Morning.

I am officially out of training plan and at a loss. No events to train for before August and that is a difficult trail so I can't do any trail practice until May.

Someone is going to say "hill work" and I am going to say "lalalalalala I can't hear you."

Neg 5 and loads of snow out.

Also fat. Back to where I was 3 years ago and could do with losing 6kg (about a stone). Please encourage and don't tell me I am "fine" as I am. I felt much better and ran much better without that stone.

Would focusing on weight training help ITG? Or come on a trip over and run Hastings here :-)

ITG 🇮🇸
I loved my crossfit gym but it was an early pandemic casualty. I tried out another gym (the only one really doing anything similar) because I got a free month as a running prize but I didn't really enjoy it and it's still not a good time to shell out a lot of cash on gym membership and then not feel safe with Covid flying about. Gyms are manky paces and to be quite honest, have a surplus of young, arrogant people who don't take covid seriously. I've got access to a gym at work (which is usually empty or close to it) where I can do most things but motivation is a big problem :/ I'd like to do weights/circuits once a week and yoga once a week.

So! Bring on motivation! Get ITG to lift heavy shit. Including her waistine.

Morning!

My sore throat has returned with a vengeance. Still testing negative on LFTs (most recently yesterday evening) but once I've walked the dog and done my 4km RtS I think I'll hide away for the rest of the day!

Morning :-)
A quiet day sounds in order LD, look after yourself.
Any virtual events you could enter ITG? Can help to keep the mojo going in the absence of real events....

Morning all.
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm still getting negative LFTs despite my daughter's positive tests.
I have over a stone to lose so also feeling fat.
My brain is not enjoying work-mode.

Morning all . Welcome to 2022 proper.

I too have lingering 'Round Covid' and have way too much 'visceral fat' so my app and my scales tell me, especially if I am to do silly things on my bike in the Alps in the summer. 8-10lbs to shift here.

JFDI ITG :-)

Morning all, I’m feeling surprisingly ok after my longest run for ages yesterday. It was only 13km but it’s a start in getting some distance back. I’m also trying to shift some weight, turns out if you go from marathon training to 20 mile weeks you don’t need to eat as much 😅
