're making little goals and achieving them is something to be proud of. You're extremely deicated and its really good to see. Using the boards to post your training schedules is good for your diary, but its also good for us as we can see exactly what an amateur goes through. I truly hope you make it. You're one of the best posters on here. You never try to piss anyone off, always knowledgable and come across as a very honest person. All the best for it, and I will come and see you fight one day.

Repped.

I've got a little vid of me and mate play sparring here. It was'nt perfect, I was just back from the sore shoulder and some of my technique suffered, but this hould give you the idea of what I spar like;
