Not sure this achieved much but went out with no set plan of what I was supposed to be doing.

10 mins warm up
5 mins at 6.49mi
90 secs jog
5 mins at 6.47mi
cool down

Should've been either x2 10 mins or x3 5 mins but overcooked the pace a bit for my conditioning so just did x2 5mins, could've tried the 3rd 5 mins but it may have turned sloppy or not a quality effort/lap. Next time maybe 7.10 - 7.20 mi.

Wasn't trying to set a 1km time but Garmin captured a new PR of 4:10.

Had a bit of knee gyp the other day, not runner's knee kneecap related but on the side maybe IT Band stuff or I've knocked it so taking a few days break from running and did bike today.

Never really took the cycling too seriously, more recreation plus exercise, no fueling strategy just water.

Could do with adding more strength training tbh but never had a gym subscription.

Yeah that’s where I saw this. My take away was, it’s first important to find out what makes you happy, then find the guidance. Don’t just mimic the first intelligent person you meet.

We all need to learn our lessons. I’ve been fortunate to not go into any shitcoins, thanks to my maximalist friend.

Dried (2 years), split mostly once or twice (so each piece needs to 1-2 axe encounters before going into the stove). Delivery is done via trailer that unloads somewhere close to the house. Usually sold in batches per stacked cubic meter. You can also get cheaper wood if you order younger, so 1 pre-...

First attempt at a dedicated 5k, looked at the watch with 0.35 miles to go and thought I was going to die but once I'd finished and walked for 5 mins started thinking "That wasn't too bad" 😂

All I see in the UK is construction and building work on greenbelt or farmland. There's an industrial/business park not far from me and they're now expanding it into several acres of previous farmland, the hedgerows and the odd oak trees that separated the fields have all been cut down and bulldozed, want to hear the kicker? A few of the units on the existing business park have laid empty for years.

Then there's the sprawling new build housing estates spreading out in every direction of most small towns totally devoid of wildlife and greenery just brick and tarmac with a few square metres of shit lawn and paving for a garden.

The amount of speed cameras popping up everywhere is getting kinda crazy as well, not just one or two but several spread out along most routes even B roads that measure your speed from one to the other, if the paedo elites want to roll out their dystopian 15 minute cities - the UK will no doubt be the testing ground.

I know wilderness and homesteading is often overglamorised and can actually be a tough life but these new build housing estates are just soul crushing.
