I’m still in. Day 30 odd it’s the washing of kit that’s getting to me!

I took this way too seriously a couple of years ago. This time I’m just enjoying it. Sometimes it’s an 80 mile road ride other times it’s a half hour walk.

D34ish

Squats and body weight movements

Just raised the heart rate a little

Given the weather, and I hope those worst affected are OK, I was worried that for today’s activity I’d have to dig out one of Mrs Fazzini’s 90s fitness DVDs 😂. Unfortunately her car broke down, so I had to take mine down to the garage for her to have, and I got to complete today’s activity with a 4 mile walk home.

Still going here. Today was a steady core session due to PT yesterday that left me pretty burst.

D35

More squats

Just another walk for me tonight. Not nice in the pissing rain and wind, I need to dig my big coat out!

Another full week of commuting under the belt; got the car back from the garage, but I’m feeling like I’ve turned the corner in that almost inevitable battle to take the easy option when you look outside and it’s grim. Some serious rain, and flooding up to the bottom bracket in places, but wet shoes dry out. Well, eventually. Like Merak, I’ve got washing everywhere.
Have also been doing 20-30 mins dumbbell reps daily.

Day 35: evening walk round Harrogate in the rain

Day 36: parkrun 

Well thanks to the absolute pillock that mentioned one of Mrs Fazzini’s 90s fitness DVDs, guess what I did today? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Yup. The prime, pillock himself, did one of those DVD workouts. My knees hurt. I also forgot I was getting my hair cut, so a near 8-mile walking round trip to the barbers was completed also. Did I mention I’m a pillock?? 😂

Edit:

Passed the 15km chafe test.

You have to love it when total strangers post pics of their kegs on the internet. 😳😂

36. 50 km on the winter road bike. The tail end of this cold and a light headwind made it tough in the latter stages.

The autumnal Monmouthshire countryside was looking pretty stellar, which was a welcome distraction and, sitting here with a mug of tea, I’m definitely drinking in the type 2 fun.

Just home from an extended dog walk. It’s the best I can manage today, but I did spend some time using the foam roller while watching the football.
It’s just stopped raining here, hoping to make up for it tomorrow.

Had to miss yesterday as zero time due to work, at 6pm still windy and persisting it down so I bailed.   Did push 14 mile run today, way out my comfort zone.   Frustratingly Apple Watch only recorded half (separate thread).  Miffed with watch but happy and vindicated with 14m.

Day 36 – indoor turbo session on the wahoo app, 32.5 km in 61 mins, at a constant 175w.

an hour is the most I can manage on the turbo, even with a tv to watch, music, it’s so dull. How do some of you manage 2 hours on the turbo ?

This week went well (I’m on -1 after missing a day week before last) with the normal running and biking. Two things of note though – one was Boda Borg with the family  – a bit like the Crystal Maze but without Rocky Horror man. Great fun and a good way to leave the real world for 4 hours without entering cyberspace.

The other was Jason Paul’s yt video ranking parkour moves by difficulty. I’ve started a quest with my daughter to master the 23 beginner moves by spring.

Failed to keep it up (ooer missus) but back in the game now & getting swooped on by a macaw* during yesterday evenings run was a first.

* yes a big blue & yellow parrot

Day 37: walked to/from junior parkrun and walked the course for the ‘event day course check’.

1.5 hr round the surprisngly dry trails at Woburn in lovely sunshine

Walk last night then MTB today. I didn’t get that many runs in today but was good to get out.
