Put the day pack on with snacks and fluids, then headed out with the goal of knocking off 20km.
First 12 were a piece of piss, testing every 5 or so to refuel. They left hasn't started to complain shortly thereafter.
Got to 15.8km and the Garmin Battery looked a bit flat, so I changed over to phone. Merging those files fucking sucked, so the lesson is: charge your battery!
Will be interesting to see how I pull up tomorrow, and I'm now thinking about house much harder that would be with a full pack over terrain 😐
How many steps is 20km approximately. My phone only tells me steps, not distance.
About 23,000 for someone like me. For a big streak like you, probably less.

We racked up close to 33,000 on holiday in Akaroa earlier this year. “We” is a bit misleading though as the other half has shorter legs than me but her phone hasn’t got enough memory to download the app.
I’m not surprised we covered a few km, we walked all fucken day ( with a much needed pub stop at the end )

Weigh in Thursday morning - last week versus this week:
Week 0: Weight 107.80kg, Chest 117cm, Waist 115cm, Hips 116cm
Week 1: Weight 107.05kg, Chest 117cm, Waist 115cm, Hips 115cm
Week 2: Weight 106.60kg, Chest 117cm, Waist 115cm, Hips 115cm
Week 3: Weight 106.70kg
, Chest 117cm, Waist 114cm, Hips 115cmBit of a plateau weight wise - mainly to do with eating yesterday which was not great. I can't even use the excuse of being on annual leave, because I'm ALWAYS fucking home these days
but it is an opportunity to really smash next week's result.At least the waist is starting to come in a bit and I'll add more sessions for abs and body weight this week rather than just doing massive distance.
If the tape measure starts looking good, the weight is kind of irrelevant.

Slow start to October so far - motiviation a little low on the long weekend with a few drinks
but DST kicking in and going back to work gives me an opportunity to get back into it.Yesterday was a half-jog thing. The new Merrell Trail Glove 6 is a weird fit and I'm keen to see how long they last - the TG 4 and 5 were about 400km recorded but I also used them casually a fair bit.
Next step is to look at the calorie calculations on Strava and see what is the level of effectiveness of walking v running. As the weather heats up, taking walks in the middle of the day just won't be practical.

Rarely if ever an issue where I live.

Got to 37 here today. It's a bit of a shock to the system.

Fuck absolutely ALL of that. I love my seasons. Summer has it’s place but I love a nice fire while looking at a cold storm outside.
It’s still Spring !!!!
It’s a different 37 than it would be in NZ or am I imagining that ? I remember the garden thermometer in the wairarapa ( @NTA is a big fan of that place ) would get up and around there in Jan/Feb and literally all you could do was look for some shade and a cold beer.

@mn5 in Brisbane it would be sticky as well.
I remember watching the weather when I lived in Sydney and there was a difference of 10 or more degrees at times between the coast and more inland places.
Still, could say the same about Upper Hutt and the rest of Wellington I guess, it roasts out that way in Summer.

This week with DST starting, I've set the alarm for 0600 to get out and rack up some km.
Is it dark at 6am there mate? Is still for us so DST has meant a later start for any outdoor activity. And a much later start for any night time trail rides too
