W8R2 Coincidence?

Yesterday I drank no alcohol at all. This is an extreme rarity for me.

- My Garmin Wonderwatch said I had twice as much Deep Sleep as normal

- I recorded my fastest yet 4k

- My average heart rate was lower than previous efforts

- I lost a little more weight

- I wore much duller clothing than the Bumblebee ensemble. More magpie.

Coincidence? God, I hope so!!

Either way, I'm very chuffed!

Congratulations, good work! Coincidence or not, it doesn’t really matter. You got through it and that’s the main thing πŸ‘ If it’s left you feeling great then that’s the icing on the cake! 🍰

ahh. Cake. That's off limits too! I'm getting fitter and more depressed in equal measure! :-)

Sounds like a win win whichever way you look at it. I try to only drink at weekends and work my runs out around those days. I enjoy my gin and wine but just trying everything in moderation . Doesn’t always go to plan tho πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺ

Try it again and see. Maybe a couple of days a week off the booze would be good? Let us know! It’s like a little scientific test πŸ˜‚

Coincidence maybe/maybe not. Try one of your runs πŸƒ again next week with no alcohol and check stats πŸ˜‰

Your Doing fine by the way 😊

Thanks Kar! The health kick is kicking!

Did you say another day without beer 😱

I'm running every other day, so thought I may try to drink only every other day too to begin with.
