    @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.

    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.
    Lower body muscle disappears as we age.

    Yikes!

    Fucking nearly 50!

    Anyway had a quick look at the study, I definitely don't have the patience to read that. Muscle disappears in old age isn't anything astounding is it? I couldn't see where they mentioned at what age they considered it started disappearing.

    Well I'm nearly 60!!

    I'll read, but guessing it is referring to over 50s who drive everywhere. Cycling up hills seems to be holding things at bay -- so far!
