I'm in too

[goosehd]

Very excited you guys have joined in the challenge and can't wait to see how everyone does.  Thank you very much!

Just did a 50k run

[Giles]

OK, you win 

[goosehd]

I'm on day 5 and at a total of 48,389 m so far and you just did that in one day…   You sir, are a rockstar!!

[goosehd]

@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.

geeziz … I'm with Giles, you win.  here's my paltry contribution.  I'm a colonial, we don't understand the whole meter thing. 
And @neph93 -spare me the pedo jokes

Good on ya @sabergirl .

@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. 

[Nik]

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.

[sabergirl]

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.

@steelworker @endo @sabergirl @Nkwkfld Thank you all for helping me get through the first week and in my opinion the hardest of any challenge.

I really appreciate your participation and it helps motivate me a lot.

@goosehd Would you mind sharing the graph from the concept2 online logbook (from their website) of your latest 10k?

[goosehd]

@tody I’m sorry, but I don’t have an online account with Concept 2.  I can give you the basic info from the phone though.  Anything specific you’re looking for?

You should really sign up for their website. The graphs really provide a much better view into what you are actually doing.
Constant stroke rate, constant 500m time and at best a gradually advancing heart rate somewhere between 130 at the beginning and 160 at the end - that's what I'm aiming for.
Here's one of my 45min pieces, disregard the heart rate monitor cutting out in the end:

[goosehd]

@tody That is really great and useful info.  I’m going to look into this!  Thank you.
