Well done for maintaining and sticking to your training plans Jaks.

I'm off to Spain today ( currently sat at the airport) so it's going to be a tricky couple of weeks but hoping lots of walking and running will offset any dietary lapses!

Great work. Really motivating. I've had a few wobbles if i'm honest and letting myself down. Now at sea and motivated to make the most of the period.

Am still pretty much maintaining- my trendline drifted very gently up for a while but is now slowly heading back down again - but this is all within a 3 or 4 lb difference.
Feeling much more like myself now, it’s been 7 and a bit weeks since I tested positive and nearer 9 since I started to feel under the weather. Am actually pleased and relieved that I haven’t put on loads of weight.

Time for a proper push, would be good to lose a stone before mileage gets too high and the miles need more feeding.

I can't weigh in this week but, after 4 days in Spain, if the roundness of my belly is anything to go by, it is probably not going that well :-)

I'm having a fab time though, sometimes you just have to live a little!
Hope everyone else is doing well.

Enjoy Spain, Sweetie.

I did all 3 runs I’d planned last week and this mornings intervals. However, I’m not feeling the love for resistance training so missed yesterday’s session and this morning’s.

I need to get that sorted as increasing muscle is the best way to boost my metabolism. I was doing it consistently but it’s starting to slide. I need a Pesterer to nag me to do them😁

enjoy Sweetie!
I'm finding that I am really not sleeping and recovering properly these last 10 days or so
not sure why
Garmin is constantly telling me my body battery is down and that my sleep and VHR is low
I don't feel 100% so think there is something to what it is saying but can't work out why
I was running many more miles a few months ago and OK

That’s how I was for a while, pre-covid Pix. I don’t think I rested properly after L50 at the end of July.
I thought I was taking it easy at the time but should probably have taken a couple of weeks properly off.
Then Covid flattened me so am now only just getting to feel normal.
Finding the train/recovery/fuel balance is flipping hard!

It's so frustrating
Problem is last week I resorted to "eat everything in sight" so made myself feel worse!
I've had some good runs but the next day I just want to stay in bed
All I did yesterday was run cook and knit yet still this morning it was nope not happening

I set my watch to 30/30 run walk to get me out the door yesterday, didn’t stick to it once I got going but it helps unstick the sofa glue.
