I can see why you would say that, because it reads like every bowel movement is a crap - it is not. With Crohns, you learn when your bowels move, because then you must crap. But they do move independently of the need to go. If exercise brings it on, good-oh then.

Well done - the other posts look right to me. I would add - after a couple of days recovery, you will find you have just shifted your wall further out by virtue of your efforts. As your cycling gets up, you will need to get the habit of eating during the ride, if you have not already.

I agree that you get better quicker, but that's from subjective experience, (say, slow 5 k run) without any other authority. I have speculated that its the quantity of mucus & germs I have 'gobbed out' on the side road (pardon my gross).

Glad I searched first, was going to post just this question - slightly different angle, because I find myself waiting for the alarm to go off, with increasing dread, far worse than any actual exercise. Such tricks as I have are 1) Prepare everthing the night before - pretty much covered in previous posts. 2) Dont think.…

Please be careful

They are right - don't believe everything you think. You are already taking a step back and thinking it through in your first post, keep it going.

First time I have seen it, thanks for it

I ended up with orthotics also - I tried to run through it. Fail, it just got worse. So if a podiatrist is possible, do consider it.. Also read up on heel spurs, which are a fun extra option if it is plantar fasciitus.

Agree - running is a privilege

For me, it worked when I found my 'survival shuffle' stroke. That is, a rate I can keep going with for 30+ minutes. Once you have that, you can work on speed and technique. If you can avoid resting between lengths, you will be impressed at how far you swim - 1K in 25 minutes will just happen. I would think coaching is a…

Eat thoughtfully, enjoy, and regret nothing

In Adelaide, Australia, Belair National Park - Emus love feral olives, their droppings are purple when the olives are fruiting. You can always tell when a Koala is in a tree above you cause their turds are unlike any other - and copious. And for running style, I think I do most of these at various stages…

But then I saw he had both hands on my shoulders

Maybe, drink two large glasses of water before the social session, I find that separating thirst from the alcohol lets me drink slower and less. But dont overdo the water, you know what fish do in it:)

I have watched that with interest as well - I am comfortable at 170, I am peaking but can't sustain 180, I am 52. In a cycle pack of similarly aged men, I will be at the back, so its not like its an ability as such.

Last week - Saturday sea swimming, 2k 45 min Sunday Riding through the hills with other dads Sunday, 2.5 hours riding (plus coffee stop, most important) Monday Gym, elliptical warm up,nautilus routine + cardio 25 mins Wed Ride work & Back - including 300 metre ascent, 60 mins riding Friday 40 minutes swimming 1.75k.

I move to lap swimming when my knees or ankles play up, I know it can sound daunting (and I dont know if you can swim) , but its really a matter of technique, and finding a safe, slow stroke you can launch higher pace from.

Yes, I have noticed that also, I have speculated it might be fluid. I guess its a lesson not to open your xmas presents early.
