Day 5 : Hot mag session

The plan for Day 5 was to ride to/from work, which is normally a straightforward easy way of getting through the rings. Lucy had been up late the night before socializing with her mum-chums, so I forwent the ride to give her a bit more time in bed in the morning. This put me behind schedule....

 It's been super hot in the UK recently, which makes certain types of exercise a complete pleasure, and others less so. A ride outdoors is a complete joy. Last night Lu was out, leaving me only one option to complete about 400 calories to get the ring. 

 I was on the mag-trainer... In about 30 minutes I'd cleared the target, but I was drenched in sweat. This was another time when the 30 day challenge got me to do a workout when otherwise I almost certainly wouldn't have, so for that I'm grateful. In other circumstances, I'd probably just think "oh well, I've missed a workout / target, never mind, there'll be another one along soon", but since I'm committed to getting July all the way, it got me on the bike.

 So day 5 over and done with....


So you'll notice the little green dots in the corner each day on days 2-5. These indicate workouts, rather than day 1, where I completed the circle without needing to hit the gym/go for a ride. I absolutely put this down to doing a sedentary job. When I'm at home / out and about with the kids, it's no problem hitting that target!

July 2018 - Complete the Circles : Intro and Days 1-3

Having read up about a bunch of different 30 day challenges, I thought I'd take one on. The first one is relatively simple, and one that I'm pretty confident I can hit. These blogs are going to document how they go, what benefits and difficulties I got from them, and at the end, a summary of whether I'd do them again, incorporate them into my lifestyle, or whether I even completed them! I'm going to be a bit forgiving on myself, in that if I miss a day's challenge, I'll carry on with it and give the challenge a score out of 30. The challenges will be a combination of physical and mental, kind of like a protracted Crystal Maze... I've got a full time job, family commitments and whilst I wouldn't describe my social life as ravin' mental, there's always lots of fun stuff in the diary. The challenges will have to fit round those... So; to July's 30 day challenge :  Complete the Activity Rings on my Apple Watch. Now this should be doa...

Day 30 : Finale and review

Image
The last day was a pretty straightforward lunchtime run.  What have I learnt overall? Well, the challenge was mostly over July there - so it seems it's not made me do more per se than the previous month. That said, the rings completion occurred 5 times more than it did in June, so the effort was more evenly spread. I'm definitely feeling more energetic and healthy, but I think that the rings are only part of that. The complete picture includes things like how stressful work is (not especially at the moment, which is nice), how much sleep I'm getting (I'm getting plenty, although it's very much feast and famine - I tend to get 8, 6 or 4 hours, depending on whether it's a quiet night, a busy night, or a party!) and what the diet is like too... to have all those as metrics would maybe be a little too much effort to realistically record day in day out. I liked the weights workouts, where I had to keep lifting weights until the ring was complete. This...

Day 11 : Commute by Bike

Always massively satisfying... Riding in to work clears out both the 2 hardest circles of "Active Calories" and "Minutes Exercising" before I hit my desk. Today I didn't really push it on the bike, since I need to be able to do it every day and don't want to make things difficult for me tomorrow / later on. Fitness advice tells me that rest and recovery is as important as training, but I'm pretty sure that Pro athletes (admittedly, I'm not one of these guys!) train every day, so there's surely something to be said for it! The general trend with this challenge seems to be that the bike is the easiest way of achieving the challenge... which is either 'gaming the system' a bit, or just that the challenge has encouraged me to get on my bike more than I otherwise would have. Definitely true of Sunday night, when I was hungover, sweating and had to stay in. Horrible. Days like today though, when the weather's good and I'm riding ...
