Been ill most of week so taking it easy.
A good warm up with lots of mobility work makes a huge difference.
Focus on time to touch. Longer setups before each touch.
In epee retreating with an extended arm is a good fallback plan.

I've followed this program twice before and always enjoyed it. The full details can be found in Dan John's Can You Go? but there is a nice summary here. I've started with the easier Tonic day as I'm feeling a little beaten up.

All very close bouts. I need more patience to set up actions agains tall counter attackers and a way to deal with opponents who attack hard of the line.

All done. Finished today in 9 minutes, 41 seconds. Overall feel good. Some mild tennis elbow, but fencing is probably as much of a contributor as the swings. My swing form feels good and I'm learning to relax my grip at the top while keeping everything else tight. My press ups feel a lot easier and more explosive. I'm going to do a few weeks of easy weights and then go back to a variation of this routine.
