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 Smile. 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?

Well done on the 20km @drspouse. I know you're working up to longer distances so that's good going.

drspouse · 19/03/2021 14:07

I do kind of feel "OK I can do a bit more than last time" too - my legs are holding up OK though a soak in the bath tonight is called for!

Ooh people are posting pictures! I’ll take some.

10k run today - fairly chilled one. Didn’t cycle yesterday, it rained and I don’t entirely trust myself in the rain on a bike - yet.

This weekend I’ll do one run, one bike ride.

Wow well done everyone! I’ve dropped off the thread but have been running loads. 40km this week so far!!!

Am at 440km of running for the year🤩

TheLongRider · 20/03/2021 10:45

I'm watching the pros ride Milan - San Remo while doing my turbo session. I'd kill for their power output! The cat is not impressed that I haven't fed him second breakfast.

5km this morning after vaccine in the week which made me really ill for a day.

Back to wearing my old shoes, they destroy my feet but save my calves.

Not sure I'll be able to continue running as it gets warmer, I'm already boiling and its only just into double figures

150.5km

SSwimCycle21 · 20/03/2021 11:44

I’m much more a winter runner tiz as I don’t like getting really hot, I normally switch to cycling and swimming more in the summer but this year I got a trail HM in sept so I’ll have to keep the running ticking over this summer 🙈didn’t think of that when I signed up to it!

Nipped out for cycle to sea for swim and home again before breakfast. Hope to do a longer cycle tomorrow but my youngest DD is now full of cold Sad so I’m really hoping she doesn’t develop any cv symptoms now..

tiz I know what you mean about the temperature! It’s amazing the difference a few degrees makes. In warmer weather I become an early morning runner, and in winter I tend to be a daytime runner - always chasing a better temperature.

27km bike ride today - bought some padded leggings. Not enough padding me thinks but they did help 🥴

tizwozliz · 20/03/2021 14:41

I'm never happy, if I'm sitting still I like it to be 30 degrees :-)

I got an email saying my direct debit for swimming is resuming in April, so pleased! And my alarm set for this week ready for when they release the sessions at the outdoor pool

drspouse · 21/03/2021 18:51

4k walk with the DCs, they were both able to tell me their favourite bit too so it must have been OK! (It was the manic lambs).

LaLaLanded · 21/03/2021 19:03

Well done on weekend activities everyone! And cheers to gyms and pools being open again soon - I too have an alert for the minute the booking system opens again.

16km run for me today - fairly easy effort, just keeping the aerobic base ticking along.

66.5km cycling (no goal)

Nipped down before dinner for a lovely millpond smooth sea swim.

Hi All
Regular name changer here

I hit 1000 miles for cycling today 😮
I'm stunned tbh. I've never managed to go this far in a whole year!

Run1000km2021 · 21/03/2021 22:02

Wow @ShinyHatStand! That’s amazing!

Great weekend of lovely runs for me, I’ve never run as much in my life as this year and my fitness is increasing. Sometimes I have a row of shit runs (heavy legs tight chest) and then the weekend rolls around and my long run feels lovely. It just shows, keep running and it will keep getting easier.

466km down for this year:-)

Ringsender2 · 21/03/2021 22:13

Love the pics and the updates!

@Run1000km2021 I've only been at this lark since Jan, but i know what you mean. I think i only get going properly after about 4km. I find it helps me to have interesting stuff to look at, so I like it when I follow my nose.

@TheLongRider are you in Carlow/ Mt Leinster area?

@TriSeaSwim99 mid/North Wales?

I'll post a pic of my next run. More like the Shard than the hills.

Ringsender2 · 21/03/2021 22:14

Sorry, that was to @SSwimCycle21 re Wales

TheLongRider · 21/03/2021 23:39

@Ringsender2 I'm based in South Dublin. I did the 100km within the 5km radius from Rathmines to the Viewing Point. I could see the tops of The Pigeons in Poolbeg today.

Are you in D4 given your username?
