I smashed my laptop so writing from mobile is annoying anyway, I managed to ride my bike a few times last. week, including taking. wrong. road and ending. up on a 35% ascent... Obviously I got. stacked and obviously there were people walking there so I lost my dignity riding. helped. a lot my knee, pt suspects I damaged.…

I'm not going to complain about the cost then! I strained my right collateral... Falling on a patch of ice when I was visiting the Japanese alps I'm honestly quite annoyed, let's say 124 million on a scale of 10. Tomorrow maybe a non rainy day, hope to be able to cycle a bit - of course I cannot run.

New here, I run but I recently purchased a road bike Still learning everything, a week ago I did 25 miles on hills and had so much fun, but since then it has been raining every damned day And more to come all this week so not sure what I'll do, my goal is 100 miles per week initially but really depends on the weather for…

There is Padua that's 50eur - I could pay the 90 euros but it does bother me in principle But Rome is Rome! I'll sleep on it and then decide I paid 35 euros only for Athens last year Consider that gp certification is 60 euros and runcard other 30, and without them I cannot run anywhere in Italy. And roads are full of sheet…

guys, how much is a marathon registration in the US? 90 eur for Rome!!! ok its late registration, but it is too expensive in my opinion 5 out of 15 miles literally in the sheet today, sheep yesterday made a mess on public roads, super frustrating

Nothing better than a run in the rain Nothing worst than trying to remove wet compression tights :smiley:

No goal, will go with the weather. It's been raining since Monday so I kept running, but I want to ride my bike! Went uphill for the first time last Saturday, had lots of fun and with the running training I feel really good. Want to do 2 marathons this year, but I need to sort out that stupid gp certificate first. I think…

back home, had a nice trip and managed to run a bit as well it's true, they run with a tracksuit! or alternative leggins AND shorts above it, that was quite unusual to see for me :) in the first 3 days I took advantage of the hotel gym, did elliptical - how hard is it!!! - and 5k around tokio, but that was very busy and…

Awful day today, run usual 9 miles but it was all frozen and snowy, not typical conditions here and it was very slippery. I decided to run on gravel to avoid icy footpath but it was still not OK. Then run final 4 miles upwind, a damned chilly wind that killed me. Now awaiting to take off, a million hours flying time, I'll…

went finally to ride today, but I managed to do only 20km, then again -2C and a very annoying cross wind, so had to cut the ride, I have to confess that I was not mentally relaxed as I didn't want to compromise my trip tomorrow, and when you feel like that it's when something happens, so I think I took the right decision -…

17.5 interesting miles today felt good, but 1) for the first 5 miles, on local roads, some tractors must have lost "a bit" of "fertiliser" everywhere, so I can really say it was a sh*itty run :smiley: 2) a car didn't stop quickly enough on a cross and I got almost run over, just went over his bonnet with my hands, not…

@_nikkiwolf_ yes its a proper physical test with an ecg and more serious tests (they might even measure the vo2 max, need to check) But still doesn't justify the cost or the fact I could simply sign a piece of paper and take my responsibility

I was talking about running

I keep making wrong calls. If I rode on Wed and suddenly was foggy and frozen, today I woke up with - 5c, but sunny. Thought cycling was not an option so went running but road were not iced. Grrrrrr. Was hoping to have a not running day today to rest a bit before tomorrow long run, plus I really want to ride my bike, but…

@_nikkiwolf_ I'm in Italy at the moment No certificate (I think it's around 130 euros!) no races... 9 miles running today, yesterday was in cake mood and with all the sugars I had I could have run 100 miles. Obviously now it's sunny and warm, while on Saturday - my next planned cycling day - it'll be - 3. Tempted to cycle…

The good: both clip shoes for the first time, no problems The bad: had to cut my ride, foggy and -3c, I was ok and legs felt really good but when I saw the road started to be icy I thought best was to come back home The annoying: need a gp certificate here for running events, I think it'll be easier to get a place in NY…

great thanks i booked a tour to fuji for 1 day, with some observation decks included and a cruise on one lake, hope the weather will be fine

Thank you so much! I'll spend a few days in Tokyo and Kyoto and I'm glad Ill be able to run - then will travel between places and I'll use that time as rest, but at least it sounds I won't stop for 2 weeks I'm so looking forward to it, but I don't want to offend anyone - blowing my nose will be certainly a problem :)…

Nice 17miles yesterday, was so quite and no one around, plus I tried some hand warmers and they worked for a bit I struggle to have my bpm in zone 4, whatever I do it looks like I'm always below 135-130bpm It's a wonderful feeling being outside working out when the rest of the world is in bed! Today I rode for about 25…

Am I the only one that started training properly drinking and having gels and then feeling uncomfortable stopped doing that? I hydrate a lot before and after but not during, I bet this is considered stupid by the most but after many times of feeling sick I got used to have nothing (in normal condition, in Athens we run…

@Ohhim @ddmom0811 sorry guys to hijack briefly the 3d, got a quick question for you How different is cycling from Running from a nutritional point of view in your experience? I've got used to not drink or eat anything during long runs (even marathon I'd not too hot) being fine but my first.rides completely killed. Me!…

@ddmom0811 God was so evil when he invented Nutella

(writing from a mobile is impossible)

Exceeding my 3000 miles target for 2016 last week, I did absolutely nothing yesterday except eating whatever I wanted and rest, for the first time in over 3 years I didn't even bother to log. My rough estimate for yesterday was around 7-8000cals, every single one well worth it. 17 miles run today, nice weather and warm, I…

Grrrrrr Grrrrrr Grrrrrrrrrrrr GRRRRRRRRRRRR waited 3 weeks for new shoes to arrive thanks to messy courier then received the wrong size.... And prob now having to organize a shipment back And no new shoes for a while, have to use the old ones I hate Xmas.

Miserable day, fog, 1C constantly, frozen ground, mobile dead at 10km from home, completely frozen hands (and I even wore cycling gloves that are supposed to go to - 15) and finally leg cramps. And still not received my new shoes after 2 weeks. What a nice day! I decided I'm not going to run tomorrow, need a break after…

I think I'm going to die if I ride the road bike on grass! :smiley:

I'm really worried now, as I struggle to even sit on the saddle, I really think I'm going to lose my dignity very very very soon

Pretty much this one https://www.bianchiusa.com/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_YMBA6T1J_01_Impulso_Tiagra_celeste_3abc4aae66.jpg I went to a friend of my uncle, so a person I can trust as I'm completely ignorant about cycling (and that's where the fun will begin!) Got measured and bike will be set up according to builders…

Thanks guys for all your suggestions. Sorry to be a pain, does anyone have a link to Amazon for a good chemical warmer? My first road bike will be ready on Friday, I'm so looking forward to it! I moved to a different country and I'm missing my wonderful parks, scenarios for runs are quite boring and ground is flat here, on…
