power shortage

I had a session down the Climbing Works today, power endurance training on the circuit board. Before I got stuck into this though, I had a brief boulder. I was a little bit frustrated as I seem to have lost some of my bouldering strength, problems that I was flashing a month or two ago were not getting done today. I just have to remind myself that its not what I'm training for, its just a distraction. I have to keep my goals in mind.

Having said that, I'm thinking about including an intense campus boarding phase in my training shortly before my trip. This should give me the power I need to pull through steep sections. I have never managed 1-4-7 so I would make this my goal.

Today's PE session was pretty good. I reduced my rest time to 3.5 minutes. I expected this to curtail my laps at around 6/7 but I managed 9. I've got a feeling that some of this is down to knowing the circuit so well now so I should probably change it. Reversing it might do the trick without altering the difficulty.

Lectures start again this week, but I have free days on Mondays and Fridays so my training should continue as normal. It'd be nice to get outside soon, blasted snow!
