You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I feel I'm cheating as it's dog walks but it's his last few days and a reprise of his favourite local wanders.
^^ that is most definitely not cheating, cherish and remember..
Still on track, but might have to resort to a walk tomorrow as i'll be out in town on the tram with no way of getting near a bike all day. I'm not bloody running.
Had a good few laps of the pump track at lunch today and commuted by bike yesterday. Just totted up how far i go by bike just pottering about, 13km today, all of that either on a sit up and beg shopper or a 20" bmx
Still on target. Lunchtime weight lifting class evening 20kms town loop.
0ne hour plus long walk on my escooter
Not sure I understand 🤔
Gym again for me tonight. Not failed. Yet.
Sorry.I rode for one hour on my escooter and then hiked about for an hour or two.Not brilliant exercise I know
Day 10: dawn mtb ride. Legs a bit sore from squats yesterday so went slow and took some more techy options - very rocky. Bust a spoke.
Currently in the Medips so walking a lot. Shortest walk was 12km, longest 17km and today is a loop up to Crook Peak which should be about 20km.....
Might have a pub lunch afterwards if we make it down in time
Going okay here. Good to be mixing lots of MTBing with swimming, running and an attempt to get through all Yoga with Kassandra's new "Yogalatis" series. 15 mins each, so when I haven't done any recordable cardio (ie outside of standard dog walking etc), 2 of those back to back is a good way to log 30 mins.
Yoga with Kassandra's new "Yogalatis" series. 15 mins each
Sounds interesting, the wife and I have been looking for a new pilates/yoga thing to do together on a Monday evening, that could be ideal.
As for the challenge I'm still in - Monday weights, Tuesday running, yesterday making the most of the last few days of the year I can ride my road bike in summer gear after work. Run later today.
No.1:
- I'm still a bit behind so haven't caught up with the latest ones yet, but there's enough variety to keep them interesting.
I too found the new Kassandra series - albeit only yesterday. Going to do the morning and evening ones I think, certainly feel better sitting down to work after day two today.
Ran yesterday, a local trail loop in lieu of missing out on Wednesday night hill running (went to this - Big Bike Film Night - Scotland - Big Bike Film Night )
Will be Yoga-lates today. Been doing it regularly for a few weeks now and think my pre-50 six pack is starting to emerge!
For all variations of Yoga & Pilates with added HIIT options, I heartily recommend this app: Down Dog | Great Yoga Anywhere
Yoag again for me last night, my body is still creaking from the Naughty Northumbrian
Your getting old mate.
Aren't we all
True!75 minutes non stop gardening left me needing a cuppa.Try and get out for a walk tonight.No photos again for Colin's side hustle.
Morning weights, lunchtime yogalates a d then out for a ride.
Back to back Gym classes. I am dead. I may still be moving about but medically, I'm done 😉
MTB commutes today, both extended, just over an hour done each way (most direct route is 22 mins)
So, that's 10% done everyone - keep up the good work!
NWD for me tomorrow, was planning an epic ride in the Peak, but think I'm brewing for a bug, so that might not happen ...
Busy work day today, was meant to cycle in but it never happened. So.....not sure its wholly in the spirit but; one hour ebike into to town and back to buy booze.....
Morning weights, lunchtime yogalates a d then out for a ride.
Still in, but shamed by @scotroutes ‘ride’
Hope you all get over your bugs.This latest one is no fun.It floored me for 17 days.
Felt like crap today too...slightly nauseous.
Went for an hour walk up the hill and back.
I've probably not finished for the day but I did have to ride back home from last nights outing, so I'm already in credit 😂
I had a short week away with my family then I did my back in so have not done nearly as much as I hoped. However this has given me extra motivation to get out and about and I have had at least an hour outside every day
Well you are ancient tj!
A couple of hours outdoor riding this morning 👌🌞
Spanner in the works today - meant to be riding MTB later but feeling pressure to stay home. Will get out for a walk after work in the evening sun, hopefully some yogalates too.
Back to the island trails and back on the rigid Solaris.
Legs still working ok, for now at least.
So far this week I've been doing the body weight leg burners. Which have hurt quite a lot! I haven't started the leaping lunge part yet. I had a 45 min dance because I felt like doing something different. And a rainy walk around a park in KC.
It's been mostly weights at the gym for me this week, but missed yesterday, so done an hour in the gym this morning and going out on the leg powered bike in a bit to level up
Yesterday weights session followed by late night 1km swim. Today's normally group ride day but feeling a little under the weather so just got the Zwift bike ready for an hour's ride.
Got a decent 1.45hrs hike around some mtb trails with Mrs Reeksy in before beer tasting all afternoon.
Finding new ways of torturing myself today, with a shuttle running session. Only 8.5km but full of extended sprints. Everything is a bit tight now 😂
Today's weigh-in shows I've lost a bit though, so all good and only 500g over my target weight.
Skipped park run - er a little hungover. Went out on the MTB 20 miles local loop .....grand.

Did my ride. 1hr 40 moving time
Yesterday, was meant to do a big 60-70km MTB ride in the Peak, but have come down with some form nausea/achy bug and just didn't have it in me. Thought I felt a bit better around lunchtime, so headed up to Stainburn for a few laps, nice to be out but felt rough.
Today, still feeling less than optimal, and life has rather got in the way, so will have to settle for the half hour dog walk after lunch.
I think I remember this from last time but I'm feeling tired. Today was just a walk, a nice walk with the family to a point of interest from a recent cubs meeting (where the north and south Esk rivers meet).
Bike commute yesterday, run today, needed to do some weights really but battling with the mower for an hour sort of counts too* (should've strava'd it!)
*we have very slopey garden OK?
100k audax today. Except they keep moving the start each year, so its now 110. And I rode to and from, so ended up at 140k.
Tomorrow's exercise is likely to be moving a Skoda Octavia full of "stuff" into LittleMissMC student accommodation
Was supposed to be a quick spin on the road bike today, but a puncture slowed things down 😡
Lovely day for it though, and despite having to change an inner tube I can't complain.
Not sure if it was that double session at the Gym or yesterday lunchtime' wine tasting followed by by "Pudding by Pub" but my legs were just hollow vessels of uselessness today. Started off weak and went downhill from there.
1100m of climbing and 50km later Strava was very impressed with my ride. My body tho is pretty much ready for a lie down in a dark room for a day or two. I'm sure the last 10km was actually measured at 350 miles 😉
Still great day for a ride and only my second "proper" all day ride since splattering myself in May. I'm really hoping it's going to get easier.
Tomorrow will be something non cardio 🙂
Bit of a lazy start to the day (well, it is Sunday) but managed an hour in the gym, then out for a walk with Mrs S (she's been doing a 1 mile/day thing during September in aid of Cancer Research).
Lochan Mor - otherwise known as the Lily Loch.
Any fungus experts like to tell me what this is?
Rounded it off with a bit of Tacx turbo before dinner, just to get the cardio up.
Back up a mountain for the first time since I did an ultra at the beginning of the month - really grim weather for it with rain, wind and sleet. But it was my running club's annual race, and I'd volunteered to help out. An hour standing around at 2000m, reading runner's chips, then another 20+km as one half of the broom wagon. Final total was about 27km, and 1800m climbing. A decent workout 🙂
Went climbing on Ben A'an today. A whopping 3.7km but great fun.
skatebowl with the kids yesterday morning and then practising very small olies at the local skate hangout while they had their skate club today
my knees now sche
13km trail run, then because it was such a nice afternoon, 45 mins on the paddle board. 
Got a good mtb ride in yesterday.
Big walks exploring new to us parks with the wife and dog last few days, same today 👍
Garmin: your body battery is quite low, your HRV has been dropping this week and recovery time from yesterdays ride was 48 hours.
Also Garmin: Recommended workout for today, 2 hour ride.
I'll be doing something, but not that!
I find Recovery rides easier on the turbo. I can maintain a consistent (low) HR without interference from climbs and traffic. Two hours of that is a bit much though.
Yeah. Agreed on turbo and that was my plan (but hour max). However just had a meeting cancellation so think I can squeeze in a lunchtime swim instead. Really trying to do lots of different exercises rather than 80% cycling and 20% running.
On that note, back to "bootcamp" at the Gym tomorrow. That's going to hurt.
Rode to work this morning ~10 miles, and will ride home this afternoon.
Stunning 3hr schlomp round the duddon yesterday (post images not working or I'd share) and a 5k run plus some outdoor gym scizzle tonight. Should've been indoor gym at lunch time and karate but works a bastard at the mo and time would not allow
Monday night is club run night. This week we did an 11km loop from Grantown. 
The weather is supposed to turn shit for the next few days so I'll have to play it by ear.
Didn't fancy it tonight, but forced myself to go to the gym for 40 mins
Three 15 minute walks yesterday. Gnarly tech group ride/chat this morning.
Just back from a 4kms walk as part of active recovery from the weekend's endeavours. Walked through a horse chestnut forest and was hit twice by conkers.
Be careful out there folks.
Ah the old arboreal shrapnel. I was under fire from wind assisted acorns in the forest on Sunday. Like hailstones that have been to the gym!
Talking of the Gym, one hour, 5 rounds of HIIT with 4 exercises in each followed by some core stuff that seemed to be around 1000 situps. To go with about a million squats earlier.
100% dead. I expect tomorrow will be difficult 😉
Just when you think you have a free run at something, with no lengthy business travels, along comes a family drama!
I fell off the wagon for 6 days trying to sort out the above, but now back into exercising.
So, I’ve failed the challenge again but now tagging along for the ride.
Monday - football training with 40 mins playing with the U16s.
Tuesday - 1 hour in the gym. A fair chunk of cardio (rowing, running to test my bad knee).
A walk, a workout and a dip in the pool to cool off. Bloody hot today.
Some challenges last few days with crappy weather, and bathroom fitters in, and me on dog duties. Had to use last resort of lunchtime dog walk yesterday, and today will be split between a brief wander round the loch with wife and dog in the rain and hopefully an early evening Zwift.
Only managed a walk yesterday. Tiredness and lethargy aplenty.
Was feeling the same today and did a 20min workout at lunch which has improved things dramatically. As always, there's a balance between too much (fatigue) / not enough (lethargy).
The workout was from this guy, whose stuff is filling my SM feeds just now, but I like it. Good mix of strength and mobility.
DOMS hasn't kicked in yet. Expect that'll be tomorrow's present 😉
Off riding later, lovely conditions but properly dark now.
I noticed my Zwift subs are due in a month. Now I'm at the Gym at least two nights a week plus riding, swimming and running (still outside at the moment), I might not bother. I really feel done with the Turbo and I can amuse myself with YT on our treadmill. Only tend to do 30 min workouts and I've done enough not to be guided by Zwift.
There's some rough weather coming in from the west, so what better than to head to Ardnamurchan and meet it head on?
Today was walk, walk, swim.
The clubs winter yoga sessions started tonight - after 45 minutes I could touch my toes, not just my ankles
Dusty ride. Back in the Gym tomorrow....
Im sore today after a tough 42 gravel miles yesterday trying to keep up with a younger fitter pal.
Wednesday hill running 
Two classes in the Gym. I can no longer feel my arms and my slightly twinge-y stomach muscle that hates burpees is definitely twinge-y. Going from zero classes to 4 a week might have been a bit ambitious.
Easy swim tomorrow I think following by some "liver training" in the pub!
Well, we managed a 7km run from the hotel before the heavens opened, and then a short walk on "Bens Beach" near Arisaig this afternoon while the weather was a bit soft.
Back to Zwifting after a few challenging days getting anew bathroom fitted at home.
yoga last night and an easy pace 20k round the local xc tonight
