Back to strict logging or nah?
I've been able to maintain near enough 75kg for the last couple of months without logging, but now I want to get down to 72 for a cycle event at the end of January. I wonder if I need to start back in with the full on calorie counting or if I'll get there just by pumping up the burn? The training program I'm starting will…

Blisters. To needle or not to needle? That is the question.
I let the juice out. You?

Indoor cycle trainer help
the instructions say to have the quick bolt in the open position which just seems very wrong to me.

Clip ins. Two rides, two falls.
I started riding with a club a few weeks a go, after the first ride on flat pedals I bought shoes and cleats. I went for two short practice rides in them with no dramas but last Sunday with the club we got to the top of a hill and stopped to regroup. I completely forgot I was clipped in and I fell onto another rider before…

Cheap indoor cycle trainers. Worth it?
Are these things a good way to train for endurance or are they a waste of time and moolah?

Press pause to pee?
When you're out cycling (or running) and you stop to pee, or if you're with a group and you stop at the top of a hill to regroup after spreading out, do you pause your fitness tracker or keep the timer running?

Kayaking ain't good cardio.
At least not the way I do it :-)

Pride tainted by bitter regret with a touch of self loathing.
Ten months or so ago I made a change. I cut 95% of my drinking. I cut 95% of my junk eating. I started (again) with the exercise, running, riding, randomly swing around bits of steel here and there. Lost 20 odd kg. Look better than I have in years, feel good. Probably fitter and healthier now than I have ever been. I just…

Hit 7 PB's today.
Took the dog for a 10km run and hit every PB on the way there (and the longest run for many a long time too). Still not fast, but getting faster. B)

May be it's just my sense of perspective, but...
...does the rest of your body getting smaller make a certain part of the male anatomy look bigger?

Buying a 2nd hand bike. What to look out for?
I'm going to have a look at a 2nd hand bike tomorrow. It's a 5ish year old Giant Defy. I'm new to this and know very little. What should I look at? Spin the wheels and make sure they track straight and listen for bearing noises in the wheels and crank. What else? Also, the person selling the bike doesn't know the frame…

Strava question.
What is the 4 in the little red circle beside the time on one of the segments? Cheers.

Just do it.

Pies.
I haven't had a pie for over 5 months. It's going on the weekends to do list. Steak and cheese, mmmmmggrrrrrllll.

Big ride today. Big breakfast??
I'll be doing 3-1/2 to hours on the bike today. In my shoes would you eat a bigger than normal breakfast to fuel up, or just stick to your norm? (My 9 to five is almost sedentary and I normally eat a 500ish cal breakfast.)

What is EPOC?
In laymans terms. Cheers.

What do you cook in your slow cooker?
I've just recently bought a slow cooker and had my first attempt at a whole chicken today. What do you cook in yours?

Smoking hot wheel bearings and shredded tires
Damn, I'm getting fast

I fell off the wagon.
I've had a drink the last 5 nights. I've gone backwards a month in terms of my weight goal. I'm back to square one in terms of alcohol craving. Bugger.

Todays bike ride.
Longest distance (48.5km) and highest top speed (61.2kp/h) achieved today. I wonder if this route would be faster if I did it the opposite direction?

Uh-oh. It's time to change the method of the madness.

Endomondo cutting out during workout. Aargh!
Out for a ride after work today and Endo cut out about 20 minutes in to my ride. I didn't notice right away because I keep my phone in my backpack when I ride. It used to do this before I flagged it as a protected app in the battery settings but know it is happening again. Any ideas how to fix? I love the app but this can…
