    I had a bit more energy on today's ride. Yesterday had been a slog.

    800mi/2025. Snuck in 8 miles yesterday plus 17 mi today to get me to the 800 mile mark. Now I need to do the math and figure out how to get 200 mi "catch up miles" in by month end. I can do this.

    @Mari33a I am very sorry to hear this news, my sincere condolences and strength for your family.

    830/2025 miles. On a daily streak here, Monday 16, Tues 7, Wed 7 miles. Made possible since I cut back on my morning outdoor cardio time. Cycling helps me relax.

    Did today’s cycle while watching the Criterium du Dauphine stage on tv. I think they made me pedal faster 😅

    907/2025 miles - 2 more days of cycling 13 mi ea- one was RPM. 9 days left in June. I have to pretty much cycle daily at least 10 mi and one of those days make it 13 mi.

    @Mari33a where did the rest of gang go? Did everyone take off on vacation?

    @globalhiker I don't know if everyone else has just lost interest or really busy. I like to post my rides and see what others have done. It gives me motivation to hit my targets.

    I have been out weekend with very poor internet access but squeezed in a few miles each morning before heading out. I had the guilts for missing out 3 days last week🤣

    932/2025 miles. 15 mi from RPM class yesterday and 10 mi. Sunday on my home cycle. I will continue - it's helping me lose weight.

    @Mari33a hey I will keep going. You're doing spectacular. And your method of breaking down the miles by month is smart. I will do that moving forward so I hit my monthly goals.

    Contemplating buying an indoor Schwinn IC3 or IC4. I'm at a point where I need more resistance than my current home bike can provide. I've progressed on the gym bike to medium level difficulty and my wattage is in the low hundreds, so I am building some power and the fat is melting off.

    968 /2025 miles done. Added 13 +10+5 miles from today and past 2 days. 3 days left to get to my personal goal of hitting 1000 mark. Yesterday I ran 5 miles, today none but tomorrow back to gym classes.

    @Mari33a I am in a similar boat - now at 138.1 lbs but it takes me 2-3 weeks to see a "drop". Some weeks it's nothing, some it's half a lb., then some mysteriously drop several lbs.

    No doubt the added cycling is helping us go in the right direction :)

    998/2025 miles. Added 14 from Sat RPM class, 7 mi today at the gym. Monday is the last day of June and luckily I have RPM class where I should be able to exceed the needed 12 mi. to goal.

    I've upped my daily mileage slightly as I won't have any cycling from 22nd July to the end of the month as will be in France. But I still want to hit 180 - 200 miles for the month and 80 miles running. I may not succeed on both but it gives me a goal to hit.

    New month!

    1016 miles /2025 miles done. Added 5 yesterday and 5 mi this morning. Slow start but I had it on high resistance. Running is going well, just over 4 mi. both days.

  • globalhiker
    globalhiker Posts: 1,951 Member

    1028 miles /2025 miles done. Added 12 mi today from cycling class. No running today, just 1.5 hr walk and body pump class. I am beat.

    @Mari33a you must be getting excited for your trip! It will be amazing.

    Hi,

    My name is Jon, I am 57, 6'2", 197.5 lbs with a goal of 175-180 lbs this year. I started at 4/11/2025 at ~217.

    Just saw this challenge:

    • Apr: 106.69 miles
    • May: 281.99 miles
    • June: 146.49 miles
    • July: 69.36 miles

    Total so far: 604 Miles (95% outdoors and not everything, I forget to log stuff with my Garmin)

    I just joined Zwift, waiting for my new trainer, my old trainer (20 year old fluid trainer probable has 30K miles on it) I never logged indoor training till a week ago. This is both indoor and outdoor miles.

    I am doing zone 2 training right now, trying to do more than that trying to lose weight would be counter productive. So my milage is way down from previous years. I want to get back into the race shape I was in my late 30's and 40's. When I use to do 100 mile bike rides every other weekend through the Colorado mountains, like the triple bypass or boulder sunrise.

    I have two outdoor bikes: 2014 Specialized S-Works Roubaix, 2025 Turbo Creo 2 Comp.

    1 New indoor trainer: Zwift Ride, with a Jet Black VICTORY Smart Trainer, Waiting on Delivery I expect it by the end of the month.

    My FTP is 2.8 W/kg, and my VO2Max is 41.

    I will check in every Wednesday!!!

    If I had know how close I was to 100 miles for July I would had pedalled the .20 miles 😅. We r having a mini heatwave here so I pulled my turbo trainer & bike outside & loved it.

    @globalhiker U going great, love the zero soreness!
