I’ve been suffering with Sciatica all week so not an ideal start!
Did a very gentle 22 miles on the road which followed by an extended dog walk along the river.
Today has been some gardening this morning followed by another longer than usual dog walk.
My Sciatica feels a bit easier and the dogs are very happy!
Hopefully get back to running this week.

A gentle spin to and round the local park this morning, nothing strenuous but perfect Zone 2 stuff. Was heaving with runners all trying to get out and beat the rain forecast at 10am so wasn’t calm like it normally is. Was going to do a FTP test this afternoon but that will be tomorrow now as I’ve got a bit of pain in my left leg, nothing bad but don’t want to aggravate anything this early into the challenge!

22.5k xc ride with my son. Would have gone a bit further but he wasn’t as enthusiastic as I was about adding in a couple more hills. TBF I had promised I’d take him to greno woods. Might do that after work/school tomorrow .

Got stung on the back of my neck by a wasp on the ride as well!!

Couple of hours at band rehearsal (I move around a LOT so the dancing counts!)

20 and a bit minutes doing some active movements and yoga all mixed in whilst listening to the recordings from this morning so I’ve done the 30 mins or so, in my own way!

5 mile walk into town yesterday.    for beers.     i dont walk anywhere, so this morning, i couldnt hardly move.

10 mile leg loosener today was enough.

Leisurely 2.5 hour cafe ride with the club this morning, 2 hours gardening this afternoon.

Walk up the moors for me today, decent amount of climbing so good enough.

2/100

20 minutes of gym work tonight. Not the full half hour but I’ve been pottering all over the place on the bike today which will make up for more than half hour exercise.

Can slack types like me join late? I have two days in hand….

Only 49 mins ride and back to the shop on Saturday, but today was a good 3 hours (moving time) winching up and descending in the FOD.

We’re on a Scotland trip so Day 1 was a couple of hours at Dunkeld to break up the journey. Day 2 was Heartbreak Ridge, Mastermind and Pannanich Woods.

Yesterday I swam with my youngest for over an hour, I forget how much swimming works the body. Today, I was going to do my usual chuck in a ride for 30minutes but the weather is grim, so I’ve taken a plunge into yoga with Adriene.  First 30minute session okay, I can see how it can work, so will keep at it.  A few core exercises and push ups later will round out the day.

100 days of exercise may already have tweaked my daily routine 😀

Day 1 walking round Edinburgh with grumpy kids
Day 2 First trip to Tarland, albeit on the ebike.

Tonight, Peloton, might do some core classes

Circuit training for me today.

Uplift day at BPW today. Not home yet, on a halfway pitstop.  I’m absolutely rinsed, so that’s my effort for the day!

3. Just managed 45 minutes brisk walk up and over a small ski hill after work. The blueberries have gone and so have the mushrooms. Still, on the way down I eyed up some possible bike lines for next summer. Not even classed as cheeky here.

Late to the party but I’ve let things slip recently.

So Day 1 Gravel bike local loop, 40 mins.

Aim to run at some point this week too.😬

32 minute walk completed.   this might seem nothing, but when you have spent your whole adult life sat on a push bike, walking is a very painful and strange thing to do.    oh, and at 20 stone, it is hard as well.

Day 3 – so early in the challenge, and it’s working. If I wasn’t on this thread I would have sat on the sofa all night after driving to work and back.
But I had a reason to go out, so 3.1 miles running slowly round the local woods.

Just done a Ramp Test on Zwift ready for starting the Fondo plan. A measly 183w, miles down on my PB of 263w back after the first STW Race Series!

But then this challenge is all about building that back up so it’s all good. Thankfully this plan allows for outside rides as an endurance builder and for recovery so I’m not going to be stuck staring at the TV all the way through!

Day 3: Had a fight with the black dog and nearly laughed the whole thing off. Ate chocolate and calmed down for an hour then did a stretching set I’ve been working on  – 12 stretches held 1 minute per side and 3 flow sequences. I can’t say I feel better for it but at least I’m still in the game.
