    be interesting how its going to be come October 12th Luke 😀

    I’m going to give it a bash – the little one will be 7 weeks by then.

    Did marcothon last december which was 5k a day – there was a tough patch about 2 weeks in where it was tough .,…but after i got over that hump i just got quicker and quicker in my 5ks …. consistancy is a huge thing

    you know it doesn’t start until the 16th?

    Must read more carefully.
    Ah well, 2 weeks head start is OK, right?

    Don’t fancy putting every activity I do everyday on here, Keeping it simple, this is my plan and will post updates once monthly maybe, but would be good motivation to read others now and again

    Monday: swim
    Tuesday: bike
    Wednesday: walk/hike
    Thursday: run
    Friday: bike to work
    Saturday: walk
    Sunday: bike

    For those that are interested I’ve made a Strava club for those taking part. Otherwise, feel free to update here as and when you fancy.

    I’m on holiday next week, we are every year – it makes the start awkward as I won’t have a bike with me but I’ll get on with it!

    Looks like I’m kicking it all off with a couple of hours’ kayaking. Well, I am on holiday!

    Then a week of running. Eugh.

    Looks like I need to read more thoroughly, I’m 2 weeks in as well!
    Schedule is roughly
    Monday: yoga
    Tuesday:ride/run
    Wednesday:hike/run
    Thursday: ride
    Friday: hike/run
    Saturday: ride/run
    Sunday: ride

    Counting a hike as anything I put walking boots for and raise my heart rate. Regular dog walks aren’t counting! It’s going to be tricky as we have a couple weddings to go to in the next month and some real busy weekends but see what I can fit in

    Oooh, I’ve seen this thread just in time 😊

    I’m in… Need some motivation as I was doing this in the spring and it’s fallen away with holidays and summer and wine 😔

    Great way to honour your friend, thanks for including us!

    I’m getting involved with this. My idea is to alternate days between indoor strength exercise and outdoor cardio (bike/run or perhaps replaced with indoor swim/bike later in the year). Will see how I get on!

    Started of with a swim, I think the trick for me will be a bit of diversity and to not go all in. Awfy prone to injury and it doesn’t help that I tend do the same type of exercise repeatedly.

    EDIT – does that photo work for anyone other than me? Imgur was being a dick.

    Had a hundred mile weekend and now have a cold, but I can’t really start by giving myself the night off can I…

    Might dose up on cold capsules and go for a short run later…

    The boy has decided he wants in too so we’re just back from an hour loop around the woods after school. Going to mix it up with some old school circuit training and alternate between road/MTB/gravel rides to keep things fresh. Really glad he’s into this.

    Well done everyone, great start even if it is just a brisk walk to ease you into it.

    3 hours paddling down some rapids for me, I’m hooped 🤨

    Does the Strava group just include bike stuff?

    Hmmm, looks like it does only include riding. I’ll see if I can fix it but I’m not able to get to a computer for a week.

    I’m in with a steady 11.5 on the mtb. I’m really in need of a challenge like this so hopefully, we will all help each other stay motivated.

    Is there a Strava group?

    what a brilliant idea – can I join in?

    Trying to find the motivation to get off my arse and do more but I am struggling.

    I’m late to the party (as ever) but I’m planning on giving this a go.

    Sometimes the commutes are pretty short at about 15 minutes each way but I’m going to count two of them a day as my half hour when I need to 😁

    Someone came on our club run last week, December 31st will be the last day of his ride every day for 2 years. That’s been a mix of road and turbo with not a single day missed. It was a new years resolution that was to last 2 years when most people struggle with 2 weeks.

    Oi!
    That’s no punishment, I’m gorgeous me…

    And I did my exercise last night, missus was out so I improvised a sort of circuits thing in the garage/Garden: Random reps on punch bag, kettle bells, running up and down steps, push ups… bugger all structure but strangely good fun…

    Forgot about this. Fortunately did day 3 of the Cairngorm Loop yesterday and here’s incentive for a much needed Yoga stretch off tonight.

    A longer hillier and frankly nicer (only 10km) ride home last night which was hard work through long grass. Followed by 6km treadmill run this morning. Main reason I’m at 14000steps for today.

    Plan: Mon 10km ride
    Tues run (maybe strength work)
    Wed fun ride with the boys
    Thurs repeat Tues
    Fri long ride for fitness
    Sat/sun fun rides
