Ouch..

I went for the gentle option today. A 10 miler with 1600ft of elevation... Somehow the whole route feels like it's going up a hill..

I did a 6 mile run this afternoon. Not done more than 4 miles for a while due to work.

Just wish I had more spare time to do more.

And there was I feeling pleased with myself for doing a 2 mile walk in half an hour... Best get myself back to the gym tomorrow.

In all seriousness I am going more for cardio than weights this time, I want to loose weight not gain it.

Fair play Duke if you can just pick up from where you left off. I've never been able to run 6 miles.

Good idea Stonesie, that's what I'm hoping to get out of cycling. I have 20kg to lose.

Commuted by MTB.

I presume my watch wasn't accurately detecting my HR because I set 5 PRs on Strava and my max HR was only 89bpm. All other segments were my 2nd fastest.

Probably a question for Perks... how do you stop getting a painfully numb meat & 2 veg? I had to stop to allow the shrivelled items to return to a semi-normal shape, reposition and continue.

My inner thighs are burning. I'm walking like a crab today

Do you use a chest strap or a built in sensor on the watch ?? I've got a sensor on the watch that periodically needs a good clean or it gets gunged up with stuff and doesn't read properly. I also have to wear the watch quite tight or I get the same issue.

With regards to sore gentlemen veg, are you wearing padded shorts ?? lycra with a decent chamois or similar ?? If not that may help, other than that be more careful landing jumps so you don't smack you nuts into the saddle on landing

[Cav]

The HR sensor is on the rear of my smart watch and I had the strap done up as tight as I did on previous rides and it's only got a small amount of skin oil on it. Gave it a wipe, will see if it reads similar this afternoon.

Yep I have bib shorts with a decent chamois. I just don't know where is best to position my manhood. I have tried standing the little man to attention, like when you're a teen tucking your boner into your waist band. This helps slightly but it's a strange sensation.

Don't worry about jumping, I have a 150mm dropper post

Saddle height and set up ,get a proper bike fit by an experienced shop with somebody that also rides
Padded shorts and expensive saddles wont really help
alternatively get HRT and have a sex change

alternatively get HRT and have a sex change

Sounds easiest.

[Cav]

Ride into work 31mins
Ride home 26mins.

There's a reduction of 20m climbing on the way home but it's pretty flat. My knee hurts after that though.

[Kwacky]

I did barbell squats today for the first time in about 20 years.

I'm going to hurt tomorrow.

[Itchy]

Each set you did will provide you with an exponential level of regret!

[Kwacky]

4x8 sets

They were light. I did two lots of 50kg and 60kg

But my hamstrings weren't happy.

[Itchy]

You might be alright.

But don't drop anything, just in case!

[Kwacky]

Had a message from my old PT. A client hadn't shown up, do I fancy a free session? So I went and did an hour with him. It was good to catch up.

[Kwacky]

Yesterday was a bit achy.

Riding the bike today was a bit difficult

[Stonesie]

Good gym session today, couldn't get on all of the equipment that I wanted to but it just made me mix it up a bit... Tomorrow might be interesting.

[Kwacky]

I've been gym, innit.

I'm hench now bro
