        I'm going to try and complete this challenge by rowing on the concept 2 rower.  Started on June 1st and hopefully will reach my goal by the 1st of September.  Really pushing for the middle of August (my birthday) and a pretty big milestone (50 years).

        Also trying to lose about 10 pounds…(we'll see).

        Good luck to all who join!!

                            @Nkwkfld Are you able to train the next day after completing that level of a training session?  Do you take a few days off?

                            I've done quite a few century bike rides (100 mile's - although haven't attempted that distance in the last 10 years) and a 30 km row, but I'm absolute crap for the next few days until I've recovered.

                              I’ve done a few of these 50k runs as training for the 100k event I’m doing in July and yes I do train the next day, but it’ll be mostly body weight strength training or easy swimming. Usually helps get rid of the soreness.

                                      @sabergirl Seeing that map reminds me of the week I spent in your area.  Wife had a conference at the Grove Park Inn and I spent a week exploring.  Beautiful area!!

                                      …and the food at the Grove Park is some of my favourite I ever experienced (not that the scenery didn't help or the wine).  🙂

                                        Only read this today. Great initiative, @goosehd I'm also in.
                                        ATM my thing is gravel biking. Did 41km each on friday and today.
                                        Only 918km more to go. Thanks for giving some ambition.  🙂

                                          Add 6500m for a track run with about 20 others in drizzly Portsmouth this morning. 4x1km with 90 second rest in between and warm up/cool down easy laps.

                                            I did a little shorter walk yesterday, probably about 2.5km. Already got the walk in this morning, probably about 3km. My Oura ring isn’t pairing to the map, unfortunately.
