Day 37

Took a couple of hours out today to visit Ivybridge, and at the right time too! I finished a route through the estate just as it began to pour!

I spent 45mins/1 hour at one spot training wall runs and precisions.
The first part of the spot had a progressive wall, pictured below, which made use of varying degrees of pop ups, foot work and climbing ability. Made a booboo on my thumb trying to lazy vault back over the smaller drop but nothing a plaster didn't fix.
I did a lot of precision work on the stairs. Mad a standing jump to the third step [good benchmark] and a stride up to the fifth [both legs; yay for training ambidextrously!]. Nice area.

The rest of my time in the estate consisted of 'Lava'* and doing a few running routes through the estate.
I suppose doing the actual practice of an entire route, A-B, is something I don't practice enough. So today can be the start of that!

Finished up with a warrior cycle in a hailstorm and then a weighted cycle home [12.6KG in turkey from Asda]

Location
Ivybridge Estate

Experience
Starting to enjoy training outdoors less and less. Cold weather makes for bleary eyes and chickening out on jumps. More thorough warm-ups are probably useful now, and active rest to keep body temperature up so that muscles and joints don't stiffen is all necessary from now on.
The hail cycle was like pins getting stuck in my arms, and the weighted cycle was awesome but funny.

PICS!

*'Lava' is the game of 'Don't touch the ground'. Play it. It's amazing.
