It was one of those moments when you see your rear wheel out of the corner of your eye and you’re curious as to how you’re going to bring back in check :grinning:

First time on my bike in a couple of months. First ‘training’ in over 3 weeks. First ‘training’ since the cough developed last Friday, and positive PCR on Monday.

Being on the bike… TrainerRoad session, I put my FTP way down (to where it probably actually just now) and it was an easy session anyway, so that was OK. But being a bit on the chunky side, and not having been in the saddle for a while was a rude awakening for my arse.

First ‘training’ in over 3 weeks… At the start of December all my motivation seemed to vanish out of an open window. It’s not really returned, but I wanted to do something to see how my body was fairing.

First ‘training’ since the cough… I went out for a walk on Sunday evening (before I knew why I felt like crap and I assumed it was just from too much time indoors) and just vague inclines were a struggle, so in that regard it was a relief to get a positive PCR test on Monday. Today’s effort felt as easy as I would have expected, so that’s encouraging.

Now I think it makes sense to just keep taking it easy, and doing what feels good.

Well done for getting back on it.

Morning strides for me, legged it back, showered just in time to join the morning stand up. Which had been cancelled ten minutes before starting. Again.

The run was nice though, dipped into the woods. :slightly_smiling_face:

Really easy hour on the turbo. My arse is not loving 100kg of me being back in the saddle!

13k walk for me today, broke into the odd trot to get warm. I can’t remember the last time it wasn’t grey and drizzly here!

Edit: still hoping to get on Zwift though.

Parkrun for me, think I just scraped under 20 minutes. Hard going though.

Was expecting a bigger turnout tbh.

I woke up at 8am, after a terrible sleep of sweating and coughing.

Feel fine now. No cough and temp normal

LFT was negative this morning.

I’m probably recovering from 19hrs exercise in 5 days. Or the same I’ve done in the past month :see_no_evil::rofl:

parkrun for me too, been so long since I did a race of any sort that I forgot to stop the watch at the finish, oops, likely mid 21s I’d guess
