Welcome all to the 2022 distance challenge thread!

29km hike across mountain valleys from my house. I was chased by hail and rain showers but there was glorious sunshine in between. The picture was taken 5 miles/8km from my front door.

I think I would be motivated by virtual kit too. If dd and I get up early enough we want to do a challenge for real kit.

Another difficult week. Weights on Wednesday and then a 8.5 k bike ride through the park today to let off some steam before i started yelling at anyone.

5.5 k walk, 38k ski, 3k skate, 8.5k bike
TTD 55km

I did RED, although I don't run every day, I do recorded exercise which may be a swim, walk or cycle ride as well. I didn't quite make it as I had a migraine one day but I managed at least one recorded exercise for every other day in January.

I had also run 100 miles by the end of Feb 1st - didn't quite manage it by the end of 31st Jan.

I am also doing the Tour de Zwift which is eight bike rides, I've done 7 and have one more to do during the "make-up week" next week. I will then get a virtual kit (it's amazing what can motivate you!)

Pleased with this week - I feel like I'm back into it after my hiatus due to illness. 12.5km on the stationery bike today.
Total 125.4km (48.9 run, 76.5 bike)

Lovely start to Feb, glorious weather here today and felt spring like (it was 10 degrees!).
Managed a slow 4 mile run after work and a 3 mile lunch time stroll on Monday to hit my Jan walking target (50k).

IsThisNameTaken · 02/02/2022 11:08

Great photo @TheLongRider - I'm exhausted just thinking about cycling that far!
6.2km run to add for me this morning.
TTD 129.3km

Tarahumara · 02/02/2022 10:40

Nice sunny February run - 5.6km
Total: 106.8km (run 42.8, bike 64)

CardiCorgi · 02/02/2022 07:03

3.5k walk on Friday night as I knew it would be a busy weekend. Weekend spent wrangling the dcs’ skating team, so no sport for me (reached 10000 steps by lunchtime each day from general fetching and carrying).

Well done to everyone who had a good start in January.
5.5k walk
38k ski
3k skate, so total 46.5km

My January totals are 585km cycled (5,800m ascent), 68km of walking and one 5km run for the craic!

I've attached the most Irish photo I've taken this year of the Carawaystick waterfall in the middle of Wicklow.

My plans for February include throwing some turbo trainer sessions into the mix. I have plenty of endurance but I need more speed.

Well done to everyone else for keeping going in January. Onwards and upwards!

Only 2.8km logged today because we went into the city and I kept forgetting to resume when we were walking. But I did manage to close all the rings on my watch, so I've made it through the whole month.Grin And it was a successful trip, for a new walking coat and shoes as the existing ones are showing distinct signs of wear so I'm well kitted out. And lunch in a Japanese restaurant, first sashimi and sushi for over two years, delicious.

234.4km walked
20km rowed

I have had a hectic time and been able to do very little, as have had in-the-home physical tasks to do so I have been a) busy and b) knackered!

I am going to put down 12 miles for the 12 days I did not post so 74.5 miles so far. Now everything has calmed down I can get back to normal.

Tarahumara · 30/01/2022 19:39

No miles today but I did do an online yoga class Smile
