Hours very similar to last week but this time included 2 decent run sessions & a solid turbo session. Shall get out to a club swim this evening.
Happy to be getting into a routine again but will be happier when weather lets me get for a longer ride or hilly run.
Have a great ā26 @Paul_L , donāt be a stranger

Looks like a pretty clear seasonality trend in those weight charts. Think a lot of us can probably understand that 
Work eh? Who needs it.

Basically did a speedrun of the tourist sites.
Bit stop/start and helping tourists take better photos, but one HM later 1:44:06

7h01m this week. Mostly running, 64km, with a couple of Zwift bikes.
Obviously no swimming.
Calfs still feel kind of strange and just a bit tight, but seems to be handling some slightly longer runs again now 
7h01m = 1 minute pulled back towards the āhour per day in 2026 goalā. Gotta take the small wins.
Edit: Progress report after 18 days of 2026:
Salvageable I think.
The ā100 drinks in 2026ā goal stands at 2 x 500ml Hobgoblin IPA. 98 drinks remaining. Not sure Iām going to manage that one.
Full disclosure, the ānumber of sash windows restored in 2026ā stands at zero. CBA.

Probably because you havenāt let it heal properly, havenāt had physio or done strength work?

I set out for a ~14k trail run on the moors, had hoped to get going before the rain turned up but it was very damp and drizzly, but hard a can of hard and got going 
it was pretty miserable into a cold wind as well for the first 3-4K which is mostly uphill.
Despite knowing this part of the moors fairly well I usually do this route in reverse, I took a left where I thought I was supposed to but hadnāt reached the long descent so I stopped to look at OS maps on my phone and it had me on the Cleveland Way track which runs parallel to this bit about 200m away, I was sure Iād taken the correct route though but visibility wasnāt great. I had made this cockup before though 
So I decided to take a short cut across the moor to get on the correct track and descent into the valley.
Except after about 10 minutes of wading through adder infested heather and bogs (one of which I fell into 
) I wasnāt on the path downhill! Looked at my phone and I was well past the track I wanted so clearly the GPS on my phone hadnāt been accurate.
After a bit more wading through sodden moor I got back on the Cleveland Way, I was getting quite cold by then as I hadnāt been running so just decided to head back the way Iād come and call it character building it might be easier to burn my shoes, socks & leggings!
Iām fairly sure Iāll die through misadventure one day 
although I wonder if thereās a gap in the market for some kind of small navigation device you could possibly wear and it tells you where to go, like those ones you get for cars!
That means Iāve barely done 6 hours this week but around 2.5 hours of running. I did a couple of gym sessions as well but was tired on one of them so it was a token effort. I am considering a short go in the garage soon though if I can get motivated.

Another 13 hours logged last week, so last three weeks have been 13hr 50m / 12hr 24m / 13hr 3m - so moving in the right direction and some small improvements starting to show through.
Did a swim set from Scientific Triathlonās podcast last week in the pool this morning
2 x (6 x 100m v.hard) 2:1 work:rest with 200m easy inbetween.
Managed to get 5 of the 12 under 1:30 which was nice, even if I did feel sick.
