For such a relaxing sport (I find the rhythm of swimming potentially rather meditative) it's amazing how ragey swimming in a pool can be 😁

I've been having a great year for running, but my swimming has taken a hit for it. Mind you, it's not been a great year for open water swimming either. I didn't get any sensible windows for river swimming at all.

BezMills · 15/11/2023 03:23

I am a keen swimmer but I find sharing lanes awkward and annoying. I just swim at the beach instead. This year has beem bullshit weather-wise for that tbh. And continues to be!

Nat Hayward strength workout done ☑️

126/150 (noticed I switched back to 200 on the last couple of posts. Definitely won't be making that Grin)

I was the only person who went to the beginners’ running group this week. So I’ve just done 25 mins at the pace of the people who organise the group. My watch says we did 3.12 miles.

BezMills · 15/11/2023 15:56

@OublietteBravo that is great running!

Totally agree about the tension between loving swimming but hating other people being in the pool!
That's a great time for a 5km, Oubliette. I did a much slower run today with the dog on the school run. My legs are sore after it and yesterday's million squats.

Sorry, 146!

30 min sing ride, was lots of fun

I managed to get to the gym early yesterday but am stuck at a work event until late tonight and I'm not going to manage anything today. An unplanned rest day I guess. My watch tells me I've averaged 13k steps and 142% of my activity target in the last week! (I'm in a boring session so looking at my app breakdowns)

Gym this morning. We were doing RDLs and I forgot my wrist straps so couldn't lift any heavier than 40kg because of my grip strength so I need to work on that.

Shirt, wet, windy run with the dog this morning. He loved it. I didn't so much. Now standing beside a wet and windy pitch watching dd's team do the running. Happy wintery Sunday everyone🌧

No BodyCombat last Sunday, as I was away doing Group Spar training. It's not some kind of mass rammy, as you might assume, just doing boxing pads to music. That was really great, I love being surrounded by other instructors and gym people in general. Veh inspirational.
Another qualification done, this one from the Italian Boxing Fitness Federation. For some reason, it seems cooler because it's from Italy.

BodyCombat last night, a good crowd of us, was fun and knackering as always.
So that's 148!

I haven't gymmed at all, was away in Scotland for a few days and since I came back I just haven't found time or motivation to get up there. I'm going to pay for one more single month and see if I can get a routine going. My schedule is difficult at the moment, and the bastard boycat keeps disrupting my sleep, which means I'm getting up later than usual.
Today I'm up at sparrowfart a.m. and will therefore have time to gym it after an early finish, before going home for pizza dinner.

Short run with the dog this morning before getting the train.

Happy weekend everyone

Spar training sounds fun Bez. Bet you can get lots of aggression out if you picture the old gym manager's face 😏

Hope you are having a lovely weekend Motherforkin
