It feels/sounds further back than the linkage. I’ve never had the linkage apart but it’s creaked almost since new.

Thanks – that does at least explain why I couldn’t find it.

Even if it’s “not as bad as…” I guess the Talk Sport coverage has advert breaks? My genius idea of listening to it in the small hours of the morning was that I’d either find it interesting (and listen to it) or soothing (so would fall asleep). Adverts would rule out the latter.

Apologies if this has been covered before but how does one listen to TMS these days, particularly in the early morning?I woke up just after 4am today and decided I’d listen to the cricket instead of ‘tropical rainfall with distant thunder’ (or similar) on the phone next to my bed. I tried BBC Sounds 4, 4LW, 4 Extra, 5 & 5 Extra and couldn’t find it. I was sleep-deprived so it’s possible there was some user error. 

I had a molar root canal treatment done on the NHS, She told me at the time that the roots were complex and she wasn’t guaranteeing success. She offered me a referral to a endodontist but said she was prepared to take it on. What should have been 3 visits turned into 5 visits but she thought she’d done it. It never quite ‘settled down’ and she told me that, after 6 months it was unlikely to ‘go right all by itself’ – sooner or later it would be either extraction or re-treatment by endodontist. So off to the endodontist it was and he seems to have fixed it. One thing he did say though was that “root canal treatment is an exercise in delaying extraction“. It may outlive me. I may get 10 years out of it – in which case I’ll be glad I had it done. If it needs pulling in 5 years of less, I’ll wish I’d had it pulled at the very beginning.

only problem I have is occasionally getting a peanut caught in the gap.

^ my main reason for not wanting an extraction – I have a bag of salted nuts pretty much every time I go to the pub.

I have a Citizen Promaster Tough (BN0211-50E) that ticks all those boxes (for me at least). They don’t seem to be available now but it looks like the green one on a strap is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Citizen-Eco-Drive-BN0211-09X-Promaster-Tough/dp/B07W4K7HB4 (although I remember mine being ~£200)

edit – just seen your budget is £100 so this one is out (new at least)

£960??? I wish I’d kept mine now. Sold for £240 in 2016.

(I also sold an SBCJ013 Alpinist for £380 in 2016 – I wonder what that would fetch now)

I’m out.
No big drama or illness – I simply forgot to go out and do something yesterday when  I was working from home and doing ‘stuff’ in the evening.
I’ll still be going for ‘club run’ tonight and I’ll still try to get out for lunchtime walks at work, walk to/from junior parkrun volunteering etc but I’m out.

Day 43: parkrun

Day 44: no MTB (overslept) but went on a guided ghost walk later

At risk of losing track of the days but…
Day 39: club run
Day 40: walk to/from work
Day 41: unnecessary walking round Leeds (with daughter who’s lived there for 2 months but clearly doesn’t know her way around) – I was planning a run when I got home but my legs were battered from the walking so I’m counting it.
Day 42: lunchtime work walk

Tomorrow will be parkrun and on Sunday I may even ride one of those ‘mountain bike’ things I’ve heard about.

Anyone fancy a (short term) job as head of Lukoil?https://uk.news.yahoo.com/russian-oil-boss-becomes-third-171041964.html

Day 38: Walked long way to/from post office.

Day 37: walked to/from junior parkrun and walked the course for the ‘event day course check’.

Day 35: evening walk round Harrogate in the rain

Day 36: parkrun 

Day 34: not going to have time for ‘Thursday night MTB’ so nipped out for a quick short run this morning.

Day 33: walk to shop (further than nearest shop which wouldn’t have been 30+ minutes)

What’s the sizing like on Endura jackets? Interested in the Endura sale as I need a waterproof. I have a 7mesh shower-proof that’s great for packing and using if I get caught in a shower or something but I need something for those lovely evenings when it’s raining as I set off and likely to stay raining all the way round.

I wear XL in most ‘normal’ clothes and the 7mesh is XL and fits great. I guess the obvious answer is to buy a more waterproof 7mesh but I can’t resist a sale!

Day 32: club run – I needed that tonight but wouldn’t have gone for a run if it wasn’t club night.

Day 31: very early walk in the cold and dark (thanks insomnia)

Day 30: walked to/from junior parkrun (and also walked the course as did the pre-event course check)

Surely rest days are as important for increasing strength and fitness as actual exercise itself is?

If you’re doing 100 days if exercise in a row I’d wager a large chunk of that is junk hours/miles/kgs.

Active recovery counts on any given day. There’s no way anyone is going to go flat out for 100 days.The whole point of the challenge is to give you the incentive to go out when you would otherwise stay indoors as the weather and daylight deteriorates. The true testament to the challenge is the increased fitness come springtime.

I’m rubbish at quoting/formatting on STW so who knows how the above will turn out but, as an example, tomorrow I will walk to/from junior parkrun where I volunteer most Sundays. I’ve got into the habit of driving there even though it’s only a mile but this challenge has nudged me to walking there back. So it’s still a rest day after 5k parkrun today but it’s 30+ minutes of walking that I wouldn’t have done otherwise.

Day 29: parkrun (unexpected PB at my ‘home-from-home’ parkrun I’ve done 13 times)

Day 27: mtb (short, solo)

Day 28: lunchtime walk in the rain

Thanks all. In true STW style I’ve read everyone’s recommendations and am now going to buy something else. I was actually looking at the Moon ones when this popped up as a suggestion: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ROCKBROS-Bicycle-Waterproof-Bright-Flashing/dp/B09Y1XDPP6

So I’m going to buy that (not from Amazon though).

Day 25: club run

Day 26: walk to/from shop – not the nearest shop as that’s only 5 mins away but one far enough away to give me a 30min walk. I was only going to the shop for chocolate biscuits but it still counts, right?

MTB ride planned this evening, possibly solo as the rest of them have gone down with the lurgy I had at the weekend.

Day 24: lunchtime walk – I was going to walk to/from work but had a crap night’s sleep so opted to wfh but dragged myself out for a walk.

Day 23: walk to/from junior parkrun 

I fancy giving it a try.

Anyone got an invite code?

Day 22: parkrun shocker – had to stop running after ~1km and walked most of the rest. Even when walking my HR and breathing took ages to come back.

I think I may be going down with some form of ‘lurgy’ – if I have to take some days off the challenge through proper illness I will and then keep going again once I’m OK to carry on (although tomorrow’s plan is walk to/from junior parkrun and I’m reasonably sure I can do that).

Day 19: lunchtime walk

Day 20: run

Day 21: walk to/from work (technically only walked to work at this point but I’m not planning to stay the night)

Day 17: walking round Munich (any fitness gains immediately drowned at Oktoberfest!)

Day 18: Reimer parkrun (Oktoberfest-affected)

Chances of me completing this challenge i.e. doing ‘some’ exercise every day: 51%
Chances of me getting the day numbers correct: 49%

Day 16: on my feet most of the day touristing around Salzburg inc. a hike on Untersberg.

Mine has also arrived but I’ away at the moment. I also have a 10sp (Shimano) road bike which is the one I’m going to use. If anyone has got theirs and knows for sure whether I will need a spacer (i.e. not supplied with it) and the width I’ll get one ordered so it’s there when I get back.

Day 14: walking round Salzburg

Day 15: Hellbrun parkrun, Salzburg

day 9: walk to/from volunteering at jr parkrun

day 10: yoga

day 11: club run

day 12: lunchtime walk

day 13: run before work

Thanks – it’s years since I’ve had a turbo trainer tucked behind the sofa so it was time for a new one.

<goes off to investigate this new-fangled ‘Zwift’ thing he’s heard about>

Day 9: walk to/from junior parkrun again

Yes please.
As it happens I’m out for a meal tonight at a pub that I’m 99% sure* has a collection box for the Buxton MRT so consider that part done.

(and if they no longer have the box, I run with a Buxton MRT member so I’m sure I can find a way to donate)

Day 8: parkrun

Day 6: MTB

Day 7: lunchtime walk

Thanks all. Exposure it is then. Now just a question of which one…
