Anyone else geeking out? 🤣 

I doubt I'll do much with the info, but it might make me more regimented. Thought about adding more info - HR/Zones etc, but as I'm not training seriously thought it would be a pointless exercise.

I'll delete it in a couple of days when I fail and miss a day...

Wear a smart watch, try to remember to record each activity, more data than you could possibly want will be recorded

I'm not doing it strictly but my son did persuade me to go out for a ride tonight.  What I would like to do is ten or 15 minutes of stretching every day to improve my flexibility.

To my surprise and delight, the gym was ridiculously quiet tonight, got a decent workout in and had time and space to get a decent stretch as well.

One hour along the Tees on my Leccy bike(I know,but it was windy and I have asthma!).Oh and 10 minutes going around Gex testing an electric scooter.Terrifying it was.
Good luck all.

I do, which is where I get my heart rate into etc from and also have various apps.

 

The spreadsheet is just a snapshot of recording my 100 days - and will hopefully help me stick to it

I do include morning dog walks as I don't normally do them in the week. As long as I have no meetings before 0930, can squeeze in a 5km hike with the two mad mutts.

Ride or Gym tonight. Depends how much it rains today!

How people exercise whilst extremely hungover is beyond me.

Tonight's easy off roader has been cancelled, I may nip out early for a solo lap of the park. Tomorrow's pub ride is missing from the club app as well.

No, you're still in, you just missed a day, no need to give up.

Yours, sincerely, a person not taking part.

Short ride on the road bike, and god I was slow 🙂  Combination of a head cold, I haven't been out on the bike for nearly a month, and the aftereffects of the ultramarathon I did the week before last all seem to have done me in. Still, it was lovely weather for it, and I'm glad I went out. Presumably the next ride will be a bit faster!

Day 2/100 ticked off. 2 commutes, not as extended as I'd have liked. Evening brisk dog walk of 40mins. I know some on here won't count either of those, but I am.

Keep going peeps. Only 98 to go!

Went for a MTB ride. Drizzly and some variable grip. I found a perfect point where tired tyres, moist trail and - probably - rusty technique came together to have me off. Not on the recently healed shoulder but still went down like a sack of spuds!  Still another 1000+ active calorie day and a beer to finish. 

Gym circuit and pilates tomorrow. Can't wait 😉

Day 2 was an early kettlebell 20mins, quite enjoying the difficulty of KBs.

Then 5km jog with fungi collection. Chanterelles, hedgehogs and some ceps. Probably last of the year but made a tasty simple pasta tea.

Nice one @Kimbers - thats exactly the app I've been thinking I need.

 

Just been for a lunchtime walk, an intentionally easy day. Walked for 55 mins, barely 8k steps. Forgot how long it takes for 10k which is a daily minimum for me if walking.

In again this year! Still going from last year, it was completely transformational for me - had started training before but it has been a huge part of shifting over 4 stone. Doing something every day is a non-negotiable for me now.

So far for the new 100 days I've done weights + MTB ride up Tinto, walked a couple of extra tram stop and a gym session + 9 holes golf.
