Been for a bike ride earlier, did 26 (and a bit) miles... took me 3 hours and I’m absolutely f***ed. Have no idea how people can run that distance in 2 hours
Bit of both, mostly flat. The time also included me being refused entry to the KFC drive through at Manvers
Finger lickin good. Was it social distancing, or were you sweating and lathered too much to get served?
There was a guy at front of the drive through queue telling people it was card only. It was him that told me I couldn’t go round on a bike. I was too tired to argue so I just left
Having walked 25 miles doing the Yorkshire 3 peaks I admire anyone who runs cycles or hikes 26 miles....its a bloody long way..
I think the new thinking is that being outside and in the sunlight, you are very unlikely to pick up the virus, if at all.
When I was at uni ( some time ago!) I cycled from Preston to Barnsley in one day. No puncture repair gear, no water and in those days no mobile phone. Gawd knows what I would have done if I pulled a muscle or split a tyre! Legs were like jelly when I got to Barnsley but freewheeling down the pennines is excellent!
As a marathon runner I find running the 26.2 a lot easier than walking it. Less time on feet! Although it depends on the pace you choose. If you go all out for a PB then you will be exhausted, but if you run at a low HR so you can have a conversation with the person next to you then it's not so bad. Well, apart from last 6 miles when you run out of glycogen
This week I have so far cycled 110km in 4hrs 50mins on an average of 7 resistance (Nordictrack U60) 106.26km to be precise.
