Training Diary

A live record of my training at 50. Outdoor sessions, resistance work, fitness drills and everything in between. No highlight reel — just the real thing, documented as it happens. Added after every session.

This is not a training plan. It is a training record — what was actually done, on what day, in what conditions, and how it felt. I have trained since the age of 18. Two ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstructions and Type 1 diabetes have taught me more about the body than any textbook. This diary is where that experience shows up in real time.

Session 5 — Fitness Drills

Three people, cones and a park. One training partner back from university after three months away. The camcorder died mid-session. The phone took over. Nobody stopped.

Session 4 — Fitness Drills

Pure drill-based cardio in the park. Shuttle runs, T-drill, cone weave, box drill, figure of 8 and press-ups. One hour. At 50, it was hard. By the end there was nothing left.

Site Diary May 2026

When the Website Started Fighting Back

I built this site to share honest fitness education. Somehow I ended up fighting video editing software, muting swear words and exporting broken files. This is what happened and what I learned from it.

TRX Suspension Friday 16 May 2026

Session 2 — TRX Suspension Training

Two days after the first session back. Everything still hurting from Thursday. Legs heavy, body tired. One hour of TRX — we plodded along and finished. That is the whole point.

Session 1 — First Session Back

First outdoor session back after a long break. Fitness drills, EZ bar upper body and resistance bands. Three clients showed up in threatening weather. Nobody regretted it.
