On Sunday I received a text from the sparring coach inviting me to spar one of his fighters on Thursday, so that just about made my day after going to sign-up for classes and seeing the announcement that there will again be no sparring on Tuesday.

Sunday after the press workout: 3 rounds, 3 minutes each of shadowboxing, using VR boxing sim Thrill of the Fight

4 hill sprints followed by a 15 minute jog afterwards.

Noticed my left shoulder was feeling a little achy.

Monday morning: 5 minute round of jump-rope

Evening: 8 minute jump-rope round

3.4 mile jog in 36:22

Tuesday morning: another 5 minute round of skipping rope before work. This is pretty much a daily ritual except on squat days.

Been enjoying mixing in the VR headset for training sometimes. It's like enhanced shadowboxing.
