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?

Cold dank foggy start to the day but the sun did win briefly with a smidgy of blue sky. Made for a good 10m trail run early this morning on frozen mud and beach, then had a sunset sea swim to ease the legs.

Running 47.7km
Swimming 1km

Typo in my post

Running 40/960

I'm hoping to be able to get out for a walk or ride this week but DS is self isolating this week and I'm taking 3 of the home learning days so I'm setting him Joe Wicks for PE (he's in a specialist school). Wonder how far I should count it as walking...

BestWatcherInTheUnit · 10/01/2021 21:54

Hello all,

Could anyone tell me, is there such a thing as an app that can use a cadence sensor on a spin bike to tell you how many miles you have cycled? My spin bikes comes with a little computer/calculator which presumably does this, but you have to fix it to the handlebars and I already have my iPad there to use Peloton (and watch boxsets, ahem).

thanks

Run 29km
Cycle 123km
Swim 1.6km

153/8,000

I think I need to do 153km per week to hit my target so I'm slightly behind!

FrangipaniBlue · 10/01/2021 22:26

@BestWatcherInTheUnit could you attach the bike computer somewhere else? If it's just to see how far you've done once you've finished it won't matter if it's somewhere you can't see while riding?

But also, depending on what type of spin bike it is the computer may sync with your fitness tracker app if you use one, like Fitbit or Garmin ? The ones in my local gym do Smile

I've managed 41K walking this year so far, missed a couple of days due to incessant sleet or rain.
The frozen mud thawed a bit today and is really slippy and restricted the choice of routes. DS2 is stranded here and regretting not replacing his walking boots with non leaky ones.

Hello all,

Run 34miles/966 to go.

I've put 1000 miles as my goal in Strava and it tells me I'm 6.1 miles ahead of target which I'm stupidly pleased about. Not sure why as the year is yet young and I've still a long way to go!
Did a very muddy 10k with DS today which was good fun, even though he slipped over.

Onwardsandupwardswego · 11/01/2021 06:01

Up to 62 miles done so going well so far. Early days

Run1000km2021 · 11/01/2021 20:15

Massive well done everyone.

I struggled end of last week (homeschooling work bla bla bla) but had a gorgeous run on the weekend and another quick one today.

43km done! 957 to go!

drspouse · 11/01/2021 21:21

Wet 3.5k walk tonight, up to 30k though.

LaLaLanded · 11/01/2021 22:21

6.6k yesterday - running while DS was cycling. Very pleased with his distance actually and he was an enthusiastic if slightly terrifying pacer Grin

82.9km/2021km (running)

Rest day today - back on it tomorrow, with a 10-12k if time will allow.

drspouse · 12/01/2021 13:45

3.5k lunchtime walk to drop something off at DS school while DH supervises self isolation (just DS thank goodness).

ErrolTheDragon · 12/01/2021 15:50

9.4km. Lovely sunshine after a few days of rather grim weather here.

53.2 walked
16.5 rowed

HapHap · 12/01/2021 16:14

Running 59.6km
Walking 43.1km

LaLaLanded · 12/01/2021 20:18

10km today. Rain for the foreseeable but the treadmill I ordered came today! My attempt to be outside less in central London, given the circumstances. Will test it out tomorrow.

92.9km/2021km (running)

amysaurus87 · 12/01/2021 20:41

16.87 miles of walking done this week, not my best but I sprained my ankle after I fell down the stairs, so I haven't started Couch to 5K yet either.

Walking: 28.38/1471.62
Running: 0/50

TriSeaSwim2021 · 13/01/2021 10:27

Early 5k run then dog walk.

Running 53km
Swimming 1km

Run1000km2021 · 13/01/2021 15:13

Snap @TriSeaSwim99 I am also at 53km after another 5k today. Really pleased with that given all the challenges at the moment.

Jemenfouscompletement · 13/01/2021 18:11

221km running
82km cycling
no swimming because pool closed

drspouse · 13/01/2021 19:20

Another 3 k walked, I can't run so I feel a bit pathetic compared to some!

GwendolineWindowlene · 13/01/2021 20:50

That’s about what I’m doing, drspouse.

Inniu · 13/01/2021 20:54

18km of dog walking and a 5k run.

Walking 61.5
