47. Yesterday was as predicted. 15k steps with the family out and about.

Interval runs yesterday, gym class mon/tues, PT today. Bit tired tbf!

I was also out on the bike yesterday. Just an hour on the road. Lovely day here dry and sunny, so I waited till it was getting dark and had just a smir of rain.

48. Last day of site seeing today and another 13K steps logged.

50. Gym sesh – 1 hour.

The rain was relentless today. Hoping to get out on the bike tomorrow as we are promised fine weather.

@fazzini – where is that? 

@bonni – first few are from a bike ride in North Tyneside, map below. Last image is from Rising Sun Country Park in Wallsend. Used to be the site of a coal mine, and a hospital for isolating people with infectious diseases!

Day 50 woop woop!!

Today was park run, yesterday was Leeds bike park for an hour or so after work before it got dark. Thursday was walking but didn’t get strava’d. Think that’s up to date, Wednesday was a 5k run if I haven’t already posted that one.

bit of a long check in, as haven’t been posting as regularly as I should’ve.
day 42 – 3 km swim in 61 minutes and walk with wombat later 32 mins for 2.2 km
day 43 – turbo session using wahoo app, 65 minutes 34.2 km and walk with wombat for 30 mins 2 km.
day 44 – eMtb ride, great to be out on a bike, 31 km in 1 hour 52 mins, total blast. EMtb is more tiring than I thought it would be too.
day 45 – London city walk, 4.4 km in 49 mins.
day 46 – another rest ish day, walk along thames 4 km in 45 minutes, going the other way to my normal route along the thames.
day 47 – swim, 2.6 km in 54 minutes, bloody slow swim, walked wombat later 2 km in circa thirty minutes
day 48 – swim 3.04 km in 63 minutes
day 48 – walk in city of London, another rest effort 3.9 km in 45 minutes
day 49 – turbo session 36.55 km in 71 minutes, walked wombat later 2 km in 30 minutes
day 50 – 3.62 km in 73 minutes, felt slow, but checked garmin and I did the 3 km in 1 hour, which was one of my targets to reach, so that’s good. Target for next week is to do a 4 km continuous swim.
good to have reached half way and still be doing this. Have to confess a few days when I’ve gone out for a walk at work, I have to drag myself out. Feels good and is definitely doing me some good, but always a struggle to keep going at the half way point, well for me anyway.

edit good effort @scotroutes on completing the Illuminator Run.

51. A quiet one for me. I procrastinated on a bike ride as it was a bit showery and I wasn’t feeling it, for various reasons. Ended up taking the pooch out for an hour at dusk along the river before the firework displays kicked-off in earnest.

Day 51 ?

Damn I’ve just re read my post today – I have two day 48s !

That’s what happens when you type it up on your iPad whilst eating brekki, mainly trying to figure out what date is what day number whilst scanning Strava, getting it wrong – correcting it and still getting it wrong.

Doh.

managed to squeeze in some yoga yesterday between fireworks & birthday drinks

then got a hungover ride in today, even managed a PR on a very greasy descent

Day 52 (I hope) – swim today 2.98 km as I miscounted the lengths in 59 minutes – woohoo ! Reviewing the lap info on garmin I saw my fastest 100m was 75 seconds a pace I held onto for 400m – got me to believing that if I lost some weight maybe I could actually be quite quick at swimming. Also walked little Wombat for 2.1 km in 35 minutes.

Congratulations to everyone that’s still going. Ironically, it was through attempting the 100days that a fairly major health issue was found, which has stopped me until the end of the year at the earliest. Next time!

Day 52 and just over halfway equals a FTP Test! Considering I had a mare of a week last week I’m really chuffed in having boosted it from 183w at the beginning of this to a nice round 210w. Now to just keep on at it and get that number above my PB of 236w by christmas.

Man flu has struck casa stabiliser so a walk round grizedale Saturday, walk over HOad Sunday, yet another walk round the fell yesterday And karate at night. The youngest has been showing an interest though so cobbled him some little dumbbells from curtain rail and did some “circuits” together, this evening 😎.

@jimfrandisco hope all good.

day 52 – tired, overslept though to be fair to myself overslept in this context means I failed to get up 2 hours early at 5 am to do an hours or so turbo before heading off to work.

Lunchtime walk, 6 km in 1 hour 10 mins.

some yoga after cubs yesterday to de-stress- then a core bodyweight workout last night, considering you cant see them under my das bod, my abs are sote today
