I recognise that pose. Is it Lebowski?
Tried walking to work today- the hope being that itâs workable as a day off the bike whilst providing some easy aerobic exercise. Did the 5 miles in a touch over an hour (about the same time as taking the bus, by the time youâve added up the time walking to the stop, waiting for the bus and then walking to work at the other end), averaged just over 4.5mph and average heart rate was 126bpm with 140 max on hills, so perfect (60-80% MHR is 118-157 for me)
Yes
Really could not be fucked but forced myself to do 10 push ups 50 secs apart
Nice one.
40 secs next you think? If I drop 10 secs per session I would be doing 10 continuously by week starting 23rd JanâŚis that realistic?
Iâm going to do a 2 hour endurance session on the turbo tomorrow, 40 mins at 115-125bpm, 30 mins at 125-135, 20 at 135-145, 10 at 145-155 with 5 mins easy cycling in between each set and steady 90-100 rpm cadence throughout.
Be guided by your own experience - if you think that you can then go for it - whatâs the worst that can happen after all?
Fucking cold also stopping me training and making me grumpy
Could it be asthma ? If so I believe you can order up some âtreatmentâ for that.

Nope I canât cheat using asthma or allergies. ADHD might be a possibility.
Did the 2 hour endurance session (harder than last time I did it I think) then did my 10 pushups 40 secs apart (stretching in between reps)
Nice one, keep it up.
What are you stretching between reps btw? And why?
Not to do with pushups, was using the time between reps to stretch hip flexors and quads after the cycling
Ah yes thatâs a good idea. I always think rest shouldnât mean doing nothing, so no sitting and bonus points for mobilising or core exercise.
Right. Just tried on my two suits and I have a choiceâŚeither lose a bit of weight or put on a lotâŚ
Better choices than mine!
Youâll knowâŚto what extent is it possible to take in suit trousers (and jacket?)? Is it worth it?
Without seeing it, it is difficult to say. To make garments smaller perfectly they have to be taken in all over and this isnât possible on finished, off the peg garments. I think a jacket can probably be taken in about 4cm total ( by someone who knows what they are doing) before other difficulties become a factor. Trousers maybe a bit more.
