I used to come only on Saturdays and do stuff by myself during the week except for one PT session with Fiona. But I got to the stage where I felt I wasn't improving. So for the past 4 wks (or about that) I have made the effort to fit in Tues and Thurs 6am sessions as well. When I say "effort" it means getting up at 4.i5am so i can get farm chores done then drive in from Woodstock by 6am. I can it's been definately worth it because I have learnt heaps and improved some...I mean I managed a few decent wallball squats this morning! Ive struggled with them for ages. So consistency has made a big difference. The early starts mean I can fit in a recovery swim afterwards and STILL get to work on time too!
Robin your wall ball was 100% improved today, I think the 100 DB thrusters you did on wednesday also helped get the movement pattern down.
Consistancy of training and getting coached, so you are always doing the closest to correct form that you can also go along way. As does training smart around pre existing injures that you have. PS thankyou Brett for telling me to pick up the ball or get back on the rings this morning, although it may not have looked like it at the time, I did appiciate it
By the way Robin I'm still have a little chuckle to myself when I think about just before your PT session wednesday at the other gym and the young guy who was trying to be nice and offered to move the pin to make it easier for you on the assisted chin machine. I love the fact you just said "no thankyou" folded down the knee rest and then repped out an unassisted chin. You go girl
2 pull ups with chin OVER the bar actually! Then you arrived to rescue me because that was the limit of my showing off with only one good shoulder. It was fun watching the guy's jaw drop... Thanks also for getting the ice packs for Ella-Rose. I could see she was really hurting that last round. Does anyone know the best way to manage Shin Splints?
Ella, rest till pain goes then progressively increase jogging within pain limits.
ie. If it doesnt hurt to run 100m but it hurts to run 200m then run 100 until you can do 120, 140,160, 180, 200 pain free - sneak up on it. Ice after each session.
Sub rowing, swimming and cycling into your WODs until the pain disappears.
Good running shoe's will help, I get shin splint/pain when my runners are on the way out, which is about every 6 months when the cushioning has been flatten and not doing it's job anymore. Learn this the hard way this week, left my good runners at work and had to use an old pair for a run around riverway, sore shins for a clue of days afterwards
I'm recovering and back at training. My leg is still quite weak. I haven't been since Thursday (this post was made Monday 23rd March) as I had to work for the Election on Saturday. I staid in bed all Sunday as not having my leg raised the day before and rushing to make a specialist appt on Friday left me stiff and very sore.
That said, the first week back to training has been awesome. I had been aching all over from the work outs. Don't worry I'm doing hardly anything on my legs. I was relieved to hear that I wasn't the only person who was hurting on Thursday from Tuesday's work out. But here's the thing, the hardest thing about getting back into training is the starting and the getting up early in the mornings. I feel a whole lot better in myself after working out. I'm hooked :)
Robyn, I can see your doing much better from the group work outs. I know I do as well as we all benefit from the comradery and pushing each other on. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the encouragement Scott A and Chris. Yes, its much better to work out with the group and with everyone else probably 20 years younger. I mean the general thinking is that "older" ladies dont do this sort of excerise, we should be reaching for walking sticks instead. But I just tell my self you are only as old as you feel.... and I always feel "28"...

Avoid hills(the dorsiflexion will hurt).
Nice work on the chins Scott B :)
Good story Robin :) and well done on ramping up the training :) Big effort!
Sounds like everyone at CFNQ is going great guns :)
How's the leg coming along Chris?
