Looks like I will have to make my activities more visible and spam my followers feeds for the rest of the year though

Yep. Private activities don’t show. I’d normally my audience so that only “interesting” activities show up but I’ll just go Public for a while.

I will join you all but do the 75 hard challenge . I need the no alcohol and food discipline requirement.I think a number of you do this challenge already,it just doesn’t have a name.Good luck all and avoid dem bugs!

Joined the strava club, will give it a whirl!

Requested to join.
probably won’t put everything on Strava as I don’t want to here the pants off my regular followers.
will just post on here and annoy you lot instead.

And we’re off…

Asked to join the club.

Covid has buggered me up somewhat which is a shame, but reckon I can still do some active stretching in between coughing and generally being a miserable old(ish) sod.

I’m in, joined the strava club, need the motivation and also to drink less beers!

I’m in again.

First joined the challenge in 2022. I was having chemo at the time and found it tough! Nonetheless, I managed to do something most days. Coincidentally, I’m typing from the Christie whilst waiting for a blood test… Fingers crossed.

This year I’ve started early… Already 21 days in and, apart from having a cold, I’m feeling good.

Hoping to work the Festive 500 into this as well… It’s all about setting goals and achieving them ??

There’s a very unflattering pic of me marshalling the CX at the weekend on our club page, so I need to add some dietary discipline to the activity.

Leading the local health ride tonight, will take us half an hour to do a lap of the CX course!

Question from an mildly interested potential participant, if you regularly commute you need to add something different in, does the same apply if you regularly walk the hound? I’m assuming counting that walk is a bit of a cop out? For context usually 2 walks of at least 40 minutes a day.

Hi @toby1

I think we all set our own “rules”. Mine is to do at least 30 minutes of purposeful exercise every day.   I mix things up: Strength workouts, yoga, lots of cycling, indoor trainer if the weather is dire, maybe even an occasional run. I don’t have a dog, but if I did, I’d count it if at least 30 minutes of it elevated my heart rate (Zone 2 maybe).

My wife simplifies things… “If a Garmin can record it, then it counts!”

Yeah, I’m going to not count normal dog walks (already done 35 minutes this lunch time), but if I’m wrecked cos I’m pushing too hard then that will be my fallback/rest excercise I think. Although I’ll do longer and/or faster than normal.

A big weekend walk with the dog can be 20k easily so I’ll deffo be counting that though!

I’m camping weekend of 27th Sept, (load of us, piss up type camping) so going to take a bike to get out for a ride in the morning. Also going to Rhodes for a week end of Oct, so will do a few runs down the sea front and make use of the hotel gym/pool. All it’ll be doing is working off the all inclusive indulgence though!!….

Gym to night for me.

Went to bed last night with good intentions , then woke this morning with a stinking cold. Out with the gravel bike blast, and in with an extra walk in the woods. Out is better than in! Something is better than nothing. Build the habit.

Day 1: 5 k run at lunchtime and some walking home as a warm down. Was a bit warm tbh.

One down, ninety nine to go.  Sorry, no pic from the gym as no one wants to see that!

Joined the Strava. I may win the award for the lamest 30mins exercise but I need something to get me moving more. With one thing and another it’s been a bad year for biking this year and it’s showing on my weight and fitness.
May even dust off the Wii Fit board and do some yoga!

“I may win the award for the lamest 30mins exercise”

@rockhopper70 – Trust me, if that was an award, I’d have plenty of entries at the end of this, based on my experience last year!

Whatever works for you and you can fit into your schedule is what it’s all about.

Membership requested, Kingsley King

Managed to get something in. Stretches and some basic exercises from a random mtb fitness video from lockdown.

It’s a start.

May everyone to better than me today!

I really need the motivation this year so I’m in. Nice gentle 5K plod just now.

Requested to join the strava group to cheer others on but I don’t really do making my stuff public unless it’s interesting. Hopefully something will be interesting in the next 99 days!
