I joined the forum when on my way to Sainsburys in April 2008 as there was a ride going to Southend...
Then I got a job at Sainsburys for the lols..
I still don’t take life much more seriously.

    That is very impressive!

    I went run first, ski, row when I tried it, and did 19:50, 22:30 and 21:30, i suspect your ordering is possibly more optimal, just need to borrow a rower from my neighbour so I can try them back to back again.

    I think I’d pace myself to a 21min ski and make up the time in the others, despite having done a 19:46 a couple of weeks ago as it felt like I might start bleeding out of my eyeballs if I had to go much further at that pace!

    I did religiously for a period but struggled to see any correlation with how I felt/performed after ~4 months of monitoring so gave up paying any attention to it.

    My resting hr however has a really strong correlation to my “wellness feeling” alcohol boots it up, as does hard training the day before..

    Was it back to back? If so what was your order?

    I’ve managed all three sub 20, and definitely have most headroom in the run and it took 3 months of training for the ski while rowing it was done on the first proper go at it… back to back is a huge challenge!

    Was it someone in here talking about a 5k row, ski and run challenge?

    Not really sure what’s happened with my weight, did have a weekend away which involved pizza and beer and a few bits of chocolate but my weight is still a fair bit above where it was this time last week despite 3 days of pretty spartan living.

    77.4kg this morning, calories up to about 2000 now, as I slowly increase, the grind continues!

    76.7kg for me this morning, have started to up my calorie and carb intake a little, as I feel like I need to start preparing for more of a maintenance intake and don’t want to shock my body with all the carbs all at once!

    77.3kg for me this morning, which having started using creatine (which apparently makes you retain loads of water) is very positive!

    With some hard work I can see my self achieving my pre Christmas 76.2 target, which was a big stretch back at 87.8 on 1st September!

    I’ve not even looked as I view it as an upgrade on a Brompton rather than a segment purchase…

    Just ordered a cycle to work voucher to get a g line.

    My use case is
    Ride to work (3km with occasional extension to 5k when dropping kids off at school by bike)
    Family holidays either riding with the kids or wanting to go for a ride on my own.
    Riding home/to family events when I can get away with a ride/being an hour late.
    Occasional trips into londons famous London, where I can mostly leave bike fully unfolded in the security office at my destination.

    Fiver the fold is still small enough to fit in the back of a golf, the ride will be better for the trips I do and longer holiday type rides will be better with the 8spd gears.
