Sheffield Anniversary Jam






9 of us from Manchester went to Sheffield on saturday (January 27th) for a jam to mark the anniversary of the first big Sheffield session two years ago. As you can see from the photo, over 30 traceurs from Sheffield, York, Manchester and probably a few other plcaes turned up to train. I had the intention of resting my foot today, as I'm doing my best to stay off it after a tendon injury which I seem to keep re-injuring. Despite these intentions I still ened up doing a few vaults etc, but restricted the rest of my training to strength stuff. I'm looking forward to the spring, when I'll hopefully be back at 100% ready to get back into some serious parkour :-) Anyway, it turned out to be a good session in Sheffield, and it was a good opportunity to discuss techniques and ideas with other traceurs.

Only 96,500 to go!

Since I haven't posted anything in a while, I thought I'd give you an update on the 100,000 pull-up challenge. I'm a little behind schedule with this, as it's proving difficult to find the time to do it at work. I have only been counting pull-ups done on the designated bar in the basement at work. Since starting a couple of months ago, I have managed to do 3,500. This means that I'm behind my schedule of getting it all done in 3 years, but I'll continue anyway and complete the total no matter how long it takes. I'll keep you posted along the way.
