    The last four days have seen me hit about 120km on the turbo. I am tired. I’m killing about 1000 kCal a hit and work tempo has meant my food intake has been limited to about two coffees, a food box and some toasted cheese each day. I needed to lose the weight though and that is my primary driver in cycling as much as possible, so it’s all good.

    I plan on resting tomorrow unless I feel like hurting myself more than usual. Maybe I’ll walk around Ikea or something instead.

    Me,a knackered wife and our bikes tucked in behind the sofa. Day one of a 3-day mini adventure.

    Life does not get any better…

    I’m a bit behind on updates…

    The weather has been all over the place, snow one day, minus 10C the next, then +10C today. It’s been hard planning activities!

    It had been proper Narnia-like early Thursday but I’d been stuck at home awaiting a furniture delivery. I did manage to out for a short walk in the afternoon while there was still some frost around though.

    Today was back to turbo duties, riding virtual Mallorca.

    Thursday went to the gym. Did loads more than I thought I’d manage as still feeling shitty.

    Tonight stuck to a long dog walk 7.75k.

    Thursday was an evening run and another run first thing today.
    Yesterday I enjoyed a Poets Day ride in beautiful afternoon sunshine, it was still and warm, a complete contrast to the beginning of the week!

    Down in the lakes for a weekend for a catch up with pals. Arrived in time yesterday for a solo stroll up the Old Man, then a Walna Scar loop today. Got drenched and cold, some pictures of views.

    Forgot to take a pic but had a fun ride on the MTB. Very leafy, a bit muddy, quite slide-y.  And as it’s now ‘hardtail season’ I was reintroduced to my knees and ankles in a way I’d rather had had a bit more notice about 🙂 Still not feeling great so 600m of climbing was quite enough today.

    Can’t decide if I’ll run or ride tomorrow, but I’ll definitely be doing one of them!

    Duplicate posts galore. Can’t be just me getting wordpress errors?

    – I’m getting the WordPress error on every post, but it’s actually posting OK. There’s no need to repost.

    Struggling with this cold/cough/sore throat lurgy thing that I have at the moment. Managed another 7k dog walk in the slop yesterday but I was knackered afterwards.

    I had been busy taking apart a bed then building a new one and fighting with mattresses up and down the stairs though earlier in the day….

    Throat feels a bit better this morning and I’m coughing up some right crap so hopefully it’s on its way out.

    A brief shower, but it’s crazy warm for December.

    Dropping back to sub-zero tomorrow evening though.

    Well I excitedly weighed myself prior to my Zwift session earlier and much to my bewilderment I’ve put weight on. Furious.

    50 minutes on the turbo tonight.

    Started a course on MyWhoosh, but something wasn’t right. Power didn’t seem to registering properly, the course was a bit lumpy but pretty flat really. I was having to put much more power in than it said I was doing. Figured I’d just get to 30 minutes and give up.

    28 minutes and about 95% of the course my knee was hurting so stopped to flex it, started pedalling again and it all seemed ok. Did a second lap 10 minutes faster than the first!!

    4 mile walk yesterday before a afternoon drinking with the old rugby team.

    a slow hung over 10 mile ride today, which felt too far.

    Finished off a very wet weekend with a very wet lap of Grizedale North Face trail. Good fun.

    Day 78: After over 300mm of rain in November  Mrs Reeksy made a very wise call for us to check out a waterfall on the first day of school holidays.

    Ace walk in hot humid forest and then the most refreshing swim I’ve had in a while. 10km total…plus we got to watch a snake eat a frog. Which was nice.

    After the weekend’s activities I woke up with a excruciating pulled muscle (loosely termed) in my left leg. So just some much needed mobility exercises for me today.

    Day 78 – Monday evening 10km club run round Kinrara Estate. It didn’t get as cold as forecasted, though there was a bit of slippy-slidey on wooden bridges.  That’s day 2 of Marcothon too.

    Well I did it. I never want to spend that long on a treadmill ever again. And I managed to open a wound on my knee trying to scratch it while running and instead smashing it against the screen! Still going, Zwift + Yoga last night. I should do some Yoga now but instead I’m off to lie down under a crisp packet!

    I’ve been running the last few days but today was my Mom’s birthday and she wanted to go for a walk. We took the dogs out over the common and was fortunate to see some wild ponies. Mom had a lovely time and we had lunch in the pub.

    Yeah, day 79. Weights and treadmill on what turned out to be a very sleety and windy day. Looks like it’s freezing again too.

    Day 81 here:

    Absolute rookie error this morning. 5.15am – drove half an hour to meet my riding mate for our scheduled singletrack sweatfest. Got out the shock pump to put some air in and realised i’d forgotten my hip pack. Swiftly followed by realising i’d forgotten my helmet too. Bloody annoying. So I rode with her up the steep firetrails to the highest point in the park, left her to enjoy the good stuff and rolled back to the car. Almost 30 mins of riding.

    By the afternoon influenced by another thread, decided i’d punish myself with a hill run, so went out for a short sharp shock on the local trails. 40 mins of running.

    Just about keeping up here although a stuffed back meant it was mainly walks last week.

    exhausted 90 minute walk yesterday was all i could muster.

    25 mile ride today…… steady away and felt better.

    think i may have a virus/bug/cold/something.

    Back on the trainer after a week of in-and-out commuting to Stockholm. Only three sessions this week and Wednesday was a 20km-ish bimble. Tonight I treated myself to Mallorca, again an Easy, just to clear the cobwebs.

    Shame on you sir, shame.

    80km on the winterised road bike today. A new set of  Continental GP5000AS… it felt like I was cheating!

    Really enjoyed it
