Trying to get fit

Ran a 10k in 2007 (51mins) and a Half Marathon in 2008 (1h58). Managed to run 5k (or more) every day consecutively for 400 days (March 2020-April 2021)

Post Christmas weigh in (the one in the New Year will be worse.. before it - hopefully - gets better)

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

Didn’t take long 🙌

More tracked runs in 2025 than the last few years, but average speed & distance per run is down (because I have been running with the kids a lot more in ‘25 than in previous years)

10k run on Christmas Day with the boys (13yo & 10yo). Their first run on Christmas Day and also their furthest ever run (13yo has run 7k with me a few times and the 10yo runs 5k quite regularly)

My 8th ParkRun
6th one running with the 10yo

PB at @parkrunUK on Saturday.. although tbf was only the 2nd run without the 10yo 😂

Finally bought some new weight plates for my dumbbells - gone from 12.5kg to 17.5kg

Did try 20kg - but that was a bit ambitious.. wouldn’t get too many reps in that heavy! 😂😂

So doing better than last year (just)

Morning @parkrunUK with the boys

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

4 days left and 2.9kg from target

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

Currently weighing exactly 86kg. Would like to get as close to 80kg as I can

Clearly my exercise routine is going to be hampered by me buggering up my knee tho 🤦‍♂️

But this is the full history of my scales (2019-2025). A difference of 26.05kg between heaviest and lightest.

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

10 days until Tenerife and 4.05kg from target 🎯⚖️

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

Did my first @parkrunUK on Saturday.. great event!

Took the 13yo & the 10yo.. both managed a sub 30 min 5k #impressed

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

In fairness; had a few big meals last week away in Belfast and then in Bath last weekend. Need to really moderate my food intake and try to get as many runs in as possible too

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

Came home and smashed a ~54 min 10k which is one of my more rapid efforts

[Trying to get fit @try2getfit]

A couple of good beach runs on Berrow Beach (Brean) this last week

Also a couple of trips to the on-site gym at Unity Holiday Resort (Brean)
