Day 8, 3.06 km swim in 68 minutes. Longer swim and despite how sluggish it felt, somehow faster rate than normal. Go figure.
Week one done and weighed myself on Day one and Day 8 and just from this and dropping alcohol and all other rubbish foods, chips, chocolate (though some snuck through), crisps, managed a 1.8 kg weight loss in this week.
Before some smarty pants comes along and points out "you'll never make it to 100 days whilst restricting calories", I haven't been, I've trained within the lower HR zones, kept up a good calorie intake and eaten and rested vey well.
Despite having trained every day I feel quite good.
really feeling it now.
90mins Ju Jitsu on Wed eve, which felt like throw after throw after throw, most throws are pretty effortless but being thrown means getting back to your feet (over and over again)
90mins on the mtb last nightf
gym this afternoon
5k trail waddle this lunchtime. Just measured the blubber mountain lost about half an inch. Although probably within margin of error for a trapped fart or a lodged steak and kidney pudding.
Soobalias-Its a long way to
Chriatmas I hope you dont blow up early.Maybe your a youngster so it's manageable.Do you have any easy days?
I'm going to be a bit pushed for time and opportunity over the next 4 days so I thought I'd better get a good one in today. 50km gravel ride down to Glen Feshie and back.

C25K, back to run one of week 4 again. Glad I just went for a walk yesterday! 🙂
Short 10 mile spin through the woods and back via the canal. Not at all intense but good for a bit of fun.
Holy shitballs. It's been that long since I trained legs that already after only 16 hours I'm already sitting down very carefully. **** knows what they'll be like tomorrow...😂
Day 8 - managed a couple of walks to school plus some other bits of mooching. Around 2 1/2 hours of actual moving. Haven't managed to do proper exercise yet, that may be for tomorrow.
Last day in the Lakes, ran yesterday after Ambleside shopping and cafe as it was pouring. Really clear air today.
Up n down stairs today. Not real exercise but I could of chosen to remain on the same floor all day.
Needed spring onions so rode to the supermarket and back along the river which means I’ve done my extra 30 minutes and some. The idea of using the bike when you would usually use the car really appeals to me.
Ran out of time today for the Zwift race I planned so it'll just be a walk to the shops to get some milk in a few minutes. Don't really need to get some until tomorrow evening but it ticks a box and saves me forgetting!
Another march today. Managed nearly 8km and the knee is holding up. Might try a run in a couple of weeks! Out on the bike tomorrow after the Dad Taxi duties are done.
Day 9 - recovered from my back mood of day 8 (with no booze for once on a Friday night as we didn't have any and I'm trying to save money). Woke up knackered but fed and got on with a half hour of exercise via a homeworkout app. Now for a dreaded friend of 7yr olds birthday party.
managed to get to the gym yesterday, 15mins on the X-Trainer with an arms bias and then 15mins of weights circuits.
legs are still shot from mid week exertions so thinking some yoga this morning and then something mild this afternoon...
Didn't manage anything yesterday due to a camping mishap, spent Only just got the tent up before midnight. Go Aping later and a bit of walking so we'll make up for it today.
Day 9, turbo session using the wahoo systm app, 26.57 km in 62 minutes at average of 144 watts, which I’m happy with. First time I’ve managed 60 mins cycling for about a year, so naturally it must be down to this 100 day thing.
Plan to take it easy for the rest of the day.
Hours ride along the river.Plenty of wildlife about but felt stuffed up and achy when I finished.Tend to get cold symptoms in cooler weather.Anybody else feel the same?
Walked into town for a flu and Covid booster jab. On the walk back I stopped for a coffee and Cake, no cherry today. Eight flights of stairs x 2. Will try harder tomorrow.
Tend to get cold symptoms in cooler weather.Anybody else feel the same?
Yep. Asthmatic here. Tend to pick up anything cold/flu-like doing the rounds. Also, when working hard I can struggle a lot more in cold air. It just seems to hurt my chest way more.
Have you thought about becoming a pro cyclist. Seems you have the right qualifications...
In cold weather I end up with a small cough every so often. Got an inhaler for exercise induced asthma. Does help.
Today was a ride on steep stuff but tyres too soft so took it easy. All off the back of bowhill lovely day for it

Longer dog walk yesterday.
890m of Mtb fun today.
Mowing the lawn and a bit of shovel work. 1hr 30. To and from said lawn by bike.
Bike ride planned for tomorrow.
Spent a few hours today walking round a county fair dodging traction engines (full size and miniature) so that counts towards today, especially as I resisted the doughnut stall 🤣
Have you thought about becoming a pro cyclist.
Damn it @scotroutes!!! You have seen through the thin veneer of my disguise. I'll let you decide which TUE exempt pro/ex-pro I am 😳😂😂😂
I managed to escape family (by marriage!) drama long enough for a sneaky 5km run.

Day 10 tomorrow (Sunday) and the weather is looking a bit wild. Fingers crossed for a wee beach walk.
@fazzini - so many to choose from.
Lovely walk around an NT estate - had intended to go for a swim, but all the pools are shut for refurb or only doing lessons round hete. 🙁
Went for a run up the fell, should've been a bike ride but shizzle happens
A good week this week, so far. 72 mile today. Taunton to west bay and back
Big day out!
Fantastic day on the fells today
I was looking for the e bike symbol! The pictures and running shoes said otherwise!
I managed 10 minutes each way to the pub, on foot 😭
First time at the skatepark today since July
God I am rusty
C25k week 2 first run complete. Going for a walk with Mrs fazzini later. Back in the office for 3 weeks starting tomorrow so back to commuting every day too 😁
A short hour out in the local woods today, planed more but the body wasn't willing so just did a few hill reps before heading back.
Wouldn't have got out today if it wasn't for the challenge, far too easy to stay in bed so that's a big win.
Is it Day 10 now?
I know I missed a couple of days this week, but yesterday did a 104 mile road ride with a mate, and this morning we did 12 miles as a recovery ride. To an excellent cafe for a slap up breakfast.
Walk first thing this morning now waiting in Manchester airport to board a flight which appears to be delayed. Was hoping to go for a run when I arrive at my hotel, but we'll see what time I arrive.
Did I mention plane travel does my head in.
Long (slightly hungover...) walk with the dog yesterday:
And a much better 28K outing today, helping out with my club's annual race. Up at 6, which wasn't ideal, and it was bloody freezing, but all good fun!
Day 10.
Weather was as wet and windy as forecast but needs must and we had a short, blustery beach walk.

Definitely one we wouldn't have done without this thread.
Just a walk here too, but had lifted 100kg of woodburner up two flights of stairs at my cousins this morning then done 3 hours of dry stone walling so we'll call it quits.
Day 10 - around 1.hrs walking and 30mins ish of homeworkout app exercise.
Nothing exciting but it's fairly strenuous for me, still building strength back up in the wrist. Keeping everything bodyweight, not fussed about weights or gym work.
Standard dog walks and a 6km paddle with a friends child as ballast/Cox demanding we went faster.
Just over 3hrs of biking today.
25 minutes on a bike, around 3hrs on a tandem!
Decent ride with nice people.
Join a tandem club today for fun rides!
Bury tandem club for the blind and partially sighted. New riders up front always needed.
