4 mile run at lunchtime. It was a struggle.

Re: January 2023 fitness
I thought I’d not got a place at Dance Step, then happened to check at 5pm and I’d been booked on. I was going to do the LM+ too, but I might drop down to the 30 min instead of 55 min BodyPump.

Re: January 2023 fitness
Walked to and from the pool. Usual 1100m swim then a longer walk this afternoon. We decided against RPM as it probably would have been a bit too soon for C as he's really not recovered fully from COVID* and he suggested a walk (which is unusual at the moment so I grabbed the chance!)
I've done double my step count today!
*I'm not fully recovered but he had it worse than me #mancovid ;)

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.

Re: January 2023 fitness
Just did a team trail run and it was that grim out there in the fields and hills that it took over an hour to get 5k done. I even have mud in my ears and finger nails and I didn't come close to falling over.
Absolutely brilliant fun.

Re: January 2023 fitness
I’m just back from Yoga then BodyPump. I managed to sproing my right Achilles yesterday somehow, so I did both classes with my foot strapped up in one of those Velcro/neoprene/elastic contraptions. Worked surprisingly well and gave me a visible excuse to wimp out from lunges (in all fairness, it wasn’t reacting well to them) and do lots of extra squats instead.
I have to say I’m liking BodyPump 123 a LOT. I am finding squats, chest and back tracks to be relatively do-able, and I think I will have to up my weights again (currently 7.5 per side for squats, 6 for chest and 7 for back).

I was very busy at work so didn’t have time for the gym today, but I’ve managed over 10,000 steps and some yoga.

Re: January 2023 fitness
Pilates last night was mostly mobility stuff because it had been nearly a month since the last class.
Today I’ve done BodyPump, and BodyBalance this morning, and kettlebells this afternoon. I’m now a day behind on LesMills, but I’m just going to work through it on days I’m not doing real life classes, as I think that’s the best approach.

Re: January 2023 fitness
Oh god, Sal
I tried an interval session this morning. A Mike it so jog to warm up and then 1 min running relatively quick followed by 2 mins walking. Was meant to be x 10 but I gave up at 8 as I was meant to be working by then!
I haven’t done one for absolutely ages for various reasons, but need to start getting back into them as part of my training plan. It wasn’t nice and I didn’t go very well, but I’m pleased I got out and did it.

7 miles eeked out today. Had some stomach issues that meant I had to stop back home a couple of times, but I got there in the end. I’m a bit off track with my training, but pleased with over 20 miles this week.

Re: January 2023 fitness
That’s brilliant going if you ask me.
We did a frantic and frenetic Dance Step this morning. All old pros, so we managed 5 routines vs the 3 on Wed.

Re: January 2023 fitness
I went back swimming this morning. I didn't go on Thursday as I was just knackered, same for parkrun.
I am going to RPM later though.

Re: January 2023 fitness
I did my usual Sunday double bill of BP then yoga. He did a remix for BP and I swear he hadn’t thought his track selection through very well, each track was towards the “oh shit” end of the ok~>challenging range. Halfway through he said “I must have been in a bad mood when I put this together. Ah well, Happy New Year!” (with a shit-eating grin).
Just Spirit today, I sacked off Zumba as I wasn’t feeling it.

Re: January 2023 fitness
Running club straight from work tonight. 1 mile warm up from station to club and then a fairly slow 5 miles. Still not feeling it but keeping the faith
