Recently I've been doing a lot of barefoot training. It really is awesome. Last sat i spent nearly the whole day barefoot and it was really great to be out in the warm sun training :D
My feet have really toughened up over the last week and I've noticed that my touch has gotten slightly better and my climb ups are much quicker (technique is sorted now yippeeeee)
On saturday I did the 180 at wagzi's barefoot, the smaller running armjump and various precisions etc which i am really happy with because before I didnt have the confidence nor the toughness of my feet. it is so sick
I've also been working on linking movements and full runs barefoot, been working on making dashes efficient and including them into runs. I've also started working on becoming more smooth with my techniques etc and want to improve my runs overall - becoming more creative.
and i really need to sesh at the quad!

Haven't been on here for agesssss - An Update
Life is good, awesome actually. School work is loads better and I have a healthy balance of parkour and other things.
I've been working on flips etc and have now learnt:
Wall Flips
Fullbacks
Gainers
and im still working on gainer dismounts.
I went to decathlon to buy new shoes yesterday, got a normal Kalenji 'Success' and another pair which are the same as Rich's but one size bigger :D. Like they aren't very grippy atm but i'll wear them in and they will be awesome. I wanted to buy a bow and arrow hahaha.
At first my new kalenji's (not success type) needed wearing in and were really squeaky and the grip wasnt very good. But now i've started wearing them in loads and they are awesomeeeee!
training.
Training has been so awesome, the last few days have been so sunny resulting in me training everyday. On Wednesday I trained with Matt and Ben in town (nearly all of sapk..) which was pretty awesome. Did some lovely symmetrical muscle ups, worked on the alban arena running precision and varying movements after the precision. Had loads of fun and the chats on the way home was pretty sick.
At my area I have been working on loads of runs through the trees, got the runs really smooth as well as recovering really well from 3 stupid bails hahahaha
I've been working on my touch too and i've noticed a difference, trying to walk quietly to school at school to my house etc is really good for practising and also I really wanna start more barefoot in town not just my area so that will be safe.
overall, LIFE IS SWEEEEEEEET!
