    Per fight training journal.

    Ok so I've hit exact 2 weeks before I fly to France for the elimination tournament for the world Savate combat championships. - any one who doesn't know what Savate is and would like to know just ask and I can give you a full explanation.

    My training has consisted largely of running for cardio usually 1.8km and I try to reduce time everytime I run, I've residues it from 12 minutes 30 seconds to 9 minutes 30 seconds so far.
    Shadow boxing for 5x2 minute rounds straight after the run then stretching.
    Twice a week I get myself to the local boxing gym and once a week I travel to 1.5 hours for Savate training with the German team coach.
    I try to get out at least three times per week with my girlfriend (she's come second at two world championships and once in the European championships) for some extra sparring and fitness work including shuttle sprints with clap push ups and squat jumps at the end of each sprint.

    Today
    05/24/213
    I'm doing my pre-run stretches while I write this. Aiming to get below 9:30 on this run then hopefully get some sparring in if my GF is up yet!

    Didn't get below 9:30 although the first half I ran the same pace as my GF , I left her eating my dust in the second half
    We did 3x2 minute rounds of sparring afterwards and I stretched before I showered and now I gotta get off to work.

    1.8km (about 1.1miles) run completed in 9:10 minutes! May not seem fast for little over a mile but it's down considerably from April when I started it was taking me 12:59 minutes back then so I e taken 3:49 minutes off my time. Besides, I'm really not built for running!

    My GF got called into work early today so we couldn't do any training together which is a pity cos I was looking forward to some sparring and focus pad work so instead I did 5x2 minute rounds of shadow boxing with 30 seconds rest between rounds followed by 3x2 minute rounds of kicking a tree in the parking lot not quite Kickboxer style as I was wearing shoes and didn't hit it with my shin but the kicks were full force

    Then I did the following
    8 push ups with a clap -you know, where you push up real fast then clap your hands together real quick then put em back on the floor for the next one.
    Sprint 60 yards immediately do 8 squat jumps -squat down atg then come up as fast as possible and jump up in the air.
    Repeated that a total of 8 times- man is that a killer!

    300 crunches - varied between upper, lower and oblique abs crunches every 20-30 reps or so. I'm not training for physique so I'm not too bothered that my abs get bigger. I just really don't want to get stopped by a body shot, IMO there's nothing worse than that!

    20 minutes stretching my legs, lower back and shoulders to finish off with.

    Now it's time to have a protein shake and my 2nd daily dose of creatine. The protein is great for preventing muscle ache I've found and I've always found creatine to be a good supplement for increased speed and power (nothing compared to var but I get drug tested at these competitions)

    Loving your log bro. And I love the fact that you have developed your own Met Cons!
    Your running, add in more distance bro. You really will find that, that will help you immensely. Just go at a pace where you can run and run and run like for a couple of hours at a time, like 3 days per week. This will make you an iron man bro. This is exactly how the cyclist begin their training for the Tour de France. And the more rolling hills the better.
    I have faith that you will get there again this year bro but this time NO DAM INJURIES!!!
    love you man.

    Will do bro, I'm gonna do a long run Wednesday

    So today
    05/27/2013
    Went to the boxing gym after work
    15 mins warm up including push ups and sit ups - didn't count how many
    75 mins of combinations and slipping drills - slipping jabs and crosses
    30 minutes of heavy bag work. Mainly punches but I did work some kicks in at the end. I also managed to get in a round of sparring, but only one as there wasn't much time and everyone else was too tired. Lol.

    Tomorrow I've got a day of hut building before training. Should be fun
