Pull ups, dips, stair repeats, again and again
-
<p>On saturday before the test I did 15 hill repeats, first ten at quick speed (1:50 each), last 5 more slowly, it was muggy and hot, windless. Sunday wws pull ups, did 16 first set, on last rep I craned my neck back in an exertion to get the chin over the bar, and felt a crick, and mild discomfort so stopped. It's almost better now.<br>
Yesterday I slipped on some tiles in the rain and by catching myself before falling I strained my tibialis anterior, really unusual for me to get a leg injury, so resting a few days, perhaps up to two weeks.</p> -
<p>Popped up before dark and did pull ups. Copied JK, did: 10 sets of 5 with 15-30 seconds break, then kept on with 4 sets of 5 with 1 minute break. All full hang, straight legs. Not too sore, but a decent amount of reps quickly. Leg still sore, but only on some movements.</p>

<p>Well, it wasn't too hard, a couple of the last were strained-I always do the pause at the bottom.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sunday, this morning did stair repeats for 15 minutes on the longer stair section, plus a longer hike. Then also did pull ups: 14/12/10 and dips 15/15.</p>
<p>Afternoon, did pull ups 12/12 and dips 15/10 and hike to top of hill and back.</p>
<p>Leg injury mostly gone, still little niggles.</p> -
Didn't post last time, did 8 repeats of 240 steps which is tough, aim 10 next time. Also regular with pull ups dips. Also yesterday did pull ups 3 sets with about 5seconds full hang at bottom, really good workout to keep it strict, 14, 12, 10 with decent breaks.

<p>Morning did 15 hill repeats, first 10 in 19 minutes, then another 5-no break, but last 5 were untimed. Got stitch first, then was dizzy the last two so had to stop. It was about 35 C and humid, plus I'd just eaten some chicken and grapes, so that caused the stitch. Still, 15 is good and as always I push hard, HB was over 220 after the first 10.</p>
<p>Afternoon did:</p>
<p>pull ups 14/12/12</p>
<p>dips 15/15/10/8</p>
<p>pull ups 14</p>
<p>so that's ok, too. Decent rests between sets.</p> -

<p>Why did that cause the stitch, out of interest?</p> -
<p>No prob, if I don't exercise at my limit the stitch doesn't come. However, I find it hard to go slow at the start.</p>
<p>Today did 15 hill repeats, first 6 quick @ 1:43, then next 5 slow untimed as got stitch, then last 4 at decent 2:10.</p>
<p>also, only<span style="font-size:14px;"> 15 pull ups on way up hill, intended to do more in the afternoon, but we have a typhoon and it was torrential by 4pm. Oh well.</span></p> -
<p>Thursday before sunset went up and did 15/10 pull ups, 15/12 dips and some stairs, fast but not a lot of repeats. From the bottom to the top is about 500 which I do almost all 2 by 2 non stop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sunday did the same upper body, but did 10 hill repeats of 140 steps, fast (1:45 each which is 2 by 2 up, running down, no breaks)</p>
<p>Didn't get stitch as hadn't eaten within 4 hours.</p>
<p>Took heartbeat after last one, was about 240 ! I'm not holding much back.....</p> -

<p>Ok cool, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the actual food. Had the stich for the first time in ages and was wondering what I had screwed up.</p>

<p>Jarring and odd breathing patterns can cause stitch. Used to get it with running until I sussed out my breathing and stride length. Read that horse riders get it too! thought that was kind of odd aye!</p> -

<p>Mate, it's a miracle that I've not got it more often if it's odd breathing patterns</p>
