Recent Notes
A bit slow but that was the point, to try and bring my heart rate down and run easy miles without stacking fatigue.
Driving myself mad with YouTube videos and "Zone 2" talk, I can't even shuffle round the block without hr going over 140bpm, averaged 146bpm today over half marathon distance but it's the hills that are pushing me into 150-160 territory, total ascent over the run was 678ft which isn't much overall but the last half hour was all a steady climb which was holding me at 154bpm. Maybe a drink or carbs while out may have helped bring it down but I didn't take anything with me.
Going to get a chest strap because they're more accurate.

Not sure Bryan Johnson would approve .
Maybe all lagers are crap but Peroni seems better than cheap corn syrup and chemical sweet swill like Carling & Fosters.
Shouldn't be glamorising Medieval times as 90% of the population was born into serfdom under the feudal system but Medieval ale appeals to me, brewed frequently by an ale wife because it contained no preservatives, calorie dense and often called liquid bread, unfiltered and packed with vitamins and minerals.
Everything nowadays seems full of chemicals and preservatives.

Old bike and too many rides in the rain without mudguards equals water ingress and a crunchy headset.
Knocked the cups out and the bearings aren't even the sealed type as you can see a cage, vernier caliper reads 28.6mm on the folk tube and 43.9mm in the frame so seems a standard size, some places list them as 1-1/8 threadless 44mm zero stack.
Banged some grease in for now but should be able to replace them with a kit - cups, sealed bearings etc as long as I can get the crown ring off my folks.
Gets to the stage where you'd be better off just getting a new bike.

Fasted recovery ride, the goal was to keep it light - spinning not mashing - keep the heart rate low - flush the legs.

Place I was working at the time had a meeting out on the yard, we all had to stand 2 metres apart and were issued a bottle of alcoholic hand-wash, antibacterial spray (the local store had run out so I think one person was given oven cleaner) paper towels, our own toilet rolls and masks. People were losing their minds getting hysterical because you walked through the wrong door or you didn't have your paper mask on. 🤡 🌎
Probably shouldn't have left it until I was over 40 to start running 🫣
First time trying interval training, warmed up with a 2.5 mile slow run at 11 min/mile pace and tried to keep my heart rate low, then the plan was 30 second sprints following by 2 minutes recovery walk/jog x6.
Felt a bit goofy manually starting and stopping the watch while aiming for 30 seconds, not being used to sprints I needed the full 2 mins recovery in between.
The best lap was actually the last 0:31.3 seconds, 0.1 mile, 5:04 min/mile pace.
It was pissing it down, cold and windy, ran the intervals on a side road and then 0.8 mile jog back.
Next thing to do is work on threshold tempo maintaining better pace for 20 mins, no benchmark yet but guessing 8:20 min per mile approx.

take some magnesium
Shouldn't people ideally get a blood test to see if they're actually deficient in things before taking supplements? Although I recently started taking Vit-D on the assumption I'm low because there's never any sun in the UK.
I miss when boy bands were named after classic novels we were supposed to read in high school.
The Pulitzer Prize winning 'The Adventures of New Kids on the Block'
I could envisage AI robots installing utilities on a new build if the site was geared up for them and they were following a repeatable layout but robots crawling in loft spaces, under floors or trying to diagnose and repair existing plumbing or electrics in old houses won't be happening in my lifetime.

Is this Silent Hill or the UK? Potholes everywhere, rain everyday, constantly grey, no sun for weeks at a time.
It's that bad I've ordered some Vitamin D tablets, never bothered with supplements before and wouldn't trust half the stuff that's sold online (Ebay) vs buying from stores such as Holland & Barrett.
Supposedly you can get Vitamin D from oily fish and some from Eggs but nowhere near what you get from direct sunlight on the skin.
Absolutely unreal that globalist lunatics say the sun needs dimming to save the planet, more like these pedo's want to kill us off and destroy the food supply.
