Training - What Training?!

:man_biking: 90 minutes very easy and…

Training mainly consisted of falling down the stairs… hence no run, and more training getting more ice out of the freezer.

Scheduled run was 12km easy… aggh!

Felt like it.

Somehow got loose, bouncing around. Not great when you’re locked onto a spin bike!

I ran a 1:20 half marathon over that. Stop making excuses. :sweat_smile::kissing_face_with_closed_eyes:

You can see my belly wobbling in the photos.

I’d also just got married, moved house, moved jobs and hadn’t ran over 11km in 4 years.

Today should have been a 21.1km but it could be a while before I can run again, could be 5-7 days or 5-7 weeks.

Off work yesterday couldnt walk most of the day.

It is much better this morning but still painful.

Dont look!

^ looks okay actually, had much worse looking which have cause less pain and inconvenience.

Managed to get 2 rides in this weekend on the newly reassembled Canyon Endurance. 60km yesterday and 40km today, both on wet slippy Dorset back roads.

Enjoyed it. Got to say the Canyon feels much better suited to these roads than the straight flat dusty cycle paths it has known until this point. Really stable and pretty responsive. Flawless shifting too- in Doha I hardly ever needed to change gear. Or steer. Just point it forward and pedal.

My bum is out of practice though & it currently hurts a bit to sit on a hard surface :neutral_face:
