sourpuss's training log

I hear flirting with babes is hard work.

Tonight should be good. I have a feeling I'm going to be the only one at the gym with my coach so we'll really get to focus on what I need to be working on.
I'll be there for two hours and I imagine he'll have me do some sprints and stair running and some abs. If not, I'll do those after we train. Probably spar and do some mitts.

I'll have a full report when I get back.

Bah! I feel a sore throat coming on. I will not get sick damnit.

Last night was a really good workout. Lots of sprints and intense bag drills. Worked with another guy in the there on trying to get inside and cut off the ring. I've always been taller than my opponents so this is proving to be a challenge.

Not sure what my coach has in mind for me tonight. I'll find out when I get there.

Good that you had a strong and technical work last night. Hope you don't get sick. I did nothing all day cept sit on my ass. Woke with a sinus headache and a little sun stroked from track meet yesterday, so that is 2 days off inna row. Plus Sunday.

How you running your sprints? I've never ran stairs. It looks hard though. I'm wondering if the benefits of it extend beyond cardio. I would imagine they would build the legs.

[sourpuss]

We do what we call 7 Ups. You do them with a partner (or more) Person #1 runs the length of the gym and back. (we run the width of the basketball court) Then person #2 runs down and back. Then #1 does 3, then #2 does #3. Then 5 then 7 then 5 then 3 then 1. So you are recovering while they are running.

I like running the stairs we usually do 3 minute rounds on the stairs mixed in with the other conditioning. They really work the legs and it gets your heart rate up, you should try them.

Yea i've seen people run them at the hockey rink, stairs. I'm guessing it would help build the legs. Leg strengthening is something I want to work into my next routine.

Okay sourpuss, where are the updates?

I demand updates. This is your ass chewing. Don't you be slacking on me now...

Hey, nice to meet another female out there!! Stair running is tough i remember i went to a comp and we were all 2kg over the weight. We were staying in a 12 floor hotel. We run up and down those 12 floors with so many layers on us we cudnt breathe for about 30 mins solid lol. Needless to say we all made the weight!

Welcome to the forum.

I love the quote in your sig, Bruce Lee is the man.

Well, looks like I have a bout on the 14th of February.
Bless the gal, she's lost to me 3 times already and she's about 6 inches shorter than me. But I'm very happy to get back in the ring again. A bout is a bout so I'll take what I can get.

The very best of luck with it.

I'm sure you'll do fine, but for safety think positive
