Good effort that. When you near the century, how can you NOT just go a bit further
Mileage is still down but getting out again. Started on the resistance work again after many years and even bought some new 20kg plates for bumping the deadlift up. I cannot walk properly again and it has killed my speed gains on the bike. ____________________ Honda Varadero >> Triumph Speed Four >> Honda CBR1100xx |

Fitness and motorcycle related all in one?
I played motoball yesterday, we had two matches in the same day.
That’s not unusual or that I was supposed to have given up motoball some years ago, however I played .
Motoball is frenetic, frantic, physical, and just plain hard work.
We had a hard game, it was one mothef*cker of a workout.
Today my hips ache like I’ve been kicked by a large horse.
Boy if I need to do serious cardio workouts, maybe I need to get back into motoball.
I haven’t had a workout like that for ages.
Tomorrow it’s Karate training and included in this is a bit of fitness training.
This is one old man that is at least trying to keep hold of some of his fitness.
Rocking chairs hold no interest to me ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Went to Karate last night.
Quite a busy session, didn’t notice how physical it got.
Woke up this morning with about 20 bruises I didn’t know I had
My legs and arms are a nice shade of yellow, purple, & blue

like to do martial arts again, but, meh money etc
so after last Sundays (nearly) 100 mile bike ride, haven't done any cycling for a week, and all running has been me encouraging my wife, and attempting to coach her.
I tend to run to park run, run with my wife on the park run, then run home. Will have to up the miles a tad soon, as I have a half m in December.
Anyway, as it was a gentle week, I took the opportunity to adjust my diet, and work on core strength etc
This morning I do my first shift as a deliveroo cyclist. I do hope I get the furthest away deliveries so I can clock some miles up. |

I was alternating between jogging and walking, one minute of each. My aim is to build up longer run times gradually so although my overall pace is slow for a run, power walking would be slower still and not what I want to do for Parkruns. Thanks for the link though I might build in some faster walks to my gym sessions as running on a treadmill and running outside are very different. ____________________ Theory test - 19/8/09, CBT - 11/10/09, MOD 1 - 16/8/10, MOD 2 - 27/10/10

Trained last night before going to work.
We did a LOT of stretching and flexibility exercise
I need it a lot, problem is I hate it
My hips ache this morning.
I’m sure it’ll all come good in the end. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

just set a new PR for a stretch out of town, to deliver some sushi, blasted through the country park, rode off road to avoid the pedestrian lemmings, got there faster than a motorbike could've (cos roads, lights, traffic versus traffic free national cycle paths), and then got moaned at for cycling past the entrance to the business on an industrial estate and causing someone to wait for 20 whole seconds as I did a u-turn in the carpark.
tried to do kettle bell swings last night, properly. It looked easy. it isnb't. Wanted to do 100 in one go. no chance.
and I was only using a 14k too.
also did some military presses with bar bells, and a few dumbell things
every other day, pretty much, back doing core - press ups, sit ups, squats, pull ups, dips etc then other exercises if I feel up to it
on the other days do big (for me) lifting with weights. |

Have seen your rides for deliveroo, not sure it would be worth it but might be interesting.
I lolled at the KB comment. First time I did it properly I couldn't grip anything for days, really messed with my work.
Currently attempting the following
Mon, Wed, Fri - compound routines 5x5 with some additional bits thrown in, nothing too strenuous and building slowly from lighter then I can manage to avoid injury and improve form. Tue, Thurs, poss Sat or Sun for cardio in the form of cycling as well as irregular commuting.
I won't be able to maintain the routine completely consistently due to work and other commitments (16 hour days at times) but I don't mind that, I just need to not fall out of it and stagnate like normal.
I also need an indoor trainer for the bike I think, get rid of my treadmill.
That and avoid political discussions with smooth brains for my own mental health and I should be ok going forward. ____________________ Honda Varadero >> Triumph Speed Four >> Honda CBR1100xx |

If you do the maths, probably not. If you don't do the maths, and just hammer away on the pedals, it's okay. The way shifts are allocated is a bit sketchy, and I don't really want to do the the evening shifts, even though that's where the big money is. But, a rainy lunchtime can be okay too. The more shifts you do, the more preference you get to choose shifts, I've got a few evening shifts coming up, but won't be my prime choice. So, I'm always on notify - and just say yes to anything if it fits in with my plans.
I mean, if I wasn't working by bike delivering, I'd be cycling anyway probably. Helps that I live inside a delivery zone, so I can just sit here doing my thing waiting for my phone to go ping if I wanted, once I've signed on as available for a shift.
(There is another system where you just pitch up in a "Free Zone" and work as and when, but the nearest one is 25miles away) |
