58 yo who’s unfortunately now obsessed with running and all things fitness. Still love my wine sadly, and couldn’t live without music or sarcasm 😊

@SahilBloom Absolutely agree! Were subjected to so much negativity on this platform for starters! I’m surrounded by nay sayers pretty much so try to follow only really inspirational people.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

I need to go to bed, but just thinking I have to get back running so bad it hurts (pun intended). Can’t wait to use Strava the way it was intended ☺️

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@Hybridathlete @tomcoppens_ Or…you can use one discipline to enhance the other one? It’s a bit like all season tyres 🤣

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@tiga_style Speaking of inspirational music, you might like this (or not!) I love it for pushing on - Passenger10 Soothing Tension. The Nora el Pure vid is great too.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@tiga_style Always good to see that even people at the top of their game have bad days occasionally, even if you’re frustrated. (it does sound like ‘I should be like Grand Cru champagne and unfortunately I was just Premier Cru today’ 😂)

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@DavidDack I may frame this one 😂

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@erixmotivated Hmm, or for some of us, the muscles go, nah, we didn’t like this last time out and we still don’t 😂

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@DavidDack Not really, as my audience is deliberately small 😂 (unfortunately all my audience is doing amazing things right now and I’m looking at their stats going 😠) but if I’m honest, yes I will push a bit when I might not otherwise…which can be great, or silly.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@DiBrander What a view 😍

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@mikeddonatelli I need 8. I wish I didn’t. But sure 😊 you’re right about what works for you.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@Brady_H @mikeddonatelli @tiga_style @DeanTTraining @UltraRunner26 @erixmotivated I guess this is me wanting to do motivate with reward. Like a dog…😂 Or a pigeon flying with 🦅 I’m running again I guess and better than before.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

I’ve decided when I resume running I need a new watch. Currently Samsung 5 Pro. It’s been fine, but battery is a joke and it’s clearly not optimised to people who move…Anyway. Once I can run again, I’m rewarding myself. I want a robust watch with a clear display and simple controls (negotiable) which is compatible with Strava for runs (obviously) but also Concept 2 rower/bike and elliptical if possible. Don’t want/need top of range, but reliable robust and not hideously ugly 😂 So, intermediate runner with gym cardio add ons…Any suggestions will be carefully considered and gratefully accepted! Garmin is the default option but they tend to be searingly expensive. I’ve heard good things about Amazfit…

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@tiga_style I’m living vicariously these days so apologies if it sounds a bit envious 🙂

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@tiga_style Respectfully, this is mental…😊

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@Brady_H @mikeddonatelli @tiga_style @DeanTTraining @UltraRunner26 @erixmotivated I can get that watch where I am! To be honest, I’m maybe going to go for a recommendation from one of you guys who actually are elite. Thanks Mike, I’ve never heard of that one.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@UltraRunner26 @mikeddonatelli @Brady_H @tiga_style @DeanTTraining @erixmotivated I need to listen to music… Coros is new to me.

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@mikeddonatelli Why is hybrid a dirty word?

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

I’m in the top 2% for my age means our standards for physical activity are a joke 😠

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@erixmotivated mentioned this recently. This was my summary for last week. Nothing special, and running steps are more valuable but...this keeps me from going insane meantime 😊

[Semantix1k @semantix1k]

@UltraRunner26 Pure unadulterated madness
