First run of week 5 of C25K – knocked the warm-up and cooldown walks off so I have enough time to do some bodyweight strength bits and pieces. As an unexpected bonus, without the added ten minutes of walking, my pace has improved somewhat! 🙂

Well my 100 days went to shit on about day 5! I’m gutted, but my head just hasn’t been in the right place and I was just putting additional stress on myself to fit stuff in that I really didn’t want to do. I’ve been limited in what I can do recently by injuries (Achilies) & illness (Gout) and just going for a walk was litterally a pain. New bike mean’t I had some enthusiasm, but you can’t always fit in a decent ride.

I missed a day then carried on, then missed another day, then my achillies tendonitis came back, my gout had got loads better with the meds but has come back again this week, so I’m just hobbling around, andI can’t even fit any of my bike shoes on my left foot!

Really pissed off, but I’m determined to lose some weight and get more exercise. I’m currently on a vegetarian and no booze diet to try and combat the gout, so hopefully that’ll help.

Anyway, good effort the rest of you. Keep going. 💪

@stanley hope that you’re OK mate.

@Dickyboy cheers for that. I’ll try that when I can start running again. A few years ago I never would have thought I’d actually miss running!!!

Went for a half hour run in the rain after finishing work. First day of bad weather, but still good to get out.

Second fail day today, had a really long day at work followed by a really crap commute home so motivation is non-existent. Going for a ride tomorrow morning though so back on it ready for the next week. I’m going to still aim for 90/100 as my goal as going from virtually 0 to 7 days a week straight is probably a bit too tough, hopefully I can keep things going though as I’m losing weight and feel loads better generally.

I’ve done nothing since Monday, knocked sideway by covid (again). Tried walking the dog yesterday, did 30 minutes and had to go back to bed.
Fingers crossed it clears up in the next couple of days.

That’s your half an hour sorted Stanley.Probably the best effort of the day!

I’ve missed two days due to covid… actually got out of bed today at least.

Gutted, but will hopefully get back on it this weekend. Some odd aches and pains mind….

Not posted an update yet so I thought I’d chuck something in. I’ve settled into a bit of a routine now. I try to get a couple of zwift rides in at the weekend. A couple of days during the week. And make up the rest with either weights or bodyweight exercises. Or both.
I’ve been limited in what I can do by the recovering shoulder. And my fitness had taken a bit of a nose dive. To try and keep the whole thing in check I’ve been trying to keep the riding intensity steady, and build back up.
Today was the first day my legs felt a bit worn out. I’d been planning to have a gentle day anyway, so I had a 30 mins walk with the family, and then 30 minutes on the balance board.

Day 16, turbo session using wahoo system app, 23 km in 51 min, working up to an hour along with the physio rehab stuff. Also two sessions of my boring boring physio exercises.

Am I the only one starting to feel the cumulative effects of doing this every day?

Running the line at my daughter’s match against a very good team…90 minutes of interval training!

@jeffl – try something from Kassandra on YouTube. She has a number of beginner level videos. Also don’t be too disappointed if you cant manage to get all the way into some of the poses. She often gives alternatives and you’ll find some of them become easier with practice.

I did Zwift Academy workout 4 this morning. Again, I did the long version and I think it was about right. I have Workouts 5 and 6 and then the final ride to do before the 9th so that’ll fill in a few days this coming week.

Day 16 – Dad and lads mooch around Healey nab, did about 90mins including pedalling from car and back to it. Wrist is a bit achey, hoodlums riding proper off road bikes illegally put me off staying any longer. Riding on the trails and without helmets with a big noisy motorbike strikes me as being a tad dodgy and I’d rather keep my bike to myself.

Side note, can I request that everyone who puts an entry for their day start it if as Day xx please? I’m using this as a log for each day and it just makes it easier to see which day I’m in haha

Another 35 minutes in the river at lunchtime today. The water was cold but the sun was shining so I sat drinking my flask of tea afterwards with my wetsuit round my waist and my (puny) chest catching some rays.

62 minutes using my local outdoor gym.Lovely day for it.Could have done without the youths starting a fire however.So could the fire brigade.

Day 99 – sorry @keefezza! and apologies in advance @welshfarmer as your not going to like my post! I started this at 94.5kg and I’m already down to 89.9kg (yes I’m using decimal places!). I suffer from MILF issues (medication induced lifelong fatness) so I put on weight really easily. I battled down to 79kg last Christmas but as soon as I let exercise drift the weight piles on. 15kg weight gain in a few months is scary! Aiming for 85kg by Christmas. A few Zwift sessions this week. I’m doing the Gravel Grinder 12wk program so hopefully this’ll keep me focused ’till the end!

Just walking today after a sizeable night out last night, 12k steps around town.

Day 17, nice long 3 km swim in 68 minutes. Went really well for most of the swim, last 200m were like swimming through treacle.
Still managed to keep all my sessions on this 100 day thing in the lower HR zones (zone 3 118 to 134) as I figured this will prevent me over doing it and so far it’s working.

Some great pics on the Strava activities.

Day-17?

this morning im taking the mtb out to see if the rain has made the dust settle
then a gentle leg stretch of a walk later on.
