Run / Walk / Swim / Cycle 1000km / miles in 2021 here we go again!

[TriSeaSwim99]

Third year for me aiming to be as active as possible most days. So join me in setting a goal and keeping on track by logging on here . I’ve set a 500mile run target this year to be realistic as I’ve nursed foot issues most of 2021 which really curtailed my running miles but sea swimming and trail running have developed into my passions. What’s your challenge this year?

11km today - new 5km PB and 2nd fastest 10km time. Really pleased - I’ve been lacking sleep and had a couple of deliberately easy runs which really paid off today.

Hopefully another 10km tomorrow, and then a longer run at the weekend - 15-18km.

Now 12 weeks until my half marathon - we’ll just under - so things need to start ramping up a bit!

Great to see new PBs for you all!

45km on the bike between a turbo session and in the real world. Nearly got taken out of it by a old guy driving through a roundabout when I was already on it. I had slowed as I could tell he wasn't looking out for me. I had a lovely heart rate spike and my language turned the air blue.

Enjoying the pet stories!

DDog is enjoying chewing up my old trainers but too young for opinions on anything in particular, apart from treats and cuddles. And also crows. He dislikes them.

17k bike ride!

Finally back out after 5 days stuck indoors with ill DC. Only 3km with small person in tow but hoping to get a long walk on my own in this weekend followed by starting running again next week.

Loving the cat who thinks the shopping is his, I have a dog who walks off lead with me, she is very very well behaved unless someone has a plastic carrier bag if they do she must walk over to them and try to stick her head in it to check out the goods. One time she actually stole a banana from one. Luckily we walk on private land so the people we see all know her.
Managed 4km yesterday which is the longest walk i've done in a month putting my total to 69km

Wow congrats on the pb @LaLaLanded!

Another 10km for me!
265/1333km

Another 5km for me and another PB. The one advantage of being a bit rubbish to start with! 6:22 average per 1 km now, although my goal of a 30 minute 5k still seems a long way off

Thanks @Run1000km2021! PBs always come as a surprise for me as I don’t really do time trials - it’s more just getting consistently stronger.

To that point @tizwozliz you’ll get there! Get the miles under your belt and the times will come. Strength training definitely helps.

I didn’t run today - had a busy day at work and then took DS and DDog to the park where half the world was but we had a lovely time skateboarding and pottering about. Should be well rested for a longer run tomorrow though so not feeling too guilty.

I remain on 389.8km/2021km.

Dull and rainy, so 5km on the rower

267.8 walked
35 rowed

That’s a great time tiz and lala is right it’s the strength training that makes the difference and some longer runs, not just running 5ks repeatedly. I have to work really hard to the point where I feel sick to get a sub/30min 5k and I’ve only managed it a handful of times all at parkrun chasing others I accepted I’m built for distance not speed 😂
No running today but I did 30mins weights with Hitt then an hours walk over lunchtime in the rain. Really crap weather in SW this wend. Hope to cycle tomorrow and dodge the downpours.

Running 162.5km
Swimming 5.5km
Cycling 135km

We set out, but then DH had a ‘did I turn the panini press off’ moment so we headed back to check , intending to then continue. But just as we got home the rain started. So just 3.4
271.2 walked
35 rowed

6k chasing DD on her bike to do some errands.

I'm quite speedy but only for max 400m or so :-) Same with swimming, my sprinting speed is much faster than anything I can maintain for more than a couple of minutes. I'd take swimming 5k over running 5k any day of the week though.

6km walked this evening for some errands. Another 34km this morning on the turbo watching the lashing rain outside the window. I have plans for tomorrow but it'll still be windy.

tizwozliz I’m keen to try swimming properly when lockdown is over - any tips you have much appreciated! I don’t do well when cold though so a bit scared of outdoor swimming.

Half marathon today - a bit stressful dodging walkers, dogs, children etc but the weather was glorious so it was a mentally easy run from that perspective. May do a slow recovery run tomorrow if I have time.

411.4/2021km

22.29 miles of walking done this week! Not great but I've lost a lot of motivation to get out and walk this week.

Walking: 140.22/1359.78
Running: 0/50

That is a decent amount of walking @amysaurus87!

Another 30km of running for me this weekend, I’m nearly at 300km now😱 I’m on fire🔥

Well done amy that’s a great walking total it’s hard juggling little ones and lock down.

Nice but damp cycle out 38k with a friend this morning.

Running 162.5km
Swimming 5.5km
Cycling 173km

About 4k walk with DD.

100km cycle today within my 5km on a lovely Spring day. A bit breezy but you can't have everything!

That gives me 247km for the week.
225km cycled and 22km walked.

35.1km walked this week. Also a 3km run, hoping to be able to start running a bit more soon.

329.5km walked
3km ran

332.5/2021km

Gorgeous morning, more signs of spring (including a peacock showing off his tail to the ladies). 10.1km

281.3 walked
35 rowed

22.29 miles of walking done this week! Not great but I've lost a lot of motivation to get out and walk this week.

That's over 35 km which sounds more. I have to say I like metric.

Only a 5.5 km walk yesterday, I still need to add up my totals for the year so far.

Was hoping there might be some non essential retail opening up so I can get some new trainers but sounds like that's a way off yet
