Conditioning nights

The benefits of our weekly conditioning sessions (hell nights) are now really starting to show. At the last couple of sessions I've heard comments from the other participants that they feel fitter, and even that the exercises are getting easier. That's good, but it's also a sign that we need to ensure that we gradually increase the amount we do, and also vary the exercises slightly from one week to the next. I've noticed that people's physiques are starting to change, reflecting the work they've put into their training. I myself feel stronger and fitter than ever before and I have started to notice improvements in my parkour as a direct result of the conditioning. For example, my climb-ups are getting quicker. For what seems like no more effort than I've put in in the past, I now find myself getting up much quicker. It's clear that this type of training is an essential part of parkour training, and I'm glad that so many newcomers to parkour are taking part in the hell nights on a regular basis. It will be interesting to see how these sessions evolve over the coming months, and I hope that by embracing conditioning in this way we can all gain a better understanding of what parkour is really about, and adapt our training accordingly.
