My cold seems to have shifted, so a lovely 90 minutes on the downs for me today!
Wrist holding up, which is great!

Head cold going, but my head went at Farmer John’s this evening. I can’t ride drops like I used to.  Lockdown has got me out of practice.  Still 45minutes of shitting myself, must  count double!  It’s going to be a long winter if I can’t get my falling off a mountain routine sorted…

Very quick blast for me on a good local loop. Singletrack, techy bits, steady climbing and some kickers. I could get used to this! Better than last night’s burger fuelled birthday ride!

Morning folks! 7k run at 4.55/km this morning in a slightly chillier Edinburgh.

Scotroutes your Scotland adventures always make me very envious!

Another morning Bosely Cloud hike with the pooch for me, doing it at a brisk enough pace that it actually feels like exercise.

Off out shortly for a 3 course lunch for my girlfriends birthday.

Day 3. As expected I can really feel last nights kettlebells. 45 min walk before breakfast today as a result. Active recovery…(or something)

Out yesterday for a long day round Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach above Loch Quoich. Absolutely fantastic views, very atmospheric with occasional banks of cloud swirling around the summit ridges, then clearing to bright sunlight – one of the best days hillwalking I’ve had in ages.

Doesn’t seem to have registered on the Strava Club for some reason though?

I’ve just started using strava for this and apparently you have to set walks as runs otherwise it doesn’t include them. Which is a bit rubbish.

I declared turbo season officially open at Chez mogrim last night, did a very sweaty climb in the Canaries on BKool. Really ought to start following a plan there, instead of just doing whatever I feel like. Off for a run in a minute, hope the rain holds off 🙂

As well as my normal cycle commuting, I’m going to do a 30min upper body sessoin at home tonight, using my gym rings and some KBs…
Not quite fixed enough for a full on pull-up routine, but will get there in the next few weeks I reckon (as long as it doesn’t pull my wrist off!)

Bike to and from school, walk to and from nursery,  walk to school and the park and home today. Easily my 30 mins but don’t feel I’m doing enough and didn’t Strava!

3% completed, yay!

Intended gentle doorstep xc ride but tailwind KOM got the better of me. Tailwinds are like e-bikes, you still work hard 😀 0.63 mile segment through some fields, rollable 1ft drop on a corner half way down is it’s biggest challenge, 160bpm avg HR, 31mph max, 24mph avg. Followed by a couple of hours digging and wheelbarrowing, then an actually gentle xc ride home into headwind.

Half day at work so eventually turfed myself outside for a couple of hours going hither and yon on the road bike (have been off it for a couple of weeks and shoulders and undercarriage have forgotten what it’s like!).

Then the Mi Band 4 arrived and has already encouraged me to go about twice as far as we would have otherwise walking the dog, so I guess it’s doing the job already!

50min walk today. Will need to get the heart pumping a bit more over the weekend.

Couple of hours along the Tees on my old Avalanche. Jesus it’s hard work for some reason compared to my full susser. Still got to watch a druggy flasher and ensuing violence on Stockton high street.Not a very relaxing scene to observe sat outside of Costa bomb.Still,the young kid who pepper sprayed said druggy flasher in the face added to the theatre.

Day 3 done – 2.5 mile walk with eldest daughter.
Will walk again tomorrow then couple of hours on the road bike Sunday.

Zwift again for day 3. Riding with Diesel Dan pacer. Some resistance bands work on my upper body to hopefully fix the shoulder issue if had for years! Motivation!

There have been a couple of mentions of walks and hikes not registering. I have this problem too, how do you actually make strava ‘see’ these activities? Mine only shows cycle, run and swim so I assume that gym and yoga sessions won’t show either?

Thanks
