climbing 45:00 [1]
First outdoor climbing in years! Very very VERY VERY rusty, but good - Threlkeld Quarry with Dad, neither of us had ever been there before. Only had time for 3 routes. Low grades but found it tricky as not used to rock any more - also think they were made harder as soon of the good holds were covered in slimy wet bits so had to avoid them! But will deffo go back.
9 PM
Stretching (Rehab) 40:00 [0]
Lots of stretching and rolling again. Didn't do the exercises as want to recover properly from yesterday as think I may have done too much with my mad exercise sesh and run. Did some ankle circling in the stretching instead to keep things activated.

3 PM
Running (Rehab) 8:08 [2] 1.61 km (5:03 / km)
Jog around the playing fields to test out the foot. Wasn't expecting too much as had just done the exercises so probably aggrivated a little already, so pleased to do 8 mins.
4 PM
Stretching (Rehab) 30:00 [0]
Foot ice bath then a proper warm bath, then 30mins stretching then lots of rolling - painful. Also got a hockey ball and rolled it around in my back and the horrible knot on the right.
All feels a lot better now but still feels like there is something tight all the way up my right hand side.
Tried to book a sports massage with Liz Hunter but all booked up in the next 3 weeks?! :(

Running 7:30 [2]
ISLE OF MAN!
It was the 10km today so did a short jog while people were warming up to test out the foot. It was ok! Not hurting significantly throughout the whole thing, probably could have ran a little longer but didn't want to push it.

Strength and Conditioning (Body pump) 50:00 [3]
Haven't been to body pump since last academic year! But needed to do something hard but not as sweaty as spinning, and that wouldn't hurt my foot.
Forgot how hard body pump is! Legs absolutely died on the squats. Found it kind of boring though, not sure I'm a fan any more at all.

(injured)
Foot hurting this morning, although just about fine now I think. Annoying though, just from an 8 min jog? Foot needs to just pipe down and stop being so moody.

Running 8:00 [3]
Literally just jogged down into town a bit and back round to see how my foot was. Hurt after about 5 mins I reckon although didn't have a watch, so jogged back.

Cycling 30:00 [2]
Not actual training really, just sitting on a bike on a turbo in the Union helping raise money for Mind and awareness of Bike to Berlin in JUne. :) Easy peasy but v.v.v sweaty

Went to the dentist joking about how it might get pulled out - AND IT DID?!!! And he said I can't exercise for two days at it might stop the process of healing properly. :'(
9 AM
Strength and Conditioning (Gym) 30:00 [4]
Was planning on doing chest and tri's but ended up just doing a few chest and then SQUATS because can't got to S&C on Wednesday.
Felt really strong?!
Did 6 x 40kg, 45kg, 50kg, 55kg, then 60kg.
So basically my 3 rep max is wrong, because I only managed to do 60kg for 3 two weeks ago, and now I am totally fine doing 6 ha. Ah well!
Really fun, then did some core :)

Perfect cycling weather! Really warm, sunny and no wind! Amazing. Although really wasn't feeling a bike ride, have so much to do. :(( But did enjoy it in the end. :)

Strength and Conditioning (Climbing) 30:00 [3]
BOULDERING! First ever purely just bouldering sesh at the Lab. FUN! Although not enough time. Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but really really good. Was being a bit wimpy but oh well, just need to do more.

slept:8.0
Really good session - Georgie told me that the GOGA instructer on a Friday made it tough, and it was pretty hard but still managable to be in the top end of the gears so really good! Will deffo go back to this one.
Exhausted now though, really need to catch up on sleep properly.

(rest day)
Had a deadline in so had a mad day and not much sleep. Was going to go spinning but thought it was probably a bad idea as exhausted, going tomorrow instead.

Strength and Conditioning (XC training) 30:00 [3]
Warm up, then hundle jumps, 4 sets of 6 squats of increasing weight (35, 40, 45, 50). Razer curls (hamstrings - 3 x 8 reps), hip thrusts (50kg, 3x8).... and then ran out of time so will do the rest later!

Cycling (Keiser cycle/spinning) 25:00 [3]
Bossed life and finished my assignment two hours early so I could go spinning.
Went back to a class with the same instructor who I used to go with last year hoping it would be harder - again way easier than normal?! So was wondering whether I am just way fitter/better at cycling so felt really pleased with myself, then I asked her after and she said there were new bikes with smalller gear changes, so nope, probably not THAT much fitter - ah well! It was fun at least and didn't exhaust me for the rest of the day which is good as I have so much to do!

Yoga 40:00 [2]
Really good to go back to yoga today! Really fun and felt stronger than before in the arms and core - gym works!
Need to not overdo it in the next few weeks as have a million deadlines.

Cycling long (Bike to Berlin training) 3:45:00 [3] 45.37 mi (4:58 / mi) +648m 4:45 / mi
Really good ride, just the four of us and kept up a good pace on around 16mph on the flat and 10mph hills - not sure of the time as can't seem to work the garmin and view the route. Also not convinced that it was only 648 metres of climb?! Deffo much more. But GOOD, legs tired though and hips need a stretch out!

Running 27:58 [3] 5.13 km (5:27 / km) +61m 5:09 / km
Rubbish run, foot hurt within a few hundred metres. But wiggled it around a bit and the pain stopped, but started again about 10s after running and built up until I wiggled it again.
Thought I'd keep going to see if it eased off once warmed up and it didn't but just changed a bit i.e. the pain spread out a bit instead of being in one specific place. When running up the steps my shin hurt a bit as well... weird. And very annoying.

Was going to try out my foot today but did insanity on it yesterday so will try a run tomorrow. It felt fine in insanity even through all of the jumping/burpees/hops etc... so that's good, although I think it really is just the motion of running that gets it. But we'll see, hopefully it will do alright tomorrow now I've done some good stretching sesh's this week.
5 PM
Cycling (Keiser cycle/spinning) 25:00 [3]
Cycling 15:00 [4]
Spinning! So sweaty. But not as bad as normal, had a different instructer who made it really really easy in comparison to the ones I normally go to - had to add about 3 gears to what she said to make it worth it!
A bit annoying seeing as I'd missed yesterday because I wanted a harder session, and then it was easy(er) anyway. However probably a good thing as the first one I've been to for months, plus I have loads of work to do so needed to still have energy after (which I DID!).

Circuits (Insanity) 30:00 [3]
So basically I was going to go spinning, and thought it was with this lady I've had before who was really good. Then got in there and realised it was an instructer who made it really easy and I really hadn't liked! So I went to Insanity instead... felt a bit bad but a v. good decision, so fun (also foot felt fine) - and spinning hadn't been booked up so at least I didn't take someone elses place :)
