A Few Updates on the Fight Show

In the last couple of weeks, the hassle of having to organise this show has almost made me want to quit, go home to bed and not bother anymore. Then there are moments like the one yesterday, which made everything seem worthwhile. I was in town, picking up Christmas presents when I came upon a … Continue reading →

Final Week of training ahead

So we’re in week 11 of 12, and the guys are looking and feeling good. I’ll spare a bit of information in this post as the lads are yet to fight so we’ll see how that goes before I really assess things. But here is a rough idea of what I tried to achieve in … Continue reading →

Heard on The Premiership tonight:“Oh poor clearance by Cech. He deserves to be punished!”Interesting insight into one commentator’s secret life. Today was the last day of serious training and sparring. It was a good session, but I watched it with my eyes half shut half expecting to see someone turn their ankle or twist a … Continue reading →

Punches in Bunches

An actual fog descended on the gym on Tuesday So last night we did a high quality boxing session, or at least it was supposed to be high quality. It looked like this 2 rds shadow boxing with sprawl every 30 seconds Actually for every round we did last night, there was a beep every … Continue reading →

Yes it's 2am again

What breed of saddo am I? It’s 2am, I can’t sleep and I’ve chosen this time to update my blog, now that I’ve taken care of some paperwork that is. It’s annoying to be lying in bed with 1,000 things running through your head, and worse again when you get up to try to solve … Continue reading →

Maybe when he's 4

I was driving with my son (aged 3 and 1/2) today, on our way to playschool, oohing and ahing as only kids do at the sight of the frosty fields near our house. One of the only things I really like about where I live right now is the setting. Drive one way and it’s … Continue reading →

Interesting Evening

Carb depletion, you’ve gotta hate it. You think you don’t need pasta and then you go and do a session like last night’s. Some of the guys are on the cut right now and one or two are slightly above target. One guy in particular has been set a diet to get him waaaaaayyy down, … Continue reading →

2 weeks to go

I went down to the venue last night to have another look, take some measurements and so on. I’m bound to forget something but I’m really trying to cover all of the bases. So last night I measured out the warm up area which is basically a stage which we will screen off. It’s smaller … Continue reading →

Last interval on the rower here. Grant calls me bald, old and fat. I think from this video we can verify the first of those things… However I disagree with the old and fat thing. Santa just has to bring me one of these heart rate monitors, here’s the HRM data from yesterday’s session. The … Continue reading →

First Day Blues

Well, actually, not so blue. First session with Will this morning, I’m sure Heffernan will put up my scores and reps soon enough but basically it was tough, really tough but enjoyable. I started this morning at 7am cleaning my house for a viewing to see if someone wants to buy it. You can’t make … Continue reading →
