Good call, I’ll see what they say. It’s not the end of the world, my concern is that the more recent machines they’ve been handing out are of a lower spec than this one I got >3 years ago, and I’d rather have something that’s always plugged in and does the job than something new that hangs all the time.
Feels like a problem for Future Iain to worry about. That guy’s going to hate Present Iain when his machine is completely FUBAR!
I don’t but I do have an old tower gaming PC that I bought from a friend who was moving to the US and didn’t want to ship it. I never got around to doing anything with it, so maybe that’ll be the answer.
replaceable battery? Not been in mac’s in what 8 years? And not in Dell, Thinkpad, HP for quite a few, you must be handing out some old kit!
(personally I “BYOD” so I get to use a nice X230 rather than dealing with that old shit.
do i want to go for a trot in that manky, cold rain and wind? Or do i just do a decent yoga session or something instead?! 
Get out there !
I’m out at 12:30 …
Need a filling … too much tailwind !
Yeah i went for yoga!! 
It was dark, howling with wind and chucking it down, so i did a double yoga session instead. Really needed that actually as my back has been complaining again due to poor office setup.
I have to leave three days between my test runs, so as much as I’d like be out there, yeah nah, Dr’s orders and all that. 
Unlike several other shirkers…!
14 k ish in 1:12.
Av hr 141.
Headwind for at least 13 of them… it felt like.
Nice to be outside
After 15 days of rowing and weights, I finally got back on the treadmill.
Only 5k, steady 5 minute k’s.
Legs (and importantly calf) felt great. My heart rate and lungs on the other hand…
90 minute turbo
Achilles little bit achy at about 75 minutes in
224W NP / 100 HR / 0.68 IF / 2.24 EF
Went to do a TR over-under session and just about got through the warm up, before realising it wasn’t going to happen. Ended up doing a 70 minute spin on Zwift.
6km tester at easy pace. I think I can still feel it but not sure. I’m seeing the physio this arvo so will get an update then,
11.5km on the rower
2km warm up and then a 7 x 1km pyramid with 2mins active row between each 1km. each km was 2 secs quicker per 500m than the previous until #4 and then back down. felt good!
No run this morning.
Did some single leg calf raises with a 17.5kg dumbbell with no pain at all.
Colleague at work is a sports massage therapist, so she spent 20 minutes digging into the knots in my calf.
Hopefully caught the issue before it was acute.
One hour bike intervals
Min on
Min off
5 min warm up and down, av hr 161 and failed the last two efforts so pretty perfect effort wise.
Horrid but they are supposed to be… right ?
Not much today. a 4.5km walk to the roasting place to pick up ‘essential’ supplies. Pottered in the garage, Another test run planned tomorrow.
25 laps of the Volcano
2:42:38
246W NP / 113 HR / 0.75 IF / 2.18 EF
Dunno where to stick this but it doesn’t warrant its own thread…
Treadmill running… Why am I finding it so hard??
Ok so my running isn’t great at the minute. Squeaked a sub 20 at new year…10k in sub 43 last week.
Get on treadmill…5k in 23 mins and heart rate bouncing off max… couldn’t go on., Plan was for 10k.
Proper warm up. 3 fans on. Had a rest day yesterday. Legs felt like a hamster, watch suggests cadence of 165 (bit slower than I’d do outside…last 10k outside was 178).
Treadmill is calibrated with the ruun thing (on zwift) and pretty close to read out anyway.
Used to love treadmill running (many years ago).
Had a great treadmill session this morning …
2km warm up. 12x1km at 13kmh with 1 min walk between. 5 min cool down. Raised the temperature in the garage by 3 degrees during the session.
Moment of the day was realising that my footsteps at 13kmh on a treadmill are exactly in time with the drumbeat in the Foo Fighters Monkey Wrench 
Late afternoon easy 11km with Mrs T and the dog
