Running club last night, weights club tonight. Nights are drawing in but I retire about a week after the clocks go back and one thing I will be glad of is being able to make the most of winter daylight!
Run and a swim tonight – funny how intervals then a longer tempo effort are fun when you’re running, but grim in the pool… Doing 8x25m + 200m twice nearly killed me 🙂
Owf. Went for a ride. Felt shit. Wasn’t warm enough to get going and couldn’t get going enough to get warm. I’ve been suffering from some, err, digestion problems so my lack of energy could be a result of that or another symptom of something causing both.
Another half hour trials session. 3rd day in a row. Lower legs and shoulders feeling it so decided to just take it a little bit easier, turn down the brute-force a notch. Bit of a lesson there, felt a bit calmer, it might not have to be a fight against my own body.
Quick spin on the bike today, could have gone further but must admit I couldn’t be a***d. Good fun though, gave it some beans on the downhill which is always a laugh.
I skipped Wednesday, got a pretty full on cold and really didn’t have the energy when the OH finally got home at 20:15 after a nightmare shift. A hot chocolate on the sofa was a much better idea and I feel much better for it.
I’m currently tracking one day behind as i didn’t get out last Friday – will try and correct this over the weekend and get out twice on one day.
Most of my activities have been brisk walks but getting out on the bike at weekends.
Nice pootle along the tees today(apart from the wind).Also, tried a bit of low level dirt jump on my hardtail.Looking forward to my full susser being repaired.Jumping about seems alot harder work than just bowling along.I can imagine the trials guy above must get a good sweat on after 30 minutes.
I took a gentle spin on Zwift this lunchtime. I did AdZ last night, started out as a workout but was not feeling it in the legs. Thought I’d keep going up the climb as I was already 7 turns in, but I wasn’t very strong. Feeling it in the legs a little right now, so the gentle spin today was just the ticket!
Went for a run today and ended up running 10 miles! That’s the furthest I’ve ever run by far! This exercise malarkey’s definitely got its plus sides. A couple of HIIT sessions, a ride and another run earlier in the week.
Ate too much dinner which isn’t exactly an infrequent occurrence. After pudding (mince pie + ice cream) decided I needed another one but the OH actually got strict with me and said no. I couldn’t believe it! So I had a hot cross bun instead 😀
Turned out not to be such a good idea when it came to exercising however. Felt a bit queesy after 3 x 2 walks up the wall into a handstand. Pull ups didn’t make me feel any better either, dips were ok. Then bodyweight rows + push ups. Wall slides on the floor and a few other stretches. Probably about an hour.
Despite feeling crap yesterday, I headed up on the Singlespeed to Loch Morlich to try to get a decent photo of the new snow on the mountains. Got caught in another cold shower but felt a bit better so spun round for a couple of hours.
As an aside, I’m loving the SingleSpeed setup as I can just quickly hose the bike down when I get home and it’s good to go.

Great – but remember not to push things too far/too fast and knacker something. There’s still 76 days to go!
Thought about doing the same Joe Wicks video this evening but last minute decided to try someone else.
Brutal, but I kind of had a feeling that a guy calling himself Bully Juice probably would make it tough. I’m a puddle on the floor and he’s just chill AF.
Meh! The CBA continued with leaking tubeless on my cx, impossibly tight tyres and nearly leaving the house without any water. At which point, thanks to the good weather, the roads and trails were heaving! And my legs felt naff. Did just over an hour and that’s enough. At least the challenge forced me out. Now to do that gardening…
I,ve been a bit weary this weekend,at the same time as the rest of you.I wonder if tiredness is hitting us in waves.That or the weather is doing us in.I think the same thing occurred last year.
I’m going to take it a bit easier this week as my sleep pattern (which had improved at the start of this) was terrible last week. Wide awake at 3am and not getting back to sleep! 2 hour walk with the kids today and Pilates or walks for the rest of the week I think!
