Stepping up the fitness in advance of our visit to the other gym we're doing fast road running - basically a circuit from the Trainstation2 over the Penarth Road Taff Bridge along the Taff Trail to the Grangetown bridge and back down Dumballs Road. It's about 2.5 miles and I did it in 14.43 minutes. Just me and Rich tonight and he did it in a bit over 18 mins.
Sparring with Rich was great tonight and a real opportunity to try to put into practice my skills without the pressure of Dave or Ash trying to take my head off. I'm realising now the fitter you are, the easier it is to tire out your opponent and then move in with some combinations. I got some great left and right combinations and even some body blows in and could rush Rich onto the ropes but felt terrible as a hook cut his right eye but later this just seemed to be bruising.
Felt on top form afterwards - it was a hard workout tonight. It's amazing what you can fit into an hour!
