2 hours 45 mins on the gravel bike this evening. Im a broken man.

Absolutely nothing today, apart from a walk around site. Only done 4.5k steps.

Having the day off tomorrow and planning a 40 miler on the e bike and maybe a gym sesh. Then hopefully leg powered bike Saturday morning.

We’ll see if any of that actually happens

Alcohol consumption has been cut to almost zero though – doing three months of little to no booze

day 9: walk to/from volunteering at jr parkrun

day 10: yoga

day 11: club run

day 12: lunchtime walk

day 13: run before work

Despite starting to feel much better I had a positive Covid test today!

An hour out on the bike anyway, much harder than it should be but well worth it.

Much more cycling for me this week, which has been a result. The car is in for a service, and needs a sensor replaced which won’t be in until Monday afternoon – so all the cycle commuting and trips to the shops by bike until then at least. A fitness win, and it hasn’t rained very much this week which is a bonus. Even had a puncture yesterday, but while I stopped to fix it, a family of deer just passed by a few feet away as they skipped across a field.

Riding bikes is ace; I just need a little reminder every now and again.

…and a dog walk avec pint….

Didn’t bother with the gym after this one.

Ebike you say? Did the first 29 miles on 15% assist – 50lb+ bike with 2.8 tyres at 18psi. Making a 5yr old 504wh battery on 90% health last 29 miles speaks for itself tbf. Not gonna lie, I smashed the hell out of the second battery 🤣

14. Finally broke the seal on getting out on the bike. About 1.5 hours. Photos lodged on the weekend riding thread

Awesome – hope the Parkrun goes really well!

Still managing a slow walk, just, (sod you CV19)however, I wouldn’t have bothered but for this challenge. Hope the C25k goes well @LAP13 and the Parkrun @jodafett

I’m trying to make Saturday mornings my HT bike ride to keep it real alongside the ebike rides, but after yesterday’s ride I CBA.

Done an hour and 15 weight training in the gym this morning

Day 14: walking round Salzburg

Day 15: Hellbrun parkrun, Salzburg

It’s been said that I have 2 left feet! Today I had 2 right (wrong) feet. Packed my trainers last night and cycled to the Parkrun this morning. Got there and realised I had packed 2 different trainers but both were for the right foot!! Ran my first Parkrun wearing clipless 5:10’s. Did it in 37:46 and was challenged to a sprint finish by a 70yr old 🥳🥳. I claim a success tho 😂

D15

16km Chepstow to Tintern return gravel Greenway.

First time on a bike in over a year so happy

(It’s the husband that rides, I joined STW to stalk him when we first met and stayed 🫣)

Went out for a gentle ride earlier. Was out for an hour but half an hour of that was clearing Storm Angus trail debris. Will need to head back tomorrow with a saw for the bits I couldn’t clear today.

Day #15 – swim 2.7 km in 54 minutes, felt quicker than normal. On Saturday there’s only an hour to swim laps at any kind of pace, before the aqua jogger crew turn up & then later it’s kids family etc.

had to swap swim days as I want to get back out on the bike Sunday early doors.

walked the wombat this evening – 2 km in 32 minutes.

all good and done.

Edit – completely get the approach on easier recovery days, good idea to make them a little bit special.

A nice ride along the river yesterday and a two hour dog walk this afternoon. The weather has been very kind!
Saw a Wheatear this afternoon which is a sure sign that Autumn is here.

skateboard around work yesterday & again today at the bowl+ some basketball with the kids
