@antipodean is that missing something? A 42 hour marathon isn't really worth writing home about...
Well I'd write everywhere about it! I fucken congratulate myself on doing 8kms in 2 days. 42 would be phenomenal.
I'd back you to do 1km per hour for 42 hours straight. You'd just need a decent supply of gatorade and fried chicken...

I should admit to throwing stones from inside my glasshouse. I've run exactly once this week.

Neither is 65km in 16 days.
Is funny, at first glance a 42hr mara seems crazily slow, but when you break it down and think about doing it in chunks and with breaks, but presumably no training, it seems way harder.
Like doing a half marathon today, then again tomorrow, seems kind of harder than just doing one marathon today (at a crawling pace)

I Have done exactly fuck all this week, and I feel blah...being a bit cooler and a bit of drizzle in the sky hasnt been that encouraging to get out there too.
Been a cnut of a week at work, busy AF, glad its over, need to kick start shit tomorrow
Am back in the office for a few days next week too, so will help restart a bit of normality

God I want to gif. Where's my laptop?

Out golfing today, nice walk, hit some good shots, hit more shit ones.
Not sure bout the 217 max HR though...I did run back to a previous green where i left my putter and back up a hill to the tee, but think something not quite right...
-
@taniwharugby the panic when you realised you'd left your favourite putter?
-
@taniwharugby maybe just the thought of having to buy a new one then.

Went for a ride with TR Jnr, fully intent on trying to smash one of the segments out there (570m hill sprint) but about 10 sec after I started the segment, it started raining, heavily!
Got to the top and sheltered under a tree for about 5 mins...so didn't beat my time
HR no where near what I got yesterday at golf, so as I thought, something not right yesterday.
-
Got a gym session in on sat - upper body. Bit of an allrounder of welcome back to the gym. Still pretty sore today but hopefully back in there.
Also a couple of short rides on sat with the kids, a beach swim (more just bombs off the rocks) and then yesterday got 9 holes in with the lad.

Just getting over doms from last week. Wanted to train yesterday but that fell through due to work. Loving getting access to weights again... but concerned that someone has replaced them with far heavier ones!! the struggle is REAL!

See if you focus on chins, dips, rope climbs, tyre flips, push up variations and shit like that then excuses like this don't wash
Wellingtons uncharacteristically outstanding weather during lockdown meant I barely missed a workout either.
