Frosty Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Work from “home” for today, and possibly tomorrow; but first a morning trot, and a coffee. 5km in the morning and again in the afternoon is a little easier on the legs than a 10km once a day. Zebra, Thomo, gerriemtb and 2 others 5

Frosty Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Rest day for me, today. 10.7km left to plod along. Spending the day with the fandamily in the Mother City. Edit: make that 6.6km to go. The V&A and Hout Bay walks are added in. The De Jonge burger and tjips at the street-food place did a good job for lunch. Edited January 4 by Frosty Scary Rider and Danger Dassie 2
HdB Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I think I didn't read the Versus challenge description properly, and my virtual rides probably don't count... I will probably get around half way with outdoor rides. ChrisF 1
Danger Dassie Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Realising that the run, if you’re not a proper/regular runner, is actually more challenging than expected. I normally run once a week, maybe twice. Varying 5-15km. But daily/alternating runs within a week obviously increases the load somewhat. Duh. Consequently picked up a few niggles and pains after a few runs, mostly trail, so opted to take the day off. Basically, underestimated the pitter patter and absolutely overestimated my athletic ability 🫢 …. HdB, Scary Rider and ChrisF 1 1 1

Walking makes a big difference in being able to run again the next day. Try walking for a few days to alleviate the niggles, while still keeping active (and ticking the metres off). Having a beach to walk to, for me, helps with the motivation. Danger Dassie 1

I'm not sure either, but I saw this morning that the FAQ doesn't specify virtual activities. "For cycling, road cycling, mountain biking, and e-biking all count." I will keep adding the "Versus Back to Base" text. Still counts for fitness, if not free* socks 😁 Edited January 4 by HdB Sandro 1
Sandro Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I see people are uploading virtual rides so worth a try anyway, if e-bikes are acceptable then so should indoor I guess.
