Day one completed, session at the gym. Only 99 days to go, feels good to be down into double figures remaining 😃
30 mile road bike ride for me
got myself out for a commute like 45min ride before breakfast - 1 down..
have persuaded 16 work colleagues to give it a go with me this year
Two hour gentle ride with my other half, fair play to her as she hasn't been near her bike for a few years. 15 mile Kilt Walk with my daughter tomorrow. I'm not committing to anything but gonna try.
A gentle walk to the localish shop to start with, an easy one but better than getting in the car to go to the supermarket.
Planning an early gentle ride in the morning followed by an FTP test ready for my winter Zwifting and following one of the training plans, that should keep me on track with 3-4 sessions per week.
Aaaaand we’re off! 45 min trot over the fell in glorious sunshine probably barely 5-6k but all up or down and from tiny acorns mighty oaks doth grow etc.

Good luck everyone. I'm just heading out for a run around the hill.
Walked into/out of town earlier rather than take the car. Doing this challenge last year had that lasting effect on me.
Just back from 2.5hrs gravelling, checking out a running route for Monday evening.
(This is actually day 102 for me).
I've missed this challenge previously and only just read about it now but I'll go for it.
parkrun for me this morning and almost certainly the worst photo ever taken of me...
Started with a local ride out from Sheffield towards Holmes field and back via big moor and Totley Moss. Was very misty so failed on the photo front. Good to hear what everyone else is up to.
1/100
Off to a good start.
1.5h walking the dog first thing this morning then after a load of gardening and housework I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours on the bike this afternoon to make the most of the dry trails before tomorrows rain hits.
Bit of a low key start for me as I’m on a trip in Finland. However, an hour walking in the forest after work saw me over 10000 steps.
Well this thread couldn't have come at a better time. I'd drifted away from STW this year for various reasons (mostly health) but took a little look this afternoon and found this thread. I have been unsuccessful at this every year I've tried it but going to give it another bash! Started off with a 35min walk this evening. Hopefully I'll shift some of this major weight I've gained this year!
Up 'our' hill for sunrise, a lengthy walk into town, a mooch and back so all in all probably 5x step count I'd normally do in a day.
A nice and, for me, appropriate start
Started strong with a 30 mile mtb ride today.
that will undoubtedly be the highlight of the next 6 days.
For positive reasons I thought I'd not do this this year, the last four years of doing, some more successful than others, have instilled a good discipline for exercise for me. Today has been a 'lazy' day though, got the youngest to bed then thought 'why not'...
an hour on the skateboard this morning, then football in the park with the kids this afternoon
im knackered now!
Day 1. Some football in the morning and a nice walk in the afternoon.
Here's a hawk in the in-laws garden.
Day 2/100
Walked to/from junior parkrun this morning. I used to walk but I've got into the habit of driving even when, like today, I'm not going on somewhere else afterwards. So it's good to get back into the walking habit just as the weather turns to ****.
Day 1 first gym session in ages which was a shock! Day 2 17ish km out the back of town and up the trundle. I reckon Monday will be the challenge!
Day2: An hour on the trail bike. All good.
Walking up and down Greno most of yesterday. Drank far too much trail ale last night, so a spin out on the MTB today for an hour round some local trails.
Day 2.
Rode up to Loch Morlich on the Fatbike to support Mrs S doing the Aviemore Triathlon.
Day 2 and just a little leg turner this morning on the bike, gardening this afternoon, and I may go for a little walk later.
Rode up to Loch Morlich
The real question is, how long til my favourite bothy puts in an appearance @scotroutes?? 😉😂
I’ve been suffering with Sciatica all week so not an ideal start!
Did a very gentle 22 miles on the road which followed by an extended dog walk along the river.
Today has been some gardening this morning followed by another longer than usual dog walk.
My Sciatica feels a bit easier and the dogs are very happy!
Hopefully get back to running this week.
A gentle spin to and round the local park this morning, nothing strenuous but perfect Zone 2 stuff. Was heaving with runners all trying to get out and beat the rain forecast at 10am so wasn't calm like it normally is. Was going to do a FTP test this afternoon but that will be tomorrow now as I've got a bit of pain in my left leg, nothing bad but don't want to aggravate anything this early into the challenge!
22.5k xc ride with my son. Would have gone a bit further but he wasn't as enthusiastic as I was about adding in a couple more hills. TBF I had promised I'd take him to greno woods. Might do that after work/school tomorrow .
Got stung on the back of my neck by a wasp on the ride as well!!
First day was 15 miles on the road. Upped the game today with 50 miles on the MTB - it was meant to be 75 but I was having an Evenepoel scale bad day with the legs (despite apparently getting some very quick Strava top tens up one hill 🤷♂️ ) and the bike broke so I sacked it off and got the bus home.
Going to listen to my body and do some gentle stuff over the next few days.
D2
Couple of hours at band rehearsal (I move around a LOT so the dancing counts!)
20 and a bit minutes doing some active movements and yoga all mixed in whilst listening to the recordings from this morning so I've done the 30 mins or so, in my own way!
Digging and mattocking for the community garden for a couple of hours then a tootle on the commute bike.
Still very hazy here
5 mile walk into town yesterday. for beers. i dont walk anywhere, so this morning, i couldnt hardly move.
10 mile leg loosener today was enough.
Yesterday - couple of hours bouldering at the local climbing wall plus an hour's yoga in the evening, since the weather was a bit pish
Today - couple of hours steady run/hike up on Ilkley Moor since the weather was a bit better 🙂
Leisurely 2.5 hour cafe ride with the club this morning, 2 hours gardening this afternoon.
Took the kids swimming, did some weights, can of recovery stout watching Mortimer and Whitehouse in a bit
Walk up the moors for me today, decent amount of climbing so good enough.
Swimming lesson this evening. Not especially strenuous but something different
