My new gym is a bit strange, an awful lot of guys with cameras recording their workout and donā€™t get me started on the guys training without their tops on :roll_eyes:

From what I can see this is a growing problem, I think gyms need to get on top of it as itā€™s not a public place and I may or may not want to be in the background of someoneā€™s insta post.
I really think it should be banned without specific permission or arrangements to prevent it encroaching on other peopleā€™s workout/enjoyment.

Saw my first person vaping in the gym last week
Cameras donā€™t bother me ( Iā€™m old and ugly but fitter / faster . Maybe not stronger than the vast majority of Insta lovies
Two guys training with no tops on got told very quickly to put them back on ( due to hyrox races this doesnā€™t bother me either )

Vaping ā€¦ is everywere
On the way in a few last puffs
As soon as there out there straight on it

In the gym is disgraceful !

Iā€™ve seen an odd one in the changing rooms which are fairly small so it doesnā€™t disperse, disgusting.

I actually wonder if itā€™s such a habit to them they donā€™t actually realise theyā€™re doing it.

Itā€™s worse than smoking for non smokers / vapists! Lol

Never seen any one smoking in a gym, cafe, pub, changing room, chippy reception, prison ! Weā€™re there not allowed too, vaping seen all these and worse.

Thousands vaping who have never smoked . Just crazy

V Short run and gym

Tried the quad out again. A mile and a half further (after first gym session) before it started to play up, which is encouraging. Fitness has taken a slide

Gym - minced around on the elliptical- really does that actually do anything? before legs, hammies, core, lunges etcā€¦ not bothering with any upper body stuff.

I need to get a replacement gear shifter for bike. I donā€™t think I can take much more of this! Itā€™s an odd injury - day to say stuff doesnā€™t effect me at all. Just repetitive pounding of running fā€™ks it.

14km run in the lovely sun :sun_with_face:

Run wasnā€™t great though except seeing the orange/yellow globe.
Dehydrated terriblyā€¦ over dressed.

So i managed to drag my lazy butt out a few times over the past few days.

Ran over the cliffs to the swimming pool to join the family on Saturday for a fun swim. Should be an opportunity to be quite regular with that slot in the winter when we have our winter membership. They may be opening the odd evening as well, so I may even go for a few ā€˜properā€™ swims. Itā€™s I a caravan park, so not setup with lanes etc. But it is 20/22m or so. Better than nothing and itā€™s all included until March.

Then a family walk on Sunday morning, which was slow but nice to be on the coast path again. Didnā€™t feel like running that evening whilst eldest was swimming. But i did force myself out for another walk, and ended up with a strong 80 min power walk on a slightly different section of coast path, nice and hilly again.

Again today, almost didnā€™t do anything. But the sun is trying to shine, and clouds are much higher; so did a lap of town for a 7km run.

Is it a coincidence that last night i had my highest sleep score in weeks? I didnā€™t wake up at 2:00 thinking/worrying about life stuff. Maybe this exercise stuff is good for you after all?!

Naaah - quad fā€™ked ā€¦ yesterday - :face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Pumped up the bike tyres. Shifter seems fine. Few weeks in the cold misty shite ahead to regain equilibrium

Could be worse
