Oh no! But you are right to listen to your body, and as Smal has said, you're only postponing.

Definitely only postponing, if I am! My plan would be to do Toulouse in October, and then re-attack Paris in 2021.

Re: February Fitness
Your plan overall sounds good and sensible - either way you will do the Paris and hit your pre-birthday deadline. Trust your gut.
I walked and it was just lovely.

Commute to and from work...just shy of 20km. Should have been more but I couldn't be arsed to get.out of bed this morning
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Couldn't be arsed to go to the gym today so a quick and dirty kettlebell workout at home. 200 KB swings, 100 KB presses, 55 pushups plus a nice movement flow thing (squat jump to cobra to jackknife to getup, repeat).

40min run, bribed W to come out on his bike so we went at 4.45, and it wasn't even totally dark when we got back. It was fun.

I went to spin tonight, I was running a bit late so arrived about 5 minutes after the start. After 30 minutes, he started the warm down, and I was like "oh shit, it must have been a 5pm start, not 5.15!" then one of the guys in the class said "er, you've got another 15 minutes to go mate"
I was slightly disappointed but the last 10 minutes were ok. It was CrotchGuy who I hate but needs must!

Re: February Fitness
5K tonight but I totally screwed up recording it. At least I was going for gentle run rather than record time this evening.

Re: February Fitness
I hit the gym tonight and upped my time on the cross trainer to 40 minutes. I’m getting a bit quicker too. Still- a long way to go and need to start playing with the other equipment

Re: February Fitness
Hill reps here tonight and it went well considering I was doing them on my own.
Time to up the distance though, I'm not going nearly far or high enough at the moment and I feel as though I'm good to push it some more.
Still, that's 3 times I've been out this week so far and that's good going for me.

I wanted to throw up just reading your “nice move” Geek
Well done runners, riders, walkers and pilaterers!
We had a 5k club race last night. I hate the winter 5k route, and I wasn’t feeling very good at the start, AND there wasn’t anyone of a similar pace around me to work off ( ) but somehow managed a 30 second PB

Oh! Well done! Unexpected end to that sentence. It's always the way, sometimes it's hard because you're going really fast

Re: February Fitness
My PT gave me the following session to do;
250m row with the rest equal to the time rowed x 5 times
10 press-ups, 10 sit ups, 20 russian twists x 3
I know I have to take things slowly/build up gradually but it was ridiculously easy.

Re: February Fitness
I had to look up jack knife, but we were doing those last night in Pilates. A much gentler session than Geek, I’d bet!
I’ve just been up to the park to do the outdoor HIIT session (did my bear crawls indoors first though). I must’ve looked insane taking my kettlebell up the road.
Easy is good, Wiggle? Means you’re ready to level up?

I've messaged my PT and get some advice, Pip. I want/need to up my intensity but I know I need to be patient.

Re: February Fitness
Is there any way you can check who is running the class before you go, Sal?
I love that you marched down to the park with your kettlebell, Pip!
I walked. My lucky run on the weather ended though - it was a bit showery in patches but the wind was an absolute nob.
