Looks like I’m going to miss my target!

The NHS recommend 150 minutes of heart rate raising exercise a week. Last week Little Miss UNM did 150 a day for the first 3 days and got to 850 something for the week... which got me thinking... how would 150 a day for a week feel? I’m close enough to know that it felt awesome... but now I’m sat here thinking “if only I’d hit the vigorous zone and scored a few double minutes”. 46 minutes left and I’m not sure I fancy a brisk walk more than a glass of cider 🤣

A walk round the garden with a cider in hand?

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

It’s a thought 🤣. I’m also thinking that it’s going down next week regardless. Did C25K W6R2 with my daughter today and ran on to 3k to get a badge on Strava... I’m now regretting not doing a separate 3k.

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

No time for regrets. Next week is a new opportunity. Enjoy the cider 😍

Cheers 🍻

I’d say you more than hit you target on what was asked of you, enjoy your well earned cider 😊

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Dtay1978]

I certainly did! Now to nail 1050 this week... then maybe 2 ciders!!

Congratulations to little Miss UNM and Mr UNM can enjoy his cider after he gets to 150 for at least one day.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Cheers... same time next week for a cider... 1050 minutes is going down!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Well....some of us know that you’ve just set a target and I really don’t wonder for a single second if you’ll be doing it. 🤣🤣!!

Good on Little Miss UNM too!! 😁 It’s so great to hear about you both doing it together. These are the kinds of things that create priceless memories. ❤️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

She’s really into this exercise malarkey this time round, and it’s more than running too. She’s actually asking me when we are running, it’s a big change. I think it will stick this time.

Yep... 1050 is happening this week.

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Love that! Good on Little Miss!! 🥰

1050 here you come!! 🙌🏽❤️

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

So close. You just need a raised active heart like mine - I get vigorous minutes scrubbing floors etc as well as running. Happy running 🤗

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I picked a fair few of those minutes up doing other stuff too! 1050 minutes of running... that’s gonna take some building up to... it’s a great idea though!!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Just did quick rough count of april hours 1020 minutes for 146km loads of 9, 10 and 11 k runs, now if I can do it 🤷‍♀️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

In a week? I can’t do too many runs that soon 🤣🤣

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Oops, that was a month of runs, been moving house today and a bit euphoric, plus just downed glass of prosecco and I don't drink hic 🍾🥳

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Wow now that’s a challenge! Well done both of you

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Actually set my goal on the watch to 1050 this week... game on!

[Sybilw Graduate10]

Whoever invented numbers?!! They’re there to taunt us. 🤣

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

I’m pretty sure my daughter agrees there, she hates maths 🤣

Numbers sure can spoil a run. Being 10 short wasn’t so bad and if I’d really needed to I had time to get it... missing by 1 would suck as Garmin only award minutes once there’s 10 or more consecutive ones.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Just looked back through garmin - wk beg 16/3 - 1430mins, 11/5 - 1137mins, 25/5 - 1242 mins, 1/6 - 1396 mins, 8/6 - 1105mins, 15/6 - 1523 mins . I haven't been sleeping well in June - possibly because I'm doing too much, already 398 mins this week and it's only day 2. Must learn to sit and count daisies.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

That’s truly awesome!!! New watch coming here this week which is probably gonna tell me to take more rest... but I think I can turn those features off when the irritate me.
