ive had it once that i know of. little to no symptoms. slight tickle in throat for about 2 hrs. tested because a colleague had cold and flu symptoms. tested positive and had to isolate at home. BUT since i had that incident i am increasingly aware that i have coughing fits quite often. dry cough tha...

Yes weight loss is getting high on my priority. I've hit a plateau at 120. Despite minimal eating and daily exercise.

My year started out pretty good with a goal to do another road marathon. Training was progressing quite well and the step up from a marathon to an ultra was already forming. Feb 2025 was to be my first ultra run. 50kms. However in May all my plans were shot down when I was diagnosed with severe oste...

Back in May I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in the L5 and S1 vertebrae. This manifests through my hips as significant pain and mobility issues. If I sit or lie for too long when I get up it takes about a dozen steps to free up my hips so I can walk normally. Dr initially thought I would h...

I use the Garmin HRM Dual. seems to do the job. with regards to the fit bit range of watches these are pretty much the lower end of smart fitness devices. all i seem to hear on other forums (particularly Running Forums) is ditch them in favour of Garmin which seem to have a very good reputation and ...

i enjoy the cold. it doesnt really affect me.

In that case, you should read Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air." Definitely made me feel cold...

just had a look at that book and will read it.

outstanding result. thats legend material

i enjoy the cold. it doesnt really affect me. my family and friends all get annoyed when we are out and about in the wind and rain and cold through winter and i am still wearing shorts/T shirt and jandles. winter here sits in the below 10C range usually around 2 or 3C with high winds and rain. due t...

Great writeup. When I did my marathon walk I experienced all the emotions. Took 7 hrs 20. And I was wrecked physically and mentally so can understand. The joy of completion however is totally worth it. Awesome effort

It's probably too late but you possibly could have bought one of the C2 that were replaced. I have mine in my man cave/office/storeroom and I have to step over it to get to my desk for work. Unless I stand it up in the corner which is an option

where are you located? i have a fully refurbed PM3 that i got when i bought my erg but i upgraded to a PM5

thanks again. just to be clear i am not taking meds for anything. when i said meds i probably should have said blood tests. all my indicators that are tested every 6 months are in the upper range of normal. once i am over this flu that is hanging around i will be back on the erg. will see how my bac...

thanks for the responses. i know im overweight and thats another goal. but as usual im a great procrastinator. my meds are elevated but not excessively so weight loss will help with that. i have no issues like diabetes and my cholestoral is mildly elevated. I think my surgeon wants me to sit on the ...

after a hiatus for a while and concentrating on running i am looking to get back onto the erg. i had an injury that when investigated a bit further raised an issue that now prevents me from being able to run or do any hi impact activities. background. after training for a marathon that i completed i...

probably not that relevant but when i did a half marathon run/walk on the weekend when complete my watch told me that i had to rest until wednesday afternoon.
