  Blast round the local country park on the XC bike, sort of hill reps, 4 times up the hill with different descents each time.

  Strava only says 36 minutes moving time, but I was out for 50 od minutes and didn’t stop apart from when I had to turn round cos the trail was too over grown! Need to check my settings…

  Hoping to get out off road tomorrow.

  Another Zwift training session today although unexpended it by 30 mins to get another route badge.

  Actually feeling a positive benefit now from all this activity, mainly in my endurance which has been a real weakness for me for a good year. Keeps the motivation up to build on that!

  Slooow 5k tonight. Everything hurts!

  Tomorrow and Friday might have to be extended dog walks, so my legs recover for park run on Saturday. It’s a special one as one of the marshalls, a lovely old guy that’s been doing it for years died last week.

  12. 30 mins of Beginners Pilates with Nicole. Confirmed what I knew from doing yoga videos: I am about as flexible as a fridge-freezer.

  Given the weather tonight an indoor session was necessary, dusted off the turbo, fired up the drum and bass and only just  managed half an hour. I hate the turbo.

  Day 12 – had to take today as a recovery ish day. Lunchtime Walk along the thames 4.3 km in 47 minutes.

  you know it’s funny, without this challenge I’d keep working, taking calls etc and work straight through all day. But for these 100 days, at lunchtime ish I just get up, walk out the door and go do something for at least 45 mins. The minds a strange place sometimes.

  No wombat pics today.

  @walowiz – I think I said in a previous post that doing the challenge in the past gave me the incentive to walk into town, shops etc and that change of routine has sort of stuck with me. Hopefully it will have the same effect on you!

  
  @bonni – thanks. I might give that a go on the next “slack” day.

  Win win, I’d say both the exercise AND taking a proper break from work are good habits

  Realised I got my days wrong – 11 should have been 12.

  Anyway, took our chances with Agnes and got lucky – 15.3 miles, 2000ft, 1hr 49 mins on the eeb. Was steady away with my leg powered mate, so I turned the power down to 20% assist, 50% peak power

  Well days 8-12 were a complete write-off due to some horrible flu-like thing I’ve had. Managed to walk the dog and that was my lot, even then it was only because my other half was even worse than me!

  Back to it today with a 45 minute pootle on the MTB. Nothing strenuous as everything is hard work still.
  Onwards and upwards!

  Get well soon @fazzini.

  Out on the bike after work Tuesday which quickly turned into a night ride.

  Trot about after work last night, it was very mild. The storm was very underwhelming in the Peak.

  Today rootled out on the commute bike and heading out bouldering later. The weather seems very dull and humid again today.

  Up and down a ladder all day has aggravated my hip so just a focused stretching for me. 45 minutes and I feel much better.
  Going to be an extended dog walk in a little while.

  We had the remnants of Storm Agnes going through today so the planned evening ride has been changed to another Zwift training session. Will be out on the bike tomorrow though and a walk up a big hill is planned for the weekend too.
