Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,

Anyone else fancy tracking their time, not just their miles?

You can do it for any activity, or all activities - running, cycling, swimming, walking, yoga, power lifting, even your physio rehab exercises or any "intensity" minutes as measured by your Garmin or Fitbit (other measuring devices are available).

This is the antidote to 10,000 steps!! ;-)

Happy Total Training Time! :-) G

I had better not. I'm a devil for excuses to go out and play instead of being a grown-up.

How many hours do you spend dangling like a spider on a rope at climbing walls (or even belay time could count?) V'rap?! :-) G

I count total session time when I'm climbing, :) G, including route planning and faffing around with the rope and excluding only coffee/lunch breaks. Typically 2-3 hours per session. But if I was to set a logical target of 1,000 hours for the year ... nope, no good could come of it.

Finally getting back on the training hours target this morning after struggling with a cold and motivation. I've been tired all week so even when I put my kit out for an early morning session, I've hit the snooze button. Hope to get a few short sessions of running in before a week's holiday in Scotland where I may track some walking. Then start to establish a winter routine in October.

Walking definitely counts. And Walking in Scotland can count double! ;-) (Going up mountains takes more time than same distance on the flat, obv, so I'm not joking really!) Hope you are feeling right as rain soon Scribs.

How's everyone getting on? I haven't been doing enough cross train. No bike or swim and just 2 sessions a week at gym at best. Need to up the cross train. :-) G

13 run, 5.5 cross train so far this month, so that's a good proportion!

Ooh, I did 6 mins on spin bike on Mon at gym, forgot that. Must log! ;-)

I think walking should count double instead of half for Conquercise and WSW because it takes so much longer per mile than running, but that's a whole other matter :)

If I had a target, which of course I don't, I'd be well up on it, though less up than I might have been back in the days when I was doing masses of cycling. As it is, I'm doing quite a lot of walking, a bit of running and cycling, and a couple of sessions a week of weights.

The problem with any walking I do in Scotland is that it's likely to be walk a bit then stop for ages, as we're doing a bit of a photography trip, rather than a walking trip.

Having done all my races this year, I am in a bit of a motivation lull. But I'm thinking of trying to add a weekly swim and maybe another weight training session to my week now that I'm not so distance focused. I'll check my diary and add some October targets.

June: GimmeMedals - 400 - 184 - 27 Not managing well in the heatwaves so reduced time out and about (enjoy a bit of a chilled time GM, after recent health worries)

June: HappyG - 365 - 146 - 26 Got my 100 miles running but need more gym and other cross train. (You need to run my (gg) pace and you’d have loads of hours for your 100m 🤣)

June: NordRunner - 500 - 284 - 83 - still injured for running much, so went for a bike badge (well done for the biking badge. Hope you’re back to full strength soon)

June: tipsku - 700 - 361 - 61 (13:35 ahead of schedule) June was an easier running month with just 100 miles (Achilles niggle) but I did a lot of cycling and I stepped up with strength training. (Excellent adapting and hope Achilles is eased soon)

About the thread:

A shout out if anyone else wants to set themselves a goal in terms of time training (hours).

Remember, whatever you want to count as training... counts as training. If it's walking the dog, cycling to work, mindfulness and meditation, knitting, whatever you want to track, you track the hours!!

For anyone who wants to join us - it's easy, just estimate how many hours a year of training you want to do, and each month we see if we're on target.

2025 is a GO!

Here we track time spent doing anything you want to track as training. Ideal for non-runners, cross trainers, walkers, the injured etc!

Inspired by Sigh's blog (even though he's not playing any more!) fetcheveryone.com/blog/83896/2019/7#blog395919

Time has now been added to most logs, summaries and graphs, so thanks Fetch! :-) G
