Same here, similar symptoms to those on the man flu thread. Did manage an extended walk on day 1 when I was out getting lemsip but nothing yesterday. Hoping I’ll be ok for a ride later.
I’ve had that stupid cold for a week. Think it’s pretty much done now.
Anyway, early start for me today as I’m going away on the motorbike for 5 days. Thought I’d get a strength session in first thing before setting off, then aim to do short walks every day whilst away. Not great at early starts these days!
Also adopted a “work” workout for Day 2 – left the office early, thought about the gym and then opted for an hours digging/hedge lopping in the sunshine. Lower back a bit tight this morning.
I joined the strava club and I am on my way! Two 30+min walks on days 100 and 99 and a 35min commute this morning (return journey to follow this afternoon).
Glorious morning to be out! 30 miles on the gravel bike. Definitely a “jour sans” – the legs felt pretty hollow but it was nice to be out and the hills were big. Saw a massive, unnibbled fly agaric and a kestrel which was nice.
Day 3: another run/plod a smidging over 5 k this evening. Son 2 accompanied me on my bike which broke the monotony of my size 11s hitting the tarmac. We tried wheelies on the way back. Ace!
Still managing my two lots of exercise a day despite illness. Good blast along the Tees last night listening to The Jam seems to have driven out some bugs.Sports Science lecture at the Arc beforehand also provided food for thought.Not struggling with drinking a gallon of water a day either.About time I knocked down my Caffeine habit anyway.
I’ve had a sore back since midday Monday, but it doesn’t seem to affect my running so I’ve been doing that, including a short run at lunchtime today. And this evening I went to the doctor’s, and apparently I have shingles… hopefully I’ll be able to carry on running, although with an unpleasant rash on my back I’m guessing any long mountain runs with a backpack are out of the question 🙁
I’m not doing it, but I’m not, not (if that makes sense). So far three evenings in a row on zwift has me mulling over lunchtime runs or a mini circuit session for variety.
Weekend is going to be tricky, I’m away Saturday meeting mates so will have to squeeze something in first thing in the morning, Sunday I’ll be trying to score back brownie points for having a whole night away.
Out before the sun could be bothered to peep out the clouds. 22 miles on the XC bike this morning. Two big climbs, some great descents and the trails are still dry, felt much better and stronger than yesterday. The robins are getting more prominent now, and there were more roe deer out. Loads and loads of grouse too.
So yesterday I was feeling pretty underwhelmed with myself. Still taking it steady due to covid recovery etc and almost felt like I was ‘ticking a done box’ with my days activity.
Today I have muscle aches in all the right places. Who would have thought it. It’s actually motivated me more than I was expecting tbh.
A bit time-crunched today but managed 30 minutes of weights plus 30 minutes on the turbo. The latter failed to upload though, so did it really happen 🙂
I’ve been recovering from a virus (again) at the start. So, just some light football practice on days 1 and 3. And some mild grooving at a gig on day 2. I’m feeling nearly better now; thanks for asking 😉
I was lucky to finish at lunchtime today so made the most of my free afternoon with a three hour road ride to see the parents. Block headwind on the way there, followed by an easy spin back.
