My 2nd jeffing session since my last calf strain, a 30 min walk with ten 1-minute jogging intervals thrown in for good measure. All on a lovely sunny and breezy morning, today!
Walking felt good, calves strong with no niggles, and my jogging intervals had a lovely bounce! My 150BPM music playlist also helped to keep my strides active.
Recovery is going well so far!
Now I just need to slowly lengthen my time on my feet!
well done. Nearly at the 400 miles for the year. A bit slower this time with getting new bathroom, weather etc. but will try and get my target.
Well, with the warmer season upon us, it’s a great time to catch up with mileage, if so desired!
But 400 miles is awesome. Runkeeper tells me I walked and ran just 100 miles so far, but I have another 250 miles or so clocked up with my rower.
So I am also down on mileage from last year, but injuries has taking its toll.
So 400 miles is awesome!
Yay! Go you! I hope your transition to sit/stand is progressing - it took me several weeks to adapt and I would say 6 months for it to be standard, but I couldn't go back to sitting for several hours at a desk now.Indeed, with the retirement finish line in the not too far distant future, and maybe even coming sooner rather than later, I was saying to Al the other day that I need to buy one to use when mine is returned to the charity as I'm assuming they will want it back. According to my Fitbit I have done 496 miles this year - so why does it feel like so much less? Our perception is a funny old thing, isn't it 🙄
Well done
I am in my third day of STEFFING ( 😉) and I love it so far. But going small steps.
I read somewhere that one should start with a ratio of 1/3 standing/sitting, and starting with really small durations and then working up. So yesterday I worked the morning with 7/21min durations. And it’s great!
I’ve got a timer going (thx for the tip) and the standing up - sitting down action does not disturb my workflow as much as one would think. Time flies by, actually.
Very interesting sit/stand 🤔 please explain more
Will do a post next week, just once I know what I’m doing and have my full “training plan” sorted out! 🤣🤣🤣
A training plan for standing … who would have thought I would think that useful! 🤣🤣🤣
I think it's much needed and will be very well received.
There are far too many people sitting for far too long nowadays which impacts negatively on skeletal, muscular and venous systems - for instance, are you aware that sitting without moving (as is often the case at work when you are deeply focused on what you are doing or binge watching TV) decreases the blood supply to the lower limb by as much as 50%!

Will post! 🙂 Now where does a post about standing belong? Active10 or Strength&Flex? C
Runniversary Walk 👍😊
