Spent the day at my FIL's today. He's currently in hospital, so I went round and blitzed the gardens. They haven't been touched for a few months, so got a proper sweat on clearing it up.

Found a PureGym 10 mins from the work caravan, so 47 mins in there tonight. Would have stayed a bit longer but it had a crap selection of kit (even by PureGym standards) and was really busy

Did the dug drag you round? Was there a long lead (in)?

Another lovely autumn day and another visit to Glen Feshie, this time running.

Followed that up with a walk into town for some provisions (and an ice cream) and some yoga this evening.

Drive from Glenmore to Troon, then a ferry,  none of which count, so joined one of the local running groups for a 6k run, before heading  home. I'm quite pleased to have stopped moving.

Every f*cking year it gets to about this time and I come down with some chest lurgy or other. 

So a few days of yoga then.

I feel I'm cheating as it's dog walks but it's his last few days and a reprise of his favourite local wanders.

Still on track, but might have to resort to a walk tomorrow as i'll be out in town on the tram with no way of getting near a bike all day.  I'm not bloody running.

 

Had a good few laps of the pump track at lunch today and commuted by bike yesterday. Just totted up how far i go by bike just pottering about, 13km today, all of that either on a sit up and beg shopper or a 20" bmx

Day 10: dawn mtb ride. Legs a bit sore from squats yesterday so went slow and took some more techy options - very rocky. Bust a spoke.

Currently in the Medips so walking a lot. Shortest walk was 12km, longest 17km and today is a loop up to Crook Peak which should be about 20km.....

Might have a pub lunch afterwards if we make it down in time

Going okay here. Good to be mixing lots of MTBing with swimming, running and an attempt to get through all Yoga with Kassandra's new "Yogalatis" series. 15 mins each, so when I haven't done any recordable cardio (ie outside of standard dog walking etc), 2 of those back to back is a good way to log 30 mins.

Yoga with Kassandra's new "Yogalatis" series. 15 mins each

Sounds interesting, the wife and I have been looking for a new pilates/yoga thing to do together on a Monday evening, that could be ideal. 

 

As for the challenge I'm still in - Monday weights, Tuesday running, yesterday making the most of the last few days of the year I can ride my road bike in summer gear after work. Run later today.

No.1:

- I'm still a bit behind so haven't caught up with the latest ones yet, but there's enough variety to keep them interesting.

I too found the new Kassandra series - albeit only yesterday. Going to do the morning and evening ones I think, certainly feel better sitting down to work after day two today.

Ran yesterday, a local trail loop in lieu of missing out on Wednesday night hill running (went to this - Big Bike Film Night - Scotland - Big Bike Film Night )

Will be Yoga-lates today. Been doing it regularly for a few weeks now and think my pre-50 six pack is starting to emerge!

For all variations of Yoga & Pilates with added HIIT options, I heartily recommend this app: Down Dog | Great Yoga Anywhere

MTB commutes today, both extended, just over an hour done each way (most direct route is 22 mins)

PXL_20250925_070527685.jpgPXL_20250925_140632157.jpg

So, that's 10% done everyone - keep up the good work!

NWD for me tomorrow, was planning an epic ride in the Peak, but think I'm brewing for a bug, so that might not happen ...

I've probably not finished for the day but I did have to ride back home from last nights outing, so I'm already in credit 😂

I had a short week away with my family then I did my back in so have not done nearly as much as I hoped.  However this has given me extra motivation to get out and about and I have had at least an hour outside every day
