Glad you are feeling better, Wp, and back exercising.

Well done on the significant weight loss, lammo 🎉
I’m doing good - following my training plan and menu (with just a few informed/intelligent tweaks). I’m lifting heavier weights at the gym and I did my first post-injury parkrun on Saturday. I’m not at May pace, but not as far off as I feared and my hamstring and hip both behaved impeccably.
I’m happy 😁

The sudden heat isn't something to be complacent about. We are not used to it this summer!

Exactly it has knock on effect as I sleep badly in the heat. My body battery was 52 this morning it has never been so low.But Covid takes ages to recover from.All I can do is be careful.

It's been a good week here so far with a bonus unexpected swim thrown in.

Need to keep the focus over the weekend, i have friends coming round for steak and rugby tonight, need to stick to a couple of beers.

Hoping to introduce more exercise next week.

Have a great weekend.

That sounds great, lammo.
Keep taking care, Wp.

No weight loss this week. I had lost 1kg up to Tuesday morning, but we took my dad to the seaside for the day for fish and chips and I put on 2kg (can't be fat), only half of which has come off again. So I'm the same as last week, despite being in calorie deficit for the other 6 days 😡.

We go away for a couple of weeks to Cornwall on Sunday, so have planned meals to hopefully limit weight gain. We have enough trips away in the camper van for it to not be a special occasion, so I mustn't use it as an excuse to over indulge.

Great work Lammo:-)

Things going okay Run 32 mins Monday, PT session Tuesday, Wednesday 32 minute run,Thursday 43 minute run and today 32 mins.HR is back today in the right place and only Monday was in the red zone.Still playing it carefully.

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?
