All welcome

170.1/829.9km (running)

Managed a great 10km run this week in a (huge) PB of 01:02:30, I'm beyond delighted!

Doing inside stuff most of the day, got out in time for a quick 2 km walk before dusk then 3km rower.

I’m in Ireland where the schools are closed and students are being asked not to meet in groups. I thought it would not be a good example to meet a group myself.
Hence the solo run

amysaurus87 · 09/03/2020 17:14

45.51 miles of walking done this week! Perk of a toddler off nursery and me off work, we've been able to get out on some really long walks!

312.7/1687.3

Still need to average 40 miles a week to hit that target of 2000 miles!

TriSkiRun99 · 09/03/2020 15:55

Very slow stop start 5k run this morning but after seeing my sports therapist earlier, I still need to still rest from running Sad so need to get back to cycling & swim

Running 146km
Swimming 8km
Cycling 135km

Inniu · 09/03/2020 12:49

Another 5 today.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/03/2020 19:06

I suppose events may be cancelled, and if we catch CV-19 who knows if we'll get mild or more... but at least running, walking and cycling can be done outside and without loads of other people close by.

Spring cleaning and a bit of gardening dominated this weekend so just 3km on the rower today.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/03/2020 17:19

I've done another 9 miles since Wednesday. Backing off now to get ready for a race :)

315/685

I'm starting to get a bit worried about my prep for an ultra this summer in relation to CV-19. Obviously in the grand scheme of things it's not important, but walking and running are how I keep myself mentally happy and healthy.

Wanted to test out the endurance legs as I have a 15km race on the 29th! It won't be as hilly as what I did today so I hope that means I'll be ok.

It was starting to feel like spring today. 5.4 km walk plus 4km on the rower because I was sat at my desk too long earlier on.
