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?

Forgot to post my weekly up date yesterday. Had a bit of a lazy week. 28km walked and 8km ran

528/2021km

Aaargh I have managed to sync but now some things are in twice!

Squeezed in 5km before work, felt like hard work. I thought it's meant to get easier! Vaccine at lunch so prob won't run until the end of the week now. Most people I know have felt a bit crappy the following days.

150.5km total

Hope your jab goes ok tiz, my brother & sister both had theirs recently (in the older age category than me ), they both felt washed out for 48hrs so hope you feel ok. My run times and feeling of effort definitely goes up/down with my hormonal cycle unfortunately due to my age it’s not always predictable 🙄.

7.8 km, across a new (to us) field path scouting out a potential circular walk. It was just as well we didn't go for the whole thing from the other direction, the footpath was completely blocked by house builders who'd fenced it off so they could drive their vehicles across, and it looked pretty chewed up. I'm sure they'll be meant to reinstate it, but it was quite annoying that there was no notice of the closure from the start of that sectionas there was a viable alternative. Still, it was a lovely sunny day, and there was a 'lake' in a flooded corner with a pair of gooseanders and a lot of some sort of duck, they flew before we could get close enough to ID them but definitely not mallards.

Errol sounds like an interesting journey!

I’m enjoying my new bike! Need some padded shorts though!

39km cycling - easy, orientating myself!
543/2021km running - went on the treadmill today to preserve my knee, ran a 5km pb which was good but I don’t count treadmill runs for times. Still, positive as it means I have made some progress since last time I went on a treadmill...

32.87 miles of walking done the last 2 weeks. Would have been more but other half came down with COVID so we've been stuck inside! I still haven't started Couch to 5K yet but I'm really hoping to do it soon!

Walking: 208.97/1291.03
Running: 0/50

Swam last night and tonight near sunset both really nice swims.

VO2 Max intervals for me this morning, the workout looked like a cursed birthday cake with so many candles on it. My legs were fine but my lungs and heart rate were struggling. I did them all without failure, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.

Hope your OH recovers soon and doesn't pass it on to you and the DCs amysaurus!

15k bike today, lovely and sunny but getting a tad samey as two of the nicer/longer/flatter routes are under construction.

Another gorgeous day, and DHs birthday. Our attempt at the alternative route to the one we tried yesterday was stymied by not wanting to run the gauntlet of a muckspreader but we had a nice walk anyway. 8.8km

431.8 walked
40 rowed

15km run this morning, past the shard and down the Thames path. Had to take a quick break to answer an urgent work call which was annoying but otherwise a nice run. My knee held up impressively but not perfectly - will get on the bike tomorrow rather than run again, and then get a 10k run in on Friday I think.

559/2021km running

Quick blast on the bike at lunchtime 11km and a beautiful sunset seaswim tonight.

I love that this thread has all kinds of exercise in all sorts of places. One poster contends with a muckspreader, another runs past The Shard, someone else is swimming in the sea, and some of us are halfway up a mountain. All united by exercise.

I was thinking much the same. I can also offer canal bridges, a delightful pair of miniature goats and a witches grave.

I'm getting a bit fed up of one canal bridge. I'm only 5 ft 3 but I scraped my helmet on it.

I'm going over the bridges not under them, though I don't think any of ours are that low. Unfortunately the towpath, after rain and probably heavier use than usual is an absolute quagmire. It's not really wide enough to distance anyway for our level of carefulness, hopefully will be back to using it come the summer.

It’s fab to hear what others are upto. I actually had a semi-decent sleep last night and rewarded myself with a 10k run before work beautiful cold blue sky day here at the start. Hope to swim later at sunset too.

I've only had a very short walk today - it's the dog's 15th birthday so we drove him to the river walk so he could have a little amble there.

Just 2k walk here too, planning a longer bike ride tomorrow.

Another lovely swim tonight

@ErrolTheDragon DH is on the mend, he was wiped out for a few days but is much better now! I have twice weekly lateral flow tests through work and they've all been negative for me, hoping it stays that way!

Quick 3.8km walk up the side of the local mountain this morning.

20k bike! Lovely spring day.
