Day 22: parkrun shocker – had to stop running after ~1km and walked most of the rest. Even when walking my HR and breathing took ages to come back.

I think I may be going down with some form of ‘lurgy’ – if I have to take some days off the challenge through proper illness I will and then keep going again once I’m OK to carry on (although tomorrow’s plan is walk to/from junior parkrun and I’m reasonably sure I can do that).

D22 could/should have started better, a nice lazy saturday morning, veggie brekkie and coffee….. now turns out the kids are over this afternoon for a BBQ!2hrs 34mins to procrastinate, cut the lawn, prep the BBQ and decide on an exercise session – wish me luck.I thought i pulled it out the bag yesterday, staying on at work to use the gym after a rubbish week

Day 22 in the Big Brother house and…
OK. Not really. But I did manage a mud-avoiding 29 miles on the bicycle today. 😁 One of those days when everything was lush and I had a stupid grin on my chops the whole way.

Lovely flapjack in The Cycle Hub cafe too.

I know I’m out for this year

Just go for a walk on Xmas day and call it even 😁

Another hour of weights yesterday and a very enjoyable ride this morning. The weather has been very unseasonal, it was a pleasure to be out so made the most of it and was out for three hours.

Easily the hardest part of doing this is avoiding getting sick.. last year it was flu- was flattened for 3 weeks. This year it’s the ‘vid. Managed 15 days and have just had to rest this week. Looking forward to picking back up when the chest allows.

Just a lunch time walk yesterday, grafting on the house today and just done 30 mins weights and 15 mins kata

Can o’clock!

Most of this week has been Zwift based, so good to get out for a wander up Conic Hill last night after work. Have been struggling with a lack of fitness and motivation since having shoulder problems at the start of the year, so the 100 day challenge is proving a good motivation to build some consistency back into my exercise habits.

22. Off colour this morning, so cycling postponed until tomorrow. I went for a short walk (30-40 mins) to enjoy the balmy weather. Finally did some stretching and pseudo-yoga moves for about 30 mins after the rugby Not great but FoD tomorrow.

How difficult can it be to keep count of what day I’m on! Had a great walk on south coast yesterday on what I thought was D21 – but just read thread and realised it was D22 😀. Out for a road ride shortly for D23.
Nearly 25% done!

Dipped out of this site to a couple of gruellers at work and a stomach bug.

Happy in myself that in getting more than enough exercise though

Had a therapeutic/ cathartic few days in Chesterfield looking after my mum post spinal op. Thursday and Friday were dog walks in Stone Edge quarry, where we spent a lot of teenage time “sessioning” one particular trail and rocky chutes. Yesterday was a run along Curbar and Baslow edges – bit shorter than planned but didn’t feel great so no bad thing. Then walked around Holymoorside rediscovering more trails of my youth and visiting Dad & Dog’s ash scattering spot. Lovely part of the world. Yoga this morning to stretch it all off.

Two hours scarifying the lawn with a rake will have to do for today. Quite a workout!

2hrs on the single speed today. Can’t stop eating but feel like I’ve worked hard for it. Toad in the hole for tea and it doesn’t stand a chance

7k walk Friday evening, MTB Saturday and just been for a run/walk with my wife. Only 4.3k but she’s not been well this week and I’m still sweating like mad and knackered!

Really couldn’t be bothered today but managed some more interval runs + some upper body stuff. Hopefully get out on MTB tomorrow.

Had to exercise indoors today. Flood warning was at RED – Danger to Life level and bit of the town are submerged.

Perfect for your wife’s “dip a day”, though?

Not doing the challenge this year – I’ve got a couple of races coming up, so knew I’d be tapering/recovering and it wasn’t going to happen. But I’m enjoying following along with all your activities, and it’s great to see a few of you are starting to notice real gains from doing it!

And the photos, obviously :)

Day 24: lunchtime walk – I was going to walk to/from work but had a crap night’s sleep so opted to wfh but dragged myself out for a walk.
