Congratulations to everyone that’s got this far. I sort of dropped out  about 3 weeks ago, although I have been doing stuff pretty much everyday. Lots of long heavy walking for work and loads of dog walks, basically ended up not having much time for proper exercise. I mean, obviously I did have time, but I was struggling as was always bloody knackered after work and then needed to take the dog for a walk….

Anyway, I’ve missed a few days but only really 3 or 4 over the whole thing. i feel better for it all and I’m fitting better in some clothes that were getting a bit tight! 

Bit gutted that I haven’t completed it but it’s put me in a better place physically now, and exercise in the future.

Swim this morning at 8am – was surprising busy at the pool.

Day 100 will be a 35-40min stomp through the mud, after lunch… and thats it done.

hit 81 days, 107 training sessions, 72hours.
no surprise, to me, that my success rate dropped off after the clocks change…. my hike on Friday evening (post solstice) was worth it.

Oh aye, yesterday was concreting  potholes on our drive so 7x barrowing 50-60 kilos 100m up a 10-20% pitch. That DEFINITELY counted!

So that’s a new PB for me, 81 out of 100 completed. Well done to all of those who did the full 100, genuinely don’t know how you keep finding the time and motivation to do it.

98/100 Thanks to all for the pics and posts, it definitely helps with the motivation. Rest days (lack of) and injury were were the biggest hurdles but the two fails came from failing to plan ahead.

Having survived this I’m better prepared for an attempt at 75 hard in February.

Thanks to scotroutes for the inspiration. Happy Christmas.

Well done everyone, thank you for updates and photos.

We are in Norfolk and finished with a trot about.

Have a lovely christmas and New Year

Well done all. Great effort!

I finished off the last few days with some longish dog walks, a hole lot of leaf raking in the wind and some static bike at the gym.

I reckon I was on the 90% mark but went awry due to work and related travel. I’m planning for next year already as I’ve just bought an indoor trainer which, on reflection, I should have done a 100 days ago!

I enjoyed the experience (mostly) and everyone’s posts definitely made it more interesting and inspiring.

Thanks all and have a Merry Christmas!

day 100 was a gentle 10k ride with the kids to the local parks in an effort to tire them out

well done everyone, its not been on easy, i did more late night yogas than i planned, next be year want to try & be a bit more active!

Made it.

Day 100 – my longest swim for a very long time, 2.8 miles (4.52 km) in 91 minutes. My goal was to crack 4km, so super pleased.

Walked Willa later 3.4 km in 48 minutes. Done, done, done. And relax.

Congrats to everyone who had a go at this. It’s harder than it first seems. But bloody great for getting you into a groove of doing exercise every day.

I’ve loved seeing all the pics and stories on this thread. Quietly very inspiring stuff. I leave this thread with a Christmas pic of my companion thats accompanied me on a lot of my activities. Merry Christmas !

Anyone else forgotten to stop? I was just planning my day and realised I didn’t “have” to schedule sports. I will do though.

i am gonna keep going.    never walked much, now i kind of enjoy it for something other than biking.

Anyone else forgotten to stop?

I had Christmas Day off. I’m raging with myself because I always go for a bike ride before everyone else gets up but talked myself out of it. (Stoopid mental crap.) Still, a jolly cold Boxing Day Pudding Run yesterday and a wet, wildly windy walk this morning down the seafront, then we’re off to the pub later to see friends. I’ll leave the car at theirs, then I have an excuse for a longer than normal run tomorrow morning to pick it up. 😁

So it’s not just me then.

I had Xmas day and Boxing Day off, as we had family and then friends over and tbh I’d overdone it on the last swim I did and really needed a rest. Not doing any exercise felt very strange though.

today back on the turbo for an hour and Wombat and I are off for a walk later.

@scotroutes good shout on the challenges, will check those out on garmin connect. I don’t subscribe to Strava if you need that for challenges as it seems you need to subscribe for most stuff in Strava now, which is a pain as I can’t see my 2023 yearly stats, but I’m not subscribing just to see that :) 

Well done 100 club, inspiring stuff.

Sadly committing to 100 days of excercise running up to Christmas is a non starter for me as it’s my busiest time of year for work.  I’m just too knackered as well as lacking the time to commit.

100 days of exercise after Christmas is much more doable for me, so I might chip in here if others are keeping the thread going.

Last couple of days have been long walks up behind the house, on rough pathless heathery bog.  I find that a really good workout compared to walking a path.  There’s a lovely wild feel up there despite being only a couple of miles from the house.

Perhaps, euloch could start a 75 hard challenge thread in Febuary!Difficult time of year mind.

@fazzini cheers, it’s high above Beauly looking down over Loch Nam Bonnach.

Has this thread resulted in anyone else making a change for the good?

Yup, failed miserably before Xmas, but done about 40 of the 43 days since new year & feeling all the better for it, getting a set of rollers to make sure I do 30mins when its been cold dark & wet outside has helped no end.
