I’ve really struggled this week so far. All just walks since Sunday’s bike ride. Away for work again, and, well , I’ve struggled. Still in it, just, and I’m determined not to miss any days like last year. Looking forward to tomorrow morning’s walk before work, then getting home tomorrow night. Well done everyone still going, and those making up for missed days etc 👍🏻

53. Similar to fazzini, I’m struggling due to work at the moment. I’ll be working long hours until Tuesday. Just squeezing in what I can. Tonight was just 30 minutes of Pilates with Nicole.

Day 54 – turbo session 37 km in 72 minutes using the bog standard wahoo app at a constant 182w.
Think I might try bkool or Zwift as the wahoo app is dull dull dull
Walked wombat later in the rain; 2.75 km in 38 minutes, she doesn’t like getting wet.
Done for today.

Re the posts above @bonni @fazzini
This challenge is only to do 30 minutes of activity per day – if you’ve done 30 then all good. I know I had to reset my approach and expectations on myself to do this challenge, otherwise I’d get quite demotivated as I get more tired through no proper rest days and end up crashing and burning.

Through this challenge I’m now ok with the days where life / work / family / wombat get completely in the bloody way of me following a fitness program, or my own exercise schedule. And all I get the time or energy to do is walk along the thames, or walk Wombat. Previously I’d beat myself up for not doing something really productive for at leat an hour. And ultimately now I’m actually getting up & out and doing something every day just for 30 mins or so, it’s not setting my HR or the world on fire, but that’s ok.

There is merit in doing something even if it’s low impact, or just easy for 30 mins is what I’m trying very badly to say.

An hour upper body PT today, 30 mins interval runs yesterday. Meant to be biking tomorrow but my boy is poorly so I’ll have to fit in a bit of gym time at some point.

54. Squeezed in a shimmy to the gym. As I don’t have Zwift, I decided to hop on a fancy static bike on a set routine for 45 mins.

TBH it was a bit easy and dull, but it did make me focus on cadence, with various target cadences between 84-93 rpm. Quite a change from my normal sub-65 rpm meniscus grinding ascent of local hills.

chilly night ride tonight

Day 55 – rest ish day, walk along thames near work 5 km in 56 minutes, getting colder I had to wear a jumper.

Just a 7k walk tonight, saving myself for park run in the morning and some.mtb with the boy if I can squeeze him away from revising for mocks…

This week has been a bit of a mix, road rides after work on Monday and Wednesday with a weights session in between, Thursday was a shopping ride and yesterday I managed to finish work by lunchtime so had a lovely ride in the afternoon.
Well over halfway now, great effort from everyone still in the game!

Park run done here to, PB then added and extra 1.8k jogging home as well. Go me!!

Thursday night was30 mins of kata. Took yesterday off work and walked from Broughton Moor Forest up to Dow Crag and OMoC. Original target was Grey Friar but it was fairly icy on the top and so sacked it off. Stunning day though

Today was an hours walk with family down Ulverston canal

24 7 gas station nearby

Well done Colin.

Lots of nice photos from everyone above too.

I got back from the Lakes and have been quite busy and dodging the bad weather. Managed to get out each day though quite a few have been walks or short runs. Did the RIde SHeffield Dig Day last Sunday.

Got out yesterday testing the work

photo from the top of Piper house so not quite the bit we worked on!

Headed out today out to Stanage, very busy in the Peak with the nice weather

@fazzini – thank you, it’s Redmires reservoir, I couldn’t quite find the perfect spot to avoid the straggly small trees in the foreground!

Second time of trying to post this, love the stw site.

day 56 – turbo session wahoo app, 40 km in 75 minutes, which was as much as I could do tbh. Walked wombat later 2 km in 33 minutes. Done.

@scotroutes amazing effort on the 51.5 km run.

loving the pics on this thread.

@scotroutes – Wow that’s amazing. Well done.

Swim for this morning, 1600km or 1 mile in old money. Then about 3 hours of dog walking.

Wanted to get out on the bike today but by the time I had chance it was windy and tipping down so went to the gym. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours helping my mate’s mum move house which involved lifting lots of heavy furniture up four flights of stairs so I recorded it. Turned out to be the second most strenuous session of the week!

Swimming and weights yesterday. Karate tonight.

Well done chaps. Some cracking photos there too.

I’m still chasing my 99 days but nothing exciting to report.
