Plan ahed

Well in College we have 2 weeks work experiance, i managed to contact a friend so I working at the local trampoline club I used to go to last year, and I smile at the thought I am doing 3 hours a day for 3 days a week. I have myself alot of freetime and I also get to bounce for free ;).

One reason I stopped going was because I owed money I didn't feel I owed. So I have myself alot of freetime over the next 2 weeks. It is going to be March not the most amazing of months but better than the last 3 monts lol.

So yeah I'll be training during that precious 2 week break. I'll push it abit I suppose, I tend to do that every session now. I set myself a goal or work the repetition to maintain skill level.

One skill I feel to work is the most basic of skills, running jump from 1 foot on flat surface. I'll explain in detail ;).

I suck when it comes to jumping of 1 foot on a flat surface I actually do a 2 foot jump from standing or walk in. With the 1 foot I find it of balance and strange, with a step up no problem what so ever. Yehh so working on this will make me happy applying more strength the muscles located round the calfs and hamstrings that can improve running cat leaps, running 1 foot precisions. Help me towards though huge gaps I came across in Derby.

Most importantly its for the balance and skill. I see people jump 1 footed from a flat surface and have great position when going over a wall , (maintaining the balance between hight and distance :P.) It will come with practice.

I also worked on techniques like rolling of a high surface so that I land on ground level on my feet I seen Daniel Ilabaca do it in a vid and tried it out for myself, it looks cool it certainly feels cool :P.

I did a double kong on 2 rails, which was the first for me I feel my upperbody improve so I plan to take it up a notch with them with bigger ones during the 2 weeks. I havnt been to the 180 cat location in sometime either since the autum. I plan to return to that as there is something I wanna try which I never had the balls for when I was last there. (180 cat precision) landing on a wall with 5-6 foot drop either side.

Anyway yehh thats the plan I have also been filming so I shall film this lot too I pray for dry weather :)

Half term training

Well it has been half term and the weather has been amazing on more than one occasion, one day I found myself training topless at one point :|.

The kong to handstand I mentioned in a previous blog I manage to land the other day also I have done some double kongs outside and worked on other chain movements. Can't really get into detail I'll just film it. This week I had my first taste of summer like weather and my training in the wet weather has only made me on focused on attempting the more difficult.

As for gymnastics its really good now, I wanna move on to some more difficult moves namly palm flip, gainer, 2 step wallflip and cork screw.

Hope the weather improves now we approach March, not that it really matters I can train fine either way just the rain holds me back abit when trying the more technichal movements that require a dry surface :P.

Valentines day training

Valentines day was sunny and warm I was training in a short sleeved shirt most of the day. I have progressed alot and I wish I had filmed most of todays session.

June is less than 5 months away and I am seriously thinking of going 100% for this sponsership. I have suprised myself on every turn. As for my gymnastics I have slacked a little bit my expectations are getting way to high and I am not going to reach my goals if I don't make the time in the gym as well :P.

All that I am thinking of now is really making better use of my time. The winter was cold but I still got through it, now that the spring is coming in I realise how much more time I have to work with everything.

I stopped to think how good things are in my life emotionally, I am happy with the friends and family I have but I am happy with what I have achieved myself. There is still so much out there I wish to achieve but I smile knowing that I all that can be done I just gotta remind myself of all that.

The last 5 months have been intresting but I feel overwhelmed with excitment of what is to come. What I wish to accomplish in my life.

New things I have came across

Well leg is all good and I been doing Parkour with friends and alone. I was out today on my own I went to Morrisons subway which was fun same stuff really but just testing how everything is working plus I was wearing my feyiues so I couldn't do any major big stuff otherwise they would get destroyed.

Then I went to the chursh two walls. I got a sense for progression when I landed the kong precision first time unlike in the past when it takes 4-5 attempts. After that I went for the kong to handstand but just didn't have the strength to support my whole weight which made me smile and think ok work out more on those arms ;).

Recently I have felt myself more at ease with the bigger stuff I am getting stronger I am getting faster I have an eye for improvment if I am not satisfied with what I am doing. I was in Derby last week and I must say that was good fun I kinda stopped after about 3 hours then my hands got cold :(.

That being said it was a good session but only made me wanna try harder and give me a rough idea of what I wanna achieve in the near future :).

Well I keep on trying and I will get there with practice the spring is coming and I look forward to it also I shall be 18 in 2 months :P.

Anyway I'm gonna work out now I ain't training tomorrow so I wont worry about how hard I push myself :).

Recovery

The back of my right leg has been hurting since mid January. It is like a burning sensaton running down my hamstring, I havn't properly rested it until now. I havn't done any Parkour since Monday and now it's Thursday I can feel it go away these things just take time.

However I still be working out to keep my legs nice and strong :P.

Anyway hopefully these goes away soon. :)
