Well apart from the irritation I’ve posted about the new layout, today was a really productive gym session. Speed and power work, doing a deadlift double type EMOM but in the 2 min mark for 20mins. So worked out to be 10 sets, the into some plyo stuff and core bits .
Slowly getting the my worth back up, scales show I’m at 74kg now, need to add another 4kg to be where I want to be after a tough winter. Shower and coffeee time then off for a driver fitting

Did 7 miles in the wind and rain, up and down hills, in the face of adversity......which sounds exactly like the walk to school my dad bangs on about.Don’t do it
Stayed the same this week, going to put some weights in next week. I don't do any.

First physio session today, and no more running for me. At least not until I start a load of gym work to build up knee strength and support. Bloomin osteoarthritis diagnosis.
On a plus side, looks like I can get a cheap gym membership due to my diagnosis.
Although I can't to running training now, I've still sort of asked him if I can still do the Lincoln 10K if I promise to run really really slowly. He hasn't ruled it our completely, and we'll review it in a couple of weeks. But I could tell he really wanted to just say no.

It'll still be there next year mate, not worth it. Rest up and get it sorted.

Where do you get your "Y". Yarborough parkrun is about a mile from my house, I think that is a popular one for A-Z parkrunners
Good luck

I did Yarborough in 2023 when staying I’m Lincoln. We played Woodhall Spa as well. The hill was a killer

Hope every forumite is doing well. I think back to lots of meets very fondly (King of Kings; various Forest Pines trips and Gainsborough etc) and many local bounce games.
That said, in all honesty I haven’t had any notion to hit a golf ball since I stopped 4/5 years ago.
I’m very much plugged into the world of ultramarathons ‘enjoying’ races from 30 to 50 miles at a time, with a big goal race this year to run the 95 West Highland Way. This completely replaced my golf obsession.
Half the weight I was when I last teed up too! Being a slow average runner is a much better fit for me than being a heavy rubbish golfer. The only downside is not having connections on here any more which I very much valued throughout my golfing years.
Hope everyone is doing ok.

You should do an AMA on here
My question would be how do you manage to stay injury free/work through injuries? From that perspective golf is a much kinder on your body hobby.
Also, in your view, what’s more difficult ultras or road marathons? As far as I understand the majority of ultra runners run to finish - not to win/make a specific time which is in theory more manageable than trying to run a PB in a marathon. Obvious there are exceptions like Barkley where finishing IS winning

Injuries come through overuse- it’s about building up miles gradually and doing lots of easy runs, not just going guts out all the time. Being lighter and stronger also helps. Golf- I was injured with a bad back multiple times.
Ultras and road marathons are different kinds of pain. It depends on whether you are ‘racing’ or just enjoying yourself. Road marathons are a more intense pain and a lot more stress. Ultras tend to be long, sustained pain and you need to be really mentally strong and able to think ‘only a marathon to go’ is a relief.

3x 35 minutes spin home sessions this week. Fitness has really gone but loving being back in the seat. Eating better and I've even got my wife into trying to do some home exercise sessions as we've just booked to go to the Maldives next year.
Still doing my physio on my shoulder which I think is gradually feeling a bit better but really want to start on some free weights but I think I'll have to wait. Going to try get out for 9 holes this week as I have a day off. Fingers crossed
