<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> -
I hurt lower back midweek, but luckily not too bad and it didn't worsen like previous two years. Did 3*10 pull ups on sunday as a refresher. We went to fancy thai buffet restaurant with friends and family sunday night, and I absolutely stuffed myself with delicious food. So much that I couldn't sleep much. Got up just after 6am and hiked quickly to top and back down-30 minutes. Also did... <br>
Pull ups 12, 10 on way up and 14 on way back down<br>
Dips 14 on way up, 15 at top, 14 on way back down<br><br>
still feeling full so today will only eat fruit and vegetable juice -
<p>Went up Tuesday after dark, but knee was clicking so just did 1 set of 14 pull ups.</p>
<p>Went up on Thursday at dusk, and did 15/11 pull ups, 15/12 dips, then 14 pull ups.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No hiking as knee continues to click when going up stairs. Must try to find time to get it checked. No pain just a sharp click. I wonder if it's related to doing less hiking lately, so maybe the muscles have relaxed and something has go less aligned? I should probably spend the Winter stretching a lot, then see how it is in Spring.</p> -
Was a bit busy last week so didn't exercise, but walked 40 minutes on a hilly road, then have done pull ups, good form as usual :14, 12, 12, 12=50... Pleased to still feel strong, it's important I stay consistent so will come up midweek for some dips, too. <br><br>
My left knee has a sharp light click noise when walking up steps. So, until I have a chance to get it properly checked, I have stopped the hill repeats. I will try to do regular hill walking, since there is no clicking, and more stretching.
