The World’s Friendliest Climbing Gym

McBain’s Diary - The Exercise Blog


So as Christmas drew in closer and the holidays began I was given some heavy advice to up my training regime. As weeks 8-10 pass you usually slack off and plateau; however I devised a full proof plan to conquer this!
So I wrote myself what is known as the world’s most impossible training regime for the 10 day break I had. It goes a little something like this.

22.12

AM – EP session

PM – 3km run, 600m swim

23.12

AM – 1 hour upper body training

PM – 1 hour legs and core training

24.12

AM - 1 hour cardio and core training

PM – 600 swim

25.12

AM – 3km run, 600m swim

26.12

Day off (surfed in Byron)

27.12

Another day off (did a little surfing)

28.12

AM – 3km run, 600m swim

PM – 3km run

29.12

AM – 600m swim

PM – 30 minute core training

30.12

AM - 600m swim

31.12

AM – 600m swim

And that pretty much killed me…but it seemed it wasn’t enough. I think all the rich food and drink at Christmas unbalanced my work outs.

So now hitting week 11 and I’m trying to make up for lost time. I know I am in total plateau now but I’m trying to kick start my body and give it a shock. So back into my first EP session of the year, man Claire loves to see me suffer! But it’s all good and I’m feeling much better for it too! So got two weeks until my next testing, hoping for some improvement this time!
