It begins (again, again, twelfth time lucky).
Starting at 103.3kg, aim again is 76kg (mid July 2025 by my calcs).
Currently In rehab for a DMTJ tear* and am now allowed to swim, cycle (which includes Zwift on the wattbike (just avoid any ~10s all out efforts for the next few weeks) and run (walk/run is better than steady state running, which is good since I've lost what little fitness I had). Lots of stretching to do and some gym machine exercises which I can't replicate at home.
Just did 3k of alternating minutes of walking and running. The accelerations and decelerations are good for the hamstrings.
Swim Serpentine 2 mile in mid September is the next major goal.
* Pulled a hamstring playing 5-a-side. Rested 3 weeks, played again with no problems, played again two days later and pulled it again. Rested 3 weeks, played again and felt it go again. Went to physio. Got told off for just doing "rested 3 weeks and tried again" and got proper advice.
