IceCreamMan Posted December 11, 2020 Share Anyone finding it really difficult to motivate yourself to keep training? I reckon thats completely understandable. One trains with goals in mind including the event itself. When there is uncertainty it does make motivation problematic. Take some breaks , there is much time to Nov 2021.

No bricking session for me on Sunday, I'll join him for a slow ass ride down the greenbelts to Bootleggers and back again. Then he'll message me 20 mins after we get home and say something like OMW that's just what I needed I should ride with you more often and you'll keep me motivated to get fit again.... or some k@k like that.

Craai Posted December 11, 2020 Share Anyone finding it really difficult to motivate yourself to keep training? Yeah, my big problem came with lockdown and a IDT that decided to give up the ghost just as lockdown started. A few months of doing NOTHING leads to being as unfit as I've ever been. It's been a struggle to get back into any kind of exercise rhythm since. Leave starts today, so hopefully 3 productive weeks of training ahead ChrisF and Dadbod Racing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be breaking any PB's just yet but you'll feel good about yourself very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the wedding planning kicked in and last Saturday we got married. I also got promoted at work in October to Op's manager so that also limited my desire and even ability to train. All in all, since 31 July i have not done anything and I feel like the oros man currently. Strangely enough after another sleepless night, i told her this morning that once we get back from honeymoon i will be starting to do so exercise again. Even if it is just to allow me to sleep at night again. IceCreamMan, Dadbod Racing and Carmichael 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUCH easier to nip this in the butt early, than to try and regain form when the kids go to high school .... And YES, staying fit REALLY helps with increased work stress !!

Dadbod Racing Posted May 17, 2021 Share Sooooo How's everyone's training going? I've been so slap gat with my training as work has been insane and so has life. I've barely hit my weekly 600 points for Vitality. Just not sure when this event will actually take place as we now see the numbers climbing again and the talks of limit gatherings again.... ???? #Covidsemoer Carmichael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmichael Posted May 18, 2021 Share Ja nee dit sukkel, and now with the cold winter settling in here, i find it difficult to wake up early and train. haven't done a swimming session in about 2 months. Also not sure if anything will happen this year... Lacking motivation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
