Have started doing lane swimming again before work.
As the local council pool is currently only doing "family swim" sessions I had to join a gym to use its much smaller pool.
Currently doing just under 1km 3 times a week.
Used to do about 1.5km 3 times a week at the council pool but I am carrying a fair bit more lard around this year ____________________ Current bike: Honda ST1100 |

ran a half marathon yesterday, averaged the whole thing at 9.20 minute miles, but I ran the first 8 and walked/ran/walked the rest as it was too hot and my hips hurt from pushing running and cycling recently.
Also, 30 minutes after crossing the finish line I kept throwing up.
dehydrhation probably, wasn't that hot, about 23, but it's been cool lately, and all my running as been in the mid teens, so it did seem warm. |

Well, lockdown flab slowly going away.
Did a 5k park run in 24mins at Brighton, blowing a gale, with sidewways rain, t's a flat course though. Trail cycling once a week, running 3 times a week. Just got to lose the lard, so bye bye sugar and snacks
According to my smart watch my average heart rate is 53bpm, unless I run, in which case a 24hr average is 58bpm, and when I sleep it's 49bpm
Vo2 max is 42, want to get it back up over 45. but not bad for a 50 year old I guess. |

I need new shoes as my knees are starting to feel it, my Solarboosts are upto 800km.
As such, Ive gone from 78kg back to 81kg in one month |

I'm trail riding twice a week now rather than once, and still running 3 times a week VO2 Max now 44.
aches and pains though
though tbh, if I stop excercising altogether, the aches and pains I get are worse, different, but worse
growing old sucks |

I've not experienced that for a while.
I prefer to receive my endorphins in a more relaxed way.
I really should go back to swimming.

I don't think endorphins are the only factor in feeling physically good after exercise. Not to mention I feel mentally sharper. Although some may say it doesn't show ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I missed training this week due to the deadliest man killing dose of man-flu EVER EVER EVER!
Looking forward to next week now.
I might even think about having a second evening’s training every now and then .
OR , I could just have another pie? ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

New shoes day. Adios 6 for faster runs and the old model solar boost19's for everything else. The newer SB3's look like they have gone to plasticy blown rubber like most other shoes. I have 800km on my old SB19's, heavy but good. |

I hate this getting older sh*t!
I’ve lost a lot more muscle tone and strength than I realised over the last couple of years. (Absence, injures, covid restrictions, etc)
Did a couple of sparing bouts last night whilst training.
Both my opponents wiped the floor with me.
It’s made me realise that I really am getting older and losing strength, agility, stamina, & speed.
The good thing was that at least I got the heart pumping and a sweat on. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I turned 50 last autumn. I joined a judo club last week.
They were all very nice, and assured me that I was not too old. |

Right you’re never to old.
It’s just a case at what level you train/participate at.
Me = covid really fked my lungs up and now I train at weedy pussy level.
I’m never going to be a super ninja, so I don’t try to be one.
It gives me a little bit of flexibility and gets my ticker pumping. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I've noticed that with a lot of guys. They find it hard to "let go" of the macho-bollocks thing that is drilled-in practically from birth, and just cannot accept they can't do some stuff any more, and it really fucks them up.
But concentrating on flexibility and just keeping moving, seems to be the best thing you can do as you get older. I can still spring about when it suits me. Just not as much as I might have done when I were younger ... well, I might have done when I were younger - if I hadn't been so fat and lazy
I'm not planning to take up marathons, I might end up doing a bit of yoga or Tai Chi eventually, but for now dancing madly keeps me fitter than I used to be.
