Cheers folks. I’ll look into the tablet route as we could probably do with an newer one.

I like the look of those Teravails. I was thinking about trying the Goodyear County as they look fairly slick.

Bricking it now.

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one 😂

Love the second last photo Scotroutes but not jealous in the slightest!

@munrobiker Love your photos, you seem to frequent some of my regular loops!

I did a 65k lap from home down the A7, across to Temple and Gladhouse reservoir and back home via the Peebles road. Lovely day for it.

Here’s to the next 50 🍻

So tempted to sign up to this

Just go for it! You know you want to!

I’ve had stomach cramps since Saturday night so I’ve stuck to beginners yoga. Nearly gave it a miss tonight but glad I stuck at it!

@turboferret I can’t see an issue with it at that time in the morning but would watch for the neighbours!

On another note, after starting running in lockdown I managed my first half marathon distance on Friday. Did it in 1hr 58 which is lame compared to TF’s effort but I’m chuffed.

I wouldn’t mind but I had a carbon Diverge last summer and the bloke I bought it off missed it and asked to buy it back and like a knob I agreed. Wish I’d told him to sod off now 🙄

Gutted!

im signed up, just the excuse i needed to get some new bits for the bike

I’m thinking I might need more gears but I know nothing about them! Currently run 1x with a 38T chainring. Would it be better converting to a 2x to pick up speed on the road sections?

Good to see more on board!

Good luck with your prep!

I’ve not got to that bit yet. No idea how to train for something like this!

oh and get my hands on a gravel bike too.

That would be a good start 😂

Superstar Nanos with a pair of 5 10’s is all you’ll ever need.

Oh, and maybe a pair of shin guards for when you slip off them….ouch!

Struggling today due to being up all night with a sore stomach! Any ideas on a gentle 30min session? Does stretching count as that might be all I can manage.

watching this thread with interest.

So am I 😂

I don’t have much spare time either due to kids etc but I’ll give it my best shot!

Thats me signed up to it! Anybody else taking the plunge?

I was fully supportive from the sofa whilst drinking wine

@ahsat Prosecco Pilates – Impressive!

Weather for the next three days looks challenging.

50mph winds is putting me off my riding plans!

Cheers @mogrim. I’ve signed up to a duathlon in March so we’ll see how that goes!

I’m seeing a huge difference in my fitness! I’ve just completed my first half marathon distance. It took me just under 2hrs which is seemingly below (just) the average time so I’m chuffed with thatNo let me see. A couple of turbo sessions, a ride round Caberston and another run so far this week. Weather not looking good for the weekend so might do some indoor stuff.

Yup, I could have sworn Day 41 was last week! Still enjoying it tho, so that’s the main thing!

Are we nearly there yet?

I’d never buy anything other than Exposure lights. My first Diablo went through the washing machine and still worked perfectly (until I lost it!!)

A run round the block yesterday. First one since 9th of Oct but managed a 7k with no hip pain so quite chuffed. 90 mins on the turbo in the shed today, another first in a long time!

If your hike was around Tesco then fair enough, but out in the countryside, **** ’em!

Exactly!

Looking at the many nice pictures above makes me realise how limited my options are.

I’m back to jumping around my kitchen and running round the block tomorrow so don’t worry about it!

Sea kayaking on the last day of our holiday today. Back home tomorrow and going to try my first run in a while as I hurt my hip a few weeks back! Loving this exercising that much I’m seriously considering entering the Frontier 300 to really push my limits! Considering the longest I’ve raced is part of a trio at the Glentress 7 I may be pushing it 😳.

Unless you’re currently horrifically unfit you’ve got loads of time.

I’ve never been fitter but I’ve never been very fit! It’s sitting on the bike for that length of time that’s worrying me the most! How do you get used to it without sitting on a bike for 24hrs?

I’ve only got a dumb turbo so any training tips would be welcome! I think I’ve made up my mind to give this a go so apologies in advance if I ask a lot of dumb questions over the coming months!

We’re staying at Camisky so my son (11yr old) and I tried to go from there over towards Gairlochy (ish) but we were running out of light and it was very ‘stop, start’ due to the mud so we turned back. If we’ve time this week we might give it another bash but it’s been slightly wet today so it’s probably a lot worse now!

Still going! On holiday in Fort William for the week but missed a day when we arrived so did a double the next day. A slopfest bike ride along some of General Wades military road yesterday and an hours walk in the bucketing rain today. Cycle at the Nevis Range tomorrow with some kayaking on Thursaday planned so far!

It’s not so much the fitness but more the ‘aches and pains’ of being on a bike for so long that makes me doubtful!

If I keep reading @johnnystorm’s answer then I’m just going to sign up to it 😂

Has anyone tried the 10,000 kettlebell swings workout?

No. Sounds painful, but tell me more…

FTFY- No. Sounds painful, but don’t tell me more… 😱

My wife and 8yr old did the green in the summer and found it fine. We all did the blue which is one of the most boring rides I’ve ever done. Mostly fire road with one trail at the mid point. It’s a fun trail and my daughter loved it but I had to push her up some of the steeper bits in the first half.

Less midgies at least!

I’m going to take it a bit easier this week as my sleep pattern (which had improved at the start of this) was terrible last week. Wide awake at 3am and not getting back to sleep! 2 hour walk with the kids today and Pilates or walks for the rest of the week I think!

@root-n-5th Superb, well done!

1.5kg in the first week but I have extremely inconsistent scales so we’ll see if it stays off!

Cheers @sirromj

There’s still 76 days to go!

When you put it like that slowing down makes sense!

Went for a run today and ended up running 10 miles! That’s the furthest I’ve ever run by far! This exercise malarkey’s definitely got its plus sides. A couple of HIIT sessions, a ride and another run earlier in the week.

Just noticed this thread so I’m going to jump in. I’ve lost 10kg since last Christmas but I’ve been stuck at the same weight since mid August. I’ve been exercising more than I have ever done in the past but just can’t seem to shift the next 5kg that I’d love to lose! Any tips welcome.
