  • Wee… Monthly report 😅

    Already a month gone since last post. Fortunately, i have started a daily journal (using daily-U application) to monitor food, sleep, mood, sport, among other things, so i can remember. A month ago our vacations were coming slowly to their end, with a couple days in Brittany, having a glimpse at the eclipse, and suffering…

  • OSMand and Element Wahoo GPS

    I usually do my route planning using bikerouter.de , export the GPX to phone, open GPX file using Element application, and voilà … But sometimes i need to do it on the move. My favorite mobile bike and running application is OSMand+ . The “Plan a route” feature is quite good. Unfortunately, i found out…

  • 5 days with a bike and 2 teens

    Itinerary After much change of plans ( 1st idea was Morvan, then Loire …) we decided to head to my mother’s place in Côte d’Armor (where we planned to end vacations anyway) and start from there. I designed a mix of coastal and inland 270k itinerary. We would join the Canal de Nantes à Brest,…

    ok let’s call it a monthly report … Letting too much time flying by means i lost details of condition and kind of render this exercise (some kind of public training journal) pretty pointless… Week 25 sees my latest stint at gym. It is also the beginning of heatwave, meaning all activities grinded to a…

  • Weeks 21, 22, 23 and 24 🤦

    Time is flying by so fast… the weekly report has turned monthly … Because of heat and too much work, training consistency went down the drain this period. Also i was expecting my new bike to arrive those days, which took it’s time to get delivered, during wich i kind of procrastinated my training. Thanks…

  • Week 15 & 16

    On week 15, except monday’s marathon turned half marathon because of poor fitness, i didnot do a single exercise. Work and family got in the way… On saturday 11, put my Five Fingers on and went for city run, without any route planned. I like these kind of runs where body cannot unconsciously adapt to…

  • 1st gravel experience

    On Saturday i rented a gravel bike, to have a glimpse of what it’s like to ride a good, fully functional bike. My daily commute is done on a Brompton. I can do good speed with it, but i’ve never done more than 25k with it, without much EG. My longer rides (mostly summer family…
