Training - What Training?!

I had a friend - admittedly in his 20s at the time, who used to run a mile for every pint he had drunk the previous evening. He became a pretty good runner off this strategy - on one occasion completing a 10 mile race in Dublin having arrived the day before with no accommodation booked, and spending the night in a pub lock-in.

Actually went outside on the bike! It’s been mild, dry with not much wind today but still grey. Fairly enjoyable apart from the cretins trying to kill me :roll_eyes:

Did I reply about that or just keep it in my head.

2017… I gave up the bike and played guitar for a year, well 8 months (got pretty good) but I went from 10½ stone to 14½ stone.

67kg to 89-90kg might have done the stone conversion wrong but close. The kgs are correct (not sure why I converted to stones… maybe because I was recently talking to the inlaws)

1km. Prolly pointless. Better than sitting in a chair.
