Another Zwift interval session 30 mins hard labour.😅

Another home work out, feel I need to step it up a bit to match others on here

@rockbus – active recovery still counts. Your body will tell you when you need an easy day, it’s unlikely anyone can be expected to go flat out for 100 days!
30 minutes stretching or using a foam roller, or a 30 minute stroll around the block. It’s all good!
This challenge is definitely more a marathon than a sprint and the real challenge starts when the nights draw in and the weather turns.

6. Went for 45 min walk to the gym and joined up!

7. 30 min walk then a 40 min gym sesh!

Finished touring week today with a 35m ride home from the Train. Have to start making things up tomorrow.

@scotroutes – well spotted! Yes, I managed to reduce my time drooling in the takeaway window to 20 mins. Progress!

Slight spanner in the works. I took a daft zero speed tumble on the bike yesterday. Fell awkwardly down a slope and managed to get the bike wrapped around my leg! It was a bit sore, but thought nothing of it and carried on round with no real issues. Last night my knee started to really hurt and kept me awake until I took some painkillers. This is the knee I had ACL reconstruction surgery on 10 months ago!

Pretty sure I haven’t bust my ACL again as my knee is still stable, it’s just swollen and sore. I went for a very slow walk this morning and that eased it off a bit and was 40 mins – so I’m still in!

It’s going to clip my wings a bit for at least a couple of weeks I think, but I’m determined to carry on. More upper body in the gym or single leg stuff on the good side for a while.  Maybe some swimming too.

Day 8: parkrun

2 hour road bike ride today, tougher than it should’ve been!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>^ LOL.</p>

I must admit that the momentum and wanting to stay committed to this has seen me doing a longer dog walk after work some days.

Its tempting to go mad as i feel better than i have in ages, but there is still a long way to go.

Well done all for doing the first week in style.

Day 8 (week 2 already!): 45 mins Zwift; total sweatfest. Gentle walk to the shops the long way as a warm down.
No way I’d normally have done that today after a hectic week at work, so that’s something.

Patterdale to Howtown along the ullswater way. About 9k, 2 1/2 hours walking. Ullswater steamer back to Glenriding then a few pints and fish and chips at the White Lion in Patterdale. Noice!

30 min full body workout at the gym today followed by stretching.

@rockbus I’ve toned down what I usually do so instead of a 60 min class I’m just doing half, instead of a long ride I’ll keep it shorter. I usually try to exercise 3 to 4 times a week and there’s no way I could keep going for 100 days without starting a bit steadier as I usually really need my rest days!

8. Had a pretty active day with domestic chores, but still got in a decent 5 kn walk and some yoga/stretches.

Very nearly had a fail today, got so caught up in doing other stuff that I didn’t remember I hadn’t done anything to qualify until 23:30! A quick Pace Partner ride on Zwift has saved the day (it’s pissing it down outside otherwise I’d have gone for a walk).

Seeing as it started on Day 8 I’ll count it.

I’ve decided to not too hung on this as I have in a previous year. Not logging to Strava etc as I know I’ve got a lot going on at the moment, and I don’t need the mental pressure. However it has been a good background motivation to move more as July and August were pretty lacking. So far I’ve done:

Day 1: Took my Dad out on his new e-Mtb

Day 2: walk with my Mum

Day 3: walk with p20 after work – not sure if this was really half an hour of walking but he’s got long covid so it’s about being outside together

Day 4: weights session and walk with p20

Day 5: swim and walk with p20

Day 6: cycle to work (my default is the train so an hours cycle counts for me)

Day 7: weights again

Day 8: local mtb ride (was feeling the fatigue)

Day 9: longer walk with p20 (hopefully).

Day 9: walk to/from junior parkrun again
