Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
My progress on running around the perimeter of Wales has come to something of a halt thanks to the Coronavirus lockdown. It’s not the end of the world as I was never trying to set any records and never had a time limit in mind either. It’s an ongoing project that has taken me several...
At the start of Lockdown, I was still going out paddling as there was no official guidance or regulations not to. I was of course playing it safe and staying well within my capabilities so as to reduce the risk of having to call on the emergency services. But a lonely paddle on the sea...
The current lockdown situation has meant that I’ve been doing all of my cycle training indoors. This isn’t a huge issue for me as I quite often train indoors anyway and use TrainerRoad to give me a structured training plan full of structured indoor workouts. Now and then a nice easy scenic ride is called...
There will be a slight easing of the lockdown restrictions on Monday which will mean that we can go out to exercise more than once a day. You would think that with the amount of exercise that I usually do this would be music to my ears. However, the fact that we still can’t go...
With the lockdown still in full effect and a recovery day on the cards for me I decided to make the most of my allocated outdoor exercise with a nice easy walk. It was chilly in the breeze and there were April showers promised so I had a raincoat with me just in case as...
The Coronavirus lockdown has limited activities somewhat. I am only allowed out to exercise outdoors once a day. I can cycle on my turbo trainer indoors so I tend to have been saving my single outdoor allocation for running or for walks with Anna. At least that way I can maintain some sort of run...
I was paying around with some GPS Data using https://statshunters.com/ the other day. The idea is to get a complete GPS track of my Coast Path and Offa’s Dyke runs over the last few years so that eventually I’ll be able to plot out a complete circumnavigation of Wales. I haven’t got around to doing...
After making an attempt to continue with my Wales Coast Path Run a few weeks ago my plans to continue it over the Spring were scuppered by the Coronavirus Lockdown. Typically, every Tuesday since then has seen perfect conditions as well. Clear blue skies, light winds and pleasant temperatures. The travel restrictions have of course...
I do like making pretty heart rate traces. Here’s the one from my lunchtime run today. Nice hey? It has my run pace on it as well. All courtesy of a 10x 1min interval session. I didn’t really feel like it to start with so the first few intervals were a little lack-lustre but I...
Making the most of my One Excursion per Day With the Coronavirus lock-down in full effect, we are only allowed one excursion outside to exercise each day. I thought I’d make the most of it today. The weather was forecast to be really nice. I’d already done lots of University work from home on Monday...
