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?

Freezing seaswim this morn cut it shorter even by my stds northly wind was icy. Then a warmup 5k run, plus a 45min trail dog walk. Phew pooped now

running 230.7km
Swimming 9.7km
Cycling 345km

lalaland have you tried a few stretches for the tight hip flexor? I struggle all the time and really miss my sports massage as she always released my hips, but a good pigeon stretch and piroformus stretch plus general hamstring & quads stretches help me.

Haha yeah @Ringsender2 I could take a break or maybe I should change my username to something more ambitious🤣

Another HM for me this morning!

507km running🤩

More gardening today while it's dry, so just 6km

505.8 walked
40 rowed

I'm just going out for a quick bike ride... 35k later...

35km is a good step up from 20km. The 50km will be easy peasy.

My plan has me doing 1 hour next weekend but I've signed up for a local group ride that's more or less the same as yesterday 🤦🏼.

Think I forgot to update last week.
46.3km running

A group ride is a great idea. Don't get stuck up the front, find a larger person to shelter behind in a headwind and call out potholes. You'll be absolutely fine and if they're horrible, they don't deserve you!

It's much easier to do longer distances in a group, you get towed along in the slipstream. If the leader is in any way good, the should offer support and make sure you know how to get home/back to the start. Bring a drink and something to nibble and be nice to yourself when you get home.

238km for me this week across walking, hiking and cycling. I've done 2,065km for the year so far, I'm chuffed with that.

Well done @drspouse and I agree with what @TheLongRider is saying!

I’m a runner but you guys make me want to get on a bike🤩🤩🤩

Another 10k for me. Year total 517km🙂

@SSwimCycle21 argh you’ve caught me - I do stretch but not nearly as properly as I should. And I know exactly what I should be doing. I will be more consistent!

Tbh I think the issue is that I’m running faster, but exclusively on roads - no track and very little treadmill because of our puppy (treadmill is loud and he barks). Today DP took him out specifically so I could go on the treadmill and I did a quick 7km with no hip or knee pain at all. Can’t wait for the gyms to reopen so I can build proper strength work and treadmill sessions back into my routine.

Anyway, excuses! I’m skulking off to stretch now

629km/2021km running
92.5km cycling (no goal)

10km walk yesterday
5km run today

Will have to see how my hip feels tomorrow.

No swimming this week, all booked out within 5mins, I was too far down the queue.

165.5 km total

Sorry you didn’t get your swim booked tiz that’s frustrating when your looking forward to it.

Sat on my arse and ate too many carbs today so nipped out for a 10k run before dinner

running 240.7km
Swimming 9.7km
Cycling 345km

I'm hoping to get on the swimming booking site myself tomorrow. But DD is supposed to start lessons anyway so that takes a bit of pressure off.
Massive 2k walk today, my legs are much less sore than I feared though I didn't manage yoga (time/DCs not anything physical)

Great blast out on my bike 38km this morning it was like someone had turned the heater on! I was stripping off layers so sunny & warm.

Physio pleased with my progress (so am I), cycling is helping!

Well done Amysaurus , and that's good news DrSpouse.

Today we drove up to the north of the county to a lovely but not overly popular area - 16.1 km, the early cloud clearing to the most gorgeous golden spring day.

529.6 walked
40 rowed

A 15km run today - like running through a sauna. I always forget what running in 15 degree+ temperature feels like! But good to get out - my knee felt ok too.

645km/2021km running
92.5km cycling (no goal

Keen to get out on the bike again which I may do tomorrow if I can’t run early enough.

drspouse great news re progress!

15k bike ride. Lovely weather + rule of "6" = bike path rammed with groups of 8 teenagers. Booked on a British Cycling ride on Sat!

Forced myself out before work and before it gets too warm. 5.25km run. Irrationally annoyed that my gps lost signal so only recorded 5km which has messed my averages up.

170.75km total
