Someone should smack that Chris fellow. Don't care how nice he is, anyone who can do 15 on the beep test can bite me.

Good luck with the ACL and the training.

Thanks Youngblood.

Scary thing was, it was a LAZY 15. He didn't even look to be struggling that bad when he bailed - I think he just stopped coz he was the only one still going and felt a bit self conscious. This guy was also the only guy to max out the push up test at 57.

MACHINE. Think he comes from an Aussie Rules football background and those guys are fit as fuck...

Tue 13/1/09

AM

2km walk (had to get car's air conditioning fixed and walked home)
1x 50 push ups
1x 50 crunches
1x 50 leg raises
2x 2 minute rounds shadow boxing, not even throwing a whole lot, just trying to get the feet moving.

Evening at Gym

2x 2min rounds skipping

Good stretch

2.5km run. Didn't time it, but I was sweating pretty good after it.
1x 10 push ups
2x 20 push ups
2x 2min rounds medicine ball with partner (putting it into the abs, pretty gently)
2x 3min rounds of 2kg hand weight exercises (constantly doing some kind of arm work for the whole 3)

3x 10 push ups with a partner holding your feet at his chest so you've got to work harder
2x 2minute heavy bag rounds
4x 1 minute partner work (shoulder sparring, speed sparring, continous 3 punch combos, light sparring)

4x 100 metres sprints - was well hammered by this stage, so the last couple were a pretty sad looking jog

Wed 14/1/09

AM - not much

Short walk while pushing my niece in the pram. I know it's not technically exercise but I'm sure I burnt a few calories babysitting today. She's 13 months old and she reminds of Pac-Man or a young Tyson - perpetual motion.


Evening - Gym

Good stretch

2.7 km run in 11mins 58secs. Blowing pretty hard after it, finished 14th out of 21 guys in the gym. Top guy got 8.36 - Yep, that's Chris the 15 in the beep test guy...

3x 1 min rounds of fast feet step ups.
8x 2 min rounds of focus pads working on slips and different combinations/counters. You work with a partner and swap each round so a new guy is doing the mitts, so technically I only punched 4 rounds, but moving around with the pads is good too.

4x 2 minute rounds of light sparring.


Feeling cleansed and good. Definitely feel my fitness levels increasing because I'm off the piss. The first lap (we go round the block three times for the run) I was last in the run, but I just maintained my pace and focused on catching a couple of guys each lap and by the end I had overtaken a few guys, most of whom I have a good few years on (I'll be 31 next month)

Weight is around 73kg. Normally in training I'm round 70-71, but I'm still taking the xmas/new year pud and pints off.

Knee felt great tonight too - no stiffness after the run or the step-ups.
