Re: Meter board banter

I’ve been doing the holiday challenge instead of running and cycling. Should get to 200KM today. Might have a day off tomorrow 👍🏻

Thank you very much Plummy. Steroid injection, a good physio and lots of painful stretching sorted it out. Glad to get back on it 👍🏻

Re: Meter board banter

After going to the dark side and taking up cycling a few years ago I backed off the rower a lot. I Ordered a new model d and it arrived February 9th. I passed my other model d to my son and now we are challenging each other. It is great to have him to motivate me and now I just need to keep above hi...

Re: Meter board banter

After a spring and summer mainly road biking and running with just a little bit of rowing it is time to put the bike in the garage and get back upstairs to get some meters back on the board. Aiming to get back into the top half or top 150 should be a realistic goal and the holiday challenge is just ...

Re: Lifetime Millionaires Club

I managed to reach 8 million meters last week. So pleased and look forward to making 9 then 10 million.
Doing well on the meterboard but looking forward to warmer weather and light evenings so I can get out running and biking too.

200k holiday challenge.

I've been slowly building up the meters over the last few months and thought " what the hell, I will try the holiday challenge!" Finished it today with a couple of days to spare and also had 4 days off during the course of it. Hard work but feel bloody good for having done it. 12500 calori...

Re: Meter board banter

Started to like rowing again and I have made a slow and steady climb up the meter board. Into the top 120 which is a bit of a shock to me. Now that Autumn is on the way maybe stay in a bit more and go upstairs and knock some meters in.

A little bit insignificant in comparison to Ann but I just passed my 6 million meter mark today. I would like to celebrate with a cold beer but I have to get up at midnight to go to work.

Re: New Year, new ideas.

Jonathan, I hope you get better soon mate. It is a real pain not being able to train. I get a bit miserable when I can't do any cardio especially if I am on a long shift at work. The 5k Pete Plan looks good for me. I have also got a decent exercise bike and I am now doing 1 day rowing then 1 day bik...

Glad of the advice so far, as regards the strange times of work. Well............ I drive freight trains and they run 24/7 and I fit in around the shifts that I am rostered. Not much fun in the snow at the moment but we have to deliver the coal to keep the houses warm and light and the petrol to kee...
