Sunday update

I managed to get out on the road bike this morning for a local loop - down to Henfield and back via Edburton and Fulking - I felt relatively strong and legs were fresh.

This was my first outside ride since my bikepacking adventure last week. Otherwise, I have been continuing to use my treadmill, plus the Peloton bike, for several 30 min HIT sessions, which I am enjoying. Not much strength training to report, with the exception of my daily press-ups (typcially 25-50) depending on how I feel.

Got a few (fitness/health/wellbeing) ideas in my mind - in no particular order - bit of a brain dump:

• Garmin lactate threshold test - help better define running zones 1-5
• More solo bikepacking adventures - gravel bike (and tent) or Brompton (train/plane + Airbnb)
• Bikepacking adventure with Lucy - definitely Airbnb
• O'seas climbs - Mount Ventoux
• Gym triathlon set - 20 mins bike, 20 mins strength, 20 mins run
• Brick runs - treadmill + Peloton
• Updating Brompton
• Brompton adventures - finding coffee shops (work + cycle)
• Water fast - 1 to 3 days, followed by
• Keto 800 for a week - track all food
• Trying to target 80-82kg (been talking about it for years)
• Adding in squats, lunges, planks to daily press-up regime

I had a couple of glasses of port last night (felt like a drink, and that was all I had in the house) - thought I slept OK but the Whoop ranked it as horrible (1% recovery - as low as it goes) with heightened heart rate and very low HRV. I do tend to get these readings even if I have only had a couple of drinks - it does make you think - I am certainly not a heavy drinker, but I do question more - should I just stop completely!
