    @walowiz – I’d really recommend going to a proper class to at least get started. Yin yoga classes are a good place to start. Having a teacher to watch and make sure you’re doing the poses properly in a way that won’t lead to injury is really helpful, especially when you’re a cyclist who is probably a lot less flexible around the hips than most.

    Anyway, I finally slipped yesterday – got took sudden by something Saturday night and wasn’t well enough yesterday to do anything but I’ll be back on it today. Previous week was all bike riding which was GREAT.

    Ride with my dad-

    Ride on some of the trails that got me into MTB

    Also started getting some Strava top tens again which is a good sign of recovery.

    Week before I did a couple of runs by the river Severn which were delightful.

    Nice pics @munrobiker.

    Easy couple of days for me. Woody hike Sunday with just the one dog (other one managed to make herself lame) and just 20 mins Yoga as was driving down to Sussex for work. Should have brought my trainers as lovely run along the river here. Instead hauled myself out of bed at 0630 and had Charlie Follows stretch me into some kind of shame for a day of sit down meetings and then 3.5 hour driving home.

    Might do a run when I get back. Depends on time.

    Agree on Yoga – before Covid I did loads of classes and I’ll be going back sometime soon. Quite hard to follow some of the YT vids especially if they move between poses quickly. My fav are Charlie Follows, Yoga with Adrianne and (from a recommendation on this thread) Running with Ash.

    So far much of today’s exercise has been sprint intervals to the toilet….tonight’s ride may become a gentle yoga session instead.

    Unfortunately, today is going to have to be my first where I just don’t have enough  energy to even walk the dogs. I have been struggling with a sore throat and runny nose for the last week and knew after my run yesterday morning that I’m not getting any better until I rest and give myself half a chance.

    Last week was crazy busy with work and I made the mistake of soldiering on when I should have taken it easy. I’m disappointed as everything has been going well.

    Day #50 – lovely morning walk with daughter no. 1 and wombat, leisurely 2.6 km in 40 minutes. Turbo session later, 50 minutes at 170w, indicated 25km, I’d meant to do an hour, but cut short by 10 minutes due to friggin’ cramp in the belly of my right calf, nearly jumped off the Wattbike due to how painful it was.

    @munrobiker are you from Penistone??

    Was going to have an easy day today but after some rowing chat with a mate at work I was “inspired” to do a 10km.

    Day 50 – and now we can begin counting down 🙂

    40 minutes of weights this morning and then out for a fairly gentle (Z2) 7km run with the club this evening.

    I “forgot” I’d bought a new running light during the Wiggle/CRC sale so charged it up earlier and tried it tonight. It’s a silva Trail Speed 5XT, which does 1200 lumen for 6 hours or so, but the battery is a bit of a monster for haviung strapped to my head. Thankfully, there’s an extension cable and the option to carry it in a pack. it has a bike bar mount and helmet mount too so it might get pressed into service for riding at some point.

    A smaller-than-usual group tonight as some had headed up Craigellachie instead. I was in favour of a more gentle option after yesterdays exertions.

    Day 51: inspired by all you runners I set off to do my 6km flat road lap from home. First time in 9.5 years!!!

    I went a bit too fast at first and couldn’t face the hill at 5km. Made that in 25mins so not too bad and walked the rest as a warm down.
