Feeling like a sack of spuds, and with a very unhappy knee, this was a dispiriting effort. Time to step off the Conveyor belt to Corpulence and start climbing the Steep Staircase to Slimness; I no longer have the metabolism of a 20 year old. Hell, I don't even the metabolism of a 40 year old! As for the knee? Time to test how many packets of ibuprofen I'm allowed to buy in one visit to the supermarket...

Strength training (Circuits) 30:00 [1]

Got roped into a Joe Wicks session with the fam. Lots of jumping aboot. Might regret it later!

"Running" with Eilidh but I see that Garmin/AP has correctly classified it as walking!!! Little Ms Lazybones needs to be dragged out much more regularly, starting today. More walking than jogging, but it's a start.

Unhooked the Croix de Fer from the turbo and took it out for a bit of gravel action. Even on the standard (35C!) tyres it was fine, except maybe when I needed to stand up; and the ride was velvety. Then it was up for some bombing along the Sherrifmuir road, too! Top bike.

ahr:130 max:156 shoes: Genesis Croix de Fer 30 2016

Left knee still a bit unhappy after Thursday's spin, so I stuck to the garage rather than get stranded on the road. I'd hoped to do the complete Three Sisters route, but the gammy joint wasn't up to it, so - just two female siblings it was. I was ready for my breakfast by then, anyway!

Couldn't sleep (work worries) so got up and went for a brisk walk early doors. A bit of fresh air and exercise works wonders.

Zwift: Stuart Rennie's Meetup - Surrey Hills.
The first rule of Zwift Meetup is: don't miss the meetup.
I missed the meetup. Which meant that, although I could join them shortly after they'd started, I wasn't "in the group" and therefore not in the "rubber band". This meant that I kept piling off the front on the (many!) climbs, although those guys are all WAY better cyclists than me; they just have accurate power meters ;-). Pretty good workout accompanied by a Zoom session of 6 sweaty blokes in their respective garages. How life has changed!
My knee didn't like the hills as much as the rest of me did, and swelled up in a huff afterwards. That much hasn't changed.

Jamie needed to get oot the hoose - my turn to get his chat today. Very pleasant wee stroll; investigated the route off the Old Glen Road that I've been seeing others use recently - v nice. Wrist-based HR total garbage, as per.
