Well, I always start my training in earnest on the 1st September ..... So chill factore in the morning, squats and cycling during each day...and 6 pints of lager each night for après ski practice  I think the après ski training is the hardest aspect.. What's your plan ?

Buying the monthly pass for CFe later this week may see about the monthly pass for Rossendale as well, as CFe first thing in the morning is a no go with all the traffic for me.

I started the training in June, but I had rehab and weight to lose!! Ive been doing body pump twice a week, Circuits twice a week and swimming the one (ok so mainly sat in the Jacuzzi). Not bothered with the apres, as its inevitable I will end up drinking sambuca, so id be better practicing crawling!! I already ski once a fortnight at tamworth, so I have the ice skating down to a tee

I kicked off the trail running a couple of weeks ago, but need to start adding some bigger climbs to it.

Ive been rowing all year, but over the summer this has increased dramatically with the regatta season. I never bother with the indoor domes that much as I just find it so boring

I've been going down the pub in ski pants, sweaty thermals and a pair of ski boots.
Think I need to change my ski boot flex index so I can improve my Apres ski stance to a more balanced position.

I joined my local DW gym in May in an effort to get fit during my quiet summer months. Been doing three CV classes a week (Grit & Body Attack) & four resistance classes a week (Body Pump). I have Wed/Sat off but double up on Thur/Fri to get all the sessions in. Put 6lbs on since joining, adding an inch on my legs/arms/chest but have lost an inch off my waist

spyderjon, How the hell are you managing 3 CV and 4 Body pump a week!! Jesus, 4 pump sessions would be enough for me, but the Grit thrown in for good measure is mad!! How are you finding the grit sessions??

livetoski, Well done with the none smoking. Hope you keep it up. Managed it about 5 years ago, still get the urge now and then but love the fact I don't wheeze at nights and have seen my lung capacity nearly double.

robapplegate, it was too much night time activity that was causing the wheezing, not the smoking. Use my wifes trick, just roll over and got to sleep!

yorkshirelad, Lishman's Black Pudding for breakfast on Sundays, followed by a traditional thirst slake at Timothy Taylors in Keighley. Can't wait for the 2014 vintage Ram Tam.

spyderjon, Down the local tonight I had 3 on the bar

spyderjon, hehe
Ive not tried body attack or Grit yet, but defo want to add that in to my programme. Sadly I have had a spate of man flu, busy work and holidays in the last month, so its going to kill me when I start back next week.
I love the current BP programme, although the bicep pulses and all those crunches at the end let you know youve worked!
Like you the progress is amazing. I nearly died (and couldnt move for a week) after my first BP session a couple of months ago. Now up to 30kg on squats and back track. Only one i struggle a little with is chest track because of an old shoulder injury playing up.
Wish I had chance to double up on sessions, but alas I never have the time. The Grit & BP double up sounds good.

5 x 10km on the rowing machine Monday to Friday lunchtimes and walking/running/biking at weekends.
rowing is pretty good for losing weight, cardio and strengthening the legs, all of which help the skiing.

clarky999, I'm being guided by a pro trainer/physio and all of the pump stuff is high rep/low weight compared to what you'd do in the gym on free weights etc. But in a months time I'll be choka with work again so it'll all grind to a halt until next May so I've gotta give it some stick now.

Damn - Great North Run on Sunday - I know I should have been doing something for the last three months - 13 miles should be fine, it is that last 0.1mile while trying to be the 1,000,000th finisher that will be hard
