    Racked up another 3 and a bit after the morning run the other day, then did the same yesterday to test out the new watch. So close to 8km both days. Definitely getting quicker and hills aren't as gruelling.

    Think the best bit is no stopping and I haven't used an inhaler while running in at least over a month - don't even bother taking it with me if it's less than 5km. A nice freedom.

    What watch did you get?

    @voodoo ticwatch pro 4g. Wanted to be able to leave the phone behind completely yet still ring Bonesetta when I inevitably break myself 5km from home.

    Seems neat so far. Wanted wear OS so I could download music from play and seemed like a good option for Strava or linked apps. Haven't tried Strava yet as not sure if the notifications work, might test it today.

    @Bones I haven't seen that before. Looks sweet. Though while I hear you on the ability to make calls when in trouble, I really dislike the idea of being able to receive them when exercising.

    @voodoo throw in a pair of these and it's not that bad, don't even need to break a stride (like last Saturday when I got lost and was being picked up so had to answer the phone while continuing on at "pace" to get to a pickup spot).

    Got these as I like to listen to music at the gym, but was getting nauseated... ambient sound mode fixes that.

    Little 3km blast yesterday at 4:50 average. After cracking 3 sets in leg workout and an hour or so after lunch. Felt great in all exercise yesterday.

    So I downed 7 440s.

    Anyway hopefully a tipping point on the exercise.

    5km yesterday and today. 99.8km overall. Something to aim for next month then.

    Dipped under 93kg today though!

    You had ridiculous heat for London. Sunniest month in the history of the UK apparently.

    @MajorRage yeah but a year ago I was in Sunshine Coast and it was pretty similar. In Winter.

    But yeah nah, it's been wicked eh! Since lockdown and doing a workout (outside) everyday, we haven't had to shelve it once and only had to postpone it to the arvo one day. Nuts.

    Yeah couples run yesterday to hit a good steep hill to try and get Bonesetta to handle the smaller ones better. Then a slightly longer run for me in the arvo but man it was tough for some reason. About 8km total.

    Rest day today because fuck leg day.

    Couple runs blah blah just over 8km blah blah pretty ordinary on the workouts but helping the bro reno a bathroom so some half decent manual labour I wouldn't usually do.

    Second run yesterday was home from his and hit a couple of sweet hills and managed to keep it at 5:09/km for just shy of 4km, felt pretty good throughout too.

    Since you're nearly 50, this is a good article to put here-I hope.
