Perhaps you'll feel better as I'm skipping core-ex totally today, so even more feeble :)

EMWM for 15 minutes, chin-ups, all pairs. So 30 in total. Had to cut it short to start to prepare dinner. Such a pathetic excuse - makes me feel...

Since my son is doing the Fred Whitton today to inspire him I did a 40 mile pootle through Appletreewick and on to Grassington, Cracoe, Rylstone ...

Great to meet you today Bob and to put a face to the name. Congratulations on another great MV65 win at Pendle. That category is so competitive and...

Great effort - demonstrating nicely that you need to do them to be able to do them!

Press-ups, chest to floor, EMWM for 36 minutes. 3 x 10, 20 x 6, 13 x 4. Total 202. So much harder than press-ups with a bar.

A jaunt across to Church Stretton for more hill reps on the Lawley. Last time i managed 4 reps between 8:39 - 8:45 I felt good warming up, but...

Yep. Of course you can wear a heart monitor and try and match your maximum pulse in the two activities at speed. When running/walking no climb is...

Just to chuck my opinion in, I've always gone by the rule that distance cycling to running compared 4:1 and that ascent is approximately equal....
