You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Lunch run (nearly 5k ish) will do a bit of kata tonight to make up the missing 5 mins
1st mid week evening ride for a few weeks. Easy in the warm autumn sun!
3 mile walk for me today.
Ok, just seen this. Bit of a late joiner as Ive been out with my dawg for a couple of hours - which I'm counting on this occasion as I only got back home from the middle of a desert a few hours ago, and not sure which way is up.
As for once around the block for a dog walk... blimey my hound would have chewed my leg off out of frustration long ago if he only got 30 mins on a lead. Anything less than 90 mins chasing pheasants or a toy thrown into water each day and he's a complete PITA.
I'm in.
I think I completed it last year but I honestly can't remember.
Had a big bereavement last Christmas day and it knocked me. Stopped exercise, stopped most things. Started a new job January and just about managed to keep it together enough. Outside of that, it's been just getting the kids around to their things on autopilot. Hadn't run this year until a couple of weeks ago but I've started again now.
I have a lot of things I need to sort out but exercise and good habits usually put my head in a better place so I feel I need to do this. Hoping and expecting it to help.
First day done with a half hour morning run, up and down 4 hills and round a lake.
1/100 my first run since the spring
forgot to press start on my Garmin so had to run an extra k taking it to 6km
painful
one down......
after realising that 90mins on a Wed and similar on a Thurs were really taking their toll, i decided to strictly limit myself to 30min sessions, so started with an hour out on the bike, doh.
Day 1 done
A steady 9.5 miles on the leg powered bike, clocking an hour and a quarter of moving time after work.
Possibly wouldn't have made the effort if I hadn't decided to do (attempt) the challenge, so a positive already
I did a 30 minute bodyweight/condition session with Mrs S this morning, a one hour walk this afternoon and 76 minutes on the turbo this evening. I'd have rather been out and about on the bike but I had to be at home most of the day.
Mrs S checking for beavers

It was a bit of flippant text on my part - mine gets considerably more than that! I just meant that for me, you need to go a bit above and beyond your usual walk (however long that may be) for it to count.
Anyone else geeking out? 🤣
I doubt I'll do much with the info, but it might make me more regimented. Thought about adding more info - HR/Zones etc, but as I'm not training seriously thought it would be a pointless exercise.
I'll delete it in a couple of days when I fail and miss a day...
I can’t imagine I’ll do another 99 in a row at same volume but a good start :
Thought about adding more info - HR/Zones etc,
Wear a smart watch, try to remember to record each activity, more data than you could possibly want will be recorded
I'm not doing it strictly but my son did persuade me to go out for a ride tonight. What I would like to do is ten or 15 minutes of stretching every day to improve my flexibility.
To my surprise and delight, the gym was ridiculously quiet tonight, got a decent workout in and had time and space to get a decent stretch as well.
One hour along the Tees on my Leccy bike(I know,but it was windy and I have asthma!).Oh and 10 minutes going around Gex testing an electric scooter.Terrifying it was.
Good luck all.

I do, which is where I get my heart rate into etc from and also have various apps.
The spreadsheet is just a snapshot of recording my 100 days - and will hopefully help me stick to it
Anyone else geeking out?
Well I wasn't until this... 😀
Bit damp here so went with 40 minutes of resistance training courtesy of MTB Fit
Barbell squats
Pull ups
Single leg RDL's
Barbell glute bridges
Timed wall sits
Followed by 40sec on 20 off for 10 minutes on the bike.
All while extremely hungover. 🤮
I do include morning dog walks as I don't normally do them in the week. As long as I have no meetings before 0930, can squeeze in a 5km hike with the two mad mutts.
Ride or Gym tonight. Depends how much it rains today!
How people exercise whilst extremely hungover is beyond me.
20 min stretch and conditioning followed by 70 mins gentle Z2 ERG workout on Zwift on Wattbike.
Not getting geeky at all.

Tonight's easy off roader has been cancelled, I may nip out early for a solo lap of the park. Tomorrow's pub ride is missing from the club app as well.
2 hours in the rain...... it was pretty nice to be honest.
i do kinda like autumn and winter.
40 minute gravel spin yesterday and back to the gym for barbell club tonight to get me off the mark.
Cause I know that a workout will sweat the hangover out of me! 😆
To hell and back on the ebike (work) a lumpy hour each way.
8000 steps today, who'd have thought trave was so active.
Couple of hours on the ebike today
Stretching and weights.Like to push it more but what can you do with this virus?
Half hour sunrise jog through the woods in the rain. Day 2 done.
I’m out. Failed at the first. Done nothing today.

No, you're still in, you just missed a day, no need to give up.
Yours, sincerely, a person not taking part.
Short ride on the road bike, and god I was slow 🙂 Combination of a head cold, I haven't been out on the bike for nearly a month, and the aftereffects of the ultramarathon I did the week before last all seem to have done me in. Still, it was lovely weather for it, and I'm glad I went out. Presumably the next ride will be a bit faster!
An hour of weights in my gym (mostly arms) and then a hill reps session with the running club tonight.
Day 2/100 ticked off. 2 commutes, not as extended as I'd have liked. Evening brisk dog walk of 40mins. I know some on here won't count either of those, but I am.
Keep going peeps. Only 98 to go!
This thread needs a few more pics to keep us motivated ...
Tonight's dog-walk:
Looks like it will have to be a few laps of regents park on a Boris bike for me tomorrow.
Went for a MTB ride. Drizzly and some variable grip. I found a perfect point where tired tyres, moist trail and - probably - rusty technique came together to have me off. Not on the recently healed shoulder but still went down like a sack of spuds! Still another 1000+ active calorie day and a beer to finish.
Gym circuit and pilates tomorrow. Can't wait 😉
Hill Running Wednesdays
I’m out. Failed at the first. Done nothing today
nah just look up a yoga vid or something on YouTube
ive used this app in the past too, very easy to follow
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=homeworkout.homeworkouts.noequipment
or just start again tomorrow
ive just finished a bodyweight and kettlebell workout in front of the telly , it just has to be 30 mins+ of activity
Day 2 was a very intense garage gym session and a walk to work. Trying to shake a head cold.
Day 3 dawn mtb ride 
with some hard charges. Dry and getting towards dusty.
Day 2 was an early kettlebell 20mins, quite enjoying the difficulty of KBs.
Then 5km jog with fungi collection. Chanterelles, hedgehogs and some ceps. Probably last of the year but made a tasty simple pasta tea.
Early run done
45min box class this morning. Not hungover this time.
Nice one @Kimbers - thats exactly the app I've been thinking I need.
Just been for a lunchtime walk, an intentionally easy day. Walked for 55 mins, barely 8k steps. Forgot how long it takes for 10k which is a daily minimum for me if walking.
In again this year! Still going from last year, it was completely transformational for me - had started training before but it has been a huge part of shifting over 4 stone. Doing something every day is a non-negotiable for me now.
So far for the new 100 days I've done weights + MTB ride up Tinto, walked a couple of extra tram stop and a gym session + 9 holes golf.
Day 3 done. 22mins weights/stretches in the garden first thing this morning. 1 hour 20 mins on the HT at lunchtime hooning around the local woods!
Day 3 done, 2.5k outdoor pool swim, sauna, outdoor spa, 45 min yoga class 👌

Back in the saddle! Due wholly to the encouragement - thanks folks! Road ride today in the sunshine!
Battled the Tees Valley wind 🍃.70 minutes powered by Munchies
30 miler this morning...... nice
and a couple of miles with the grandson later...... until he didnt like bikes no more.
looks like grandad needs a stunt scooter............ lol
Hour at the gym on weights tonight for day 3 - only 2nd visit to the gym recently after a bit of a lay off. Building up slowly and surprised how much strength I've lost
Gym swapped for another night ride. 20 degrees and dry trails. Felt like I made a good decision 🙂
Funnily enough I,ve just ordered an e-scooter.Does it counts for exercise?
Must be getting old like ton!
ton is just a boy
He's very big for a boy!
Busy day at work and then running sprogs about so just managed 45 mins of bag work and kata.
Bit of a low-key start for me due to work commitments. First few days have been longer walks in the evening (5k plus) and pre-work yoga. Today I downloaded that home exercise app too (Christ! I forgot I had abs. Thanks @kimbers).
Last night caught up with a mate for a gravel pootle. 53 minutes riding time at a steady pace, sighted one Barn Owl, one Tawny Owl, numerous rabbits.
Followed by 90 minutes pub time, also at a steady pace, but we both needed the catch up.
Day 4 saw me wake up with eyes and nose streaming. Managed to work through until lunch then had a 20min sleep. Felt a bit better after that so did an hour walk with Mrs Reeksy up the adjacent 'mountain' via the Macadamia farm.
Early morning Pilates session today - busy weekend ahead so its going to be a squeeze getting the minimum requirements.
Count me in, I've been on operation be less of a greedy bastard for a couple of weeks so this should help with that. Sort of.
Tuesday I rode to work and back
Wednesday i'd seen this thread, so when the wife said she'd left her phone at the yard i pedalled over there and the long way home to retrieve it.
Thursday I was getting the hang of it and pedalled down the canal do Halfords to get a new chain for the lads BMX (seeing as i'd err broken the old one, who knew that you need a whole new toolkit and skillset for BMX bikes?) Then headed on over for a BMX coaching session at Bruntwood park.
In the office again today, so that's ticked off, but even pump track laps have been requested by one of the kids, so that'll be in the books as well!
Yesterday - couple of hours in the local woods slowly remembering how to ride a bike. I've not actually forgotten how to ride I was just riding like utter crap. Interestingly after I had stopped for a bit, done some trail maintenance and started riding again it all felt much better.
Today, in a 'possibly defeating the object of the exercise' way, I did a 50 minute walk with the sole intention of going to greggs.
Day 4 ticked off - Fridays are my NWD, so I invariably do a ride of at least 2 hours. 30km woodsy-texh-xc on the HT.

It was doing this challenge a couple of years ago that got me out of the habit of driving into town and walking or cycling instead. It's something I've retained the rest of the year too, so pretty much a benefit all round.
been gardening this morning...... cutting big hedges.
does that count ?
An hour on the (posh) road bike before the rain. 👍
Day 1 - 35 min run
Day 2 - 2 hours at pump track
Day 3 - 30 mins yoga

does that count ?
Hell yeah! That's what I've been doing this afternoon!
First 4 days, gravel riding and running from Glenmore. I might need to ease off a bit or I'm not sure I'll make 10 days nevermind 100 🤣
In court with mate today.So far a 30 minute fast walk.Drinking John Smith's now so doubt much else is going to happen.
Was going to do a leg powered MTB ride for day 4, but was a bit shorter on time than I planned, so 12 mile (total) gravel ride out and back to Bakewell with a quick stop for a pint. 1hr 8 mins moving time
A good few hours in the woods today, shame I can't do it every day!
