UKC Fit Club

Posted some goals to a UKC forum thread today, the aim of the thread is:

UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for a training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.

For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=274502
and here:http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,16421.msg287007/topicseen.html#new

A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.

Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.My goals are:

VSTG (1 week): Redpoint Consenting adults (7a), increase milage at wall (lead at least 10 routes persession, 3x6b,3x6b+, 2x6c, 2x6c+). Complete finger boad session

STG (3-6 weeks): consolidate HVS/E1 grade lead 20-30 routes. Tick at least 5x7a's while in El Chorro (10th-17th April)

MTG (6-12 weeks):     Headpoint 5xE4, onsight 20xE2/1, readpoint 4x7a/7a+.
LTG (12-24 weeks):   Onsight 20xE2/3, headpoint 10xE4 and 5xE5/6
VLTG (MAX 1 Year):  Onsight/Ground-up London Wall (E5 6b) at Milstone.

Hopefully by posting here, as well as writing the blog, it should help with both goal setting and achieveing those goals. Writing goals down, or making them public, can help to make them  more real. I've read some information on this from ideas based on NLP (neuro lingustic programming) as well as other areas so I'll try and put a post up about goal setting etc this week.
