First attempt at a dedicated 5k, looked at the watch with 0.35 miles to go and thought I was going to die but once I'd finished and walked for 5 mins started thinking "That wasn't too bad" 😂 #exercise #running #runstr

2000lb bombs being loaded onto American bombers at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and flying out to bomb Iran, do UK citizens get a say in this - of course not!

The UK government is desperately trying to hide this from you. They are literally putting up tarps on the fences of RAF Fairford so the public can'...

All I see in the UK is construction and building work on greenbelt or farmland. There's an industrial/business park not far from me and they're now expanding it into several acres of previous farmland, the hedgerows and the odd oak trees that separated the fields have all been cut down and bulldozed, want to hear the kicker? A few of the units on the existing business park have laid empty for years. Then there's the sprawling new build housing estates spreading out in every direction of most small towns totally devoid of wildlife and greenery just brick and tarmac with a few square metres of shit lawn and paving for a garden. The amount of speed cameras popping up everywhere is getting kinda crazy as well, not just one or two but several spread out along most routes even B roads that measure your speed from one to the other, if the paedo elites want to roll out their dystopian 15 minute cities - the UK will no doubt be the testing ground. I know wilderness and homesteading is often overglamorised and can actually be a tough life but these new build housing estates are just soul crushing.

Tried to keep it light and aerobic, one of the hills spiked me162bpm but average was relatively low. Just took a bike bottle with water & salt but it wasn't about time/performance/speed. Got 35mph out of it down one of the hills but didn't fancy the Michael Guerra plank move 😂 #exercise #bike #bikestr

Haven't tried running a 5k yet but had another go at tempo; x2 10mins with 90secs breather inbetween. Garmin captured a new PB from the session, probably couldn't hold that 10 minute pace for full 5k though. 5k runners are psycho's though because your brain starts telling you to stop 😂 #exercise #running #runstr

Just been watching a series on YouTube of Paul Sellers making a woodworking bench, every single component was thicknessed, squared up and flattened by hand using a plane, that's a lot of work! Gotta respect those who came before us and used to do everything by hand like pit sawing lumber.

When people think of Snap On tools they think high gloss mirror finish chrome but did you know about 20 years ago they had a range called Eurotools with less chrome and matte finishes more associated with European brands like Hazet. The spanners were good and strong though, they had that dense heavy feel like old Britool & KingDick before the brands were bought out and the quality went away. Many years ago when I used to purchase tools directly off the Snap-on truck quite a lot of the items were actually Bluepoint, in the image the slip grips, air ratchet and ballpien hammer are all Bluepoint. Did you know that VW vehicles which are now considered classics used to come with a Hazet 'roundbox' tool kit? #tools #toolstr #car #carstr #repairs

Didn't care how long it took or how fast I was running as it's about trying to build an aerobic base, the only data feeds displayed on the watch while out were HR & Cadence. There was 682ft of ascent during the run and I wanted to cap my HR at 145bpm so walked on some of the hills, around 3 mins total. Didn't take any water and it was windy af, maybe in better conditions HR could've been lower. #exercise #running #runstr

It's not sexy 💋 There's no stats to flex 💪 But keep stacking some low effort aerobic miles. #exercise #running #runstr

💥 Blast from the past! Just having a game of Lemmings played in the browser via one of those online DOS emulators.

Even if you've only got an entry level Garmin watch like mine - Forerunner55, you can still create a workout on the Garmin App and Bluetooth it to your watch which I thought was cool and didn't know you could do. Created a strides workout and tried it today, loads better than looking at the watch or manually pressing lap. Set it for 20 second strides with 2 minutes recoveries x5, the watch beeps 3 times and then vibrates to start/stop the intervals while also collecting and separating the data, still managed to mess the data up though on the last recovery by manually stopping the session instead of letting it finish on its own. Easy aerobic 6 miles, pace increased to 10:57 min/mile but maintained the 136bpm lower aerobic HR, 171spm avg. So the zone 2 stuff must be paying off. Then some strides, 20 seconds, 2 min recovery x5. #exercise #running #runstr

"Cow farts cause global warming, plebs and serfs will have to stop eating meat, petrol and diesel vehicles must be banned along with wood burning stoves" The Epstein class... Bombs Nordstream and releases half a million tonnes of methane, bombs Iran's oil & gas infrastructure just as they did during the Gulf War, US military emits more greenhouse gases than most countries a year, the elites all own gas guzzling mega yachts, private jets and fly everywhere.

Anyone got hyper-reactive vagal reflexes? If you do I know the feeling well and it's pretty intense. Had it a few times in the past from breaking fingers, severing tendons in my hand and also from standing up quickly and running upstairs with alcohol in my system 🥴🫀 Onlookers would think "Look at that wimp" but the effects of plummeted blood pressure, overwhelming sickness and dizziness emanating from the gut area is x10 worse than the injury pain and you can't just suck it up mentally or use willpower, it's intense for about 10 minutes until everything stabilises. Maybe once you're aware of what it's all about you'll be less susceptible or at least try to counter it before it kicks in by laying down and elevating your legs etc, Wim Hof claims you can control your vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system with breathing, cold exposure and the mind. It's like your body is a Windows OS and the screen just went blue. #physiology #biology #health #mind

Maybe people would think this was shuffling or glorified walking but it was about keeping the HR low, getting some miles in and staying low aerobic, 134bpm avg over 17 miles seemed like an achievement for me and the max during the run was 145bpm on inclines or darting across the road when there's a gap in the traffic and I needed to cross. Average cadence was 167spm but it began to feel a bit forced trying to keep it over 165 at a slower pace and started to feel it a bit in the achilles, soleus and plantar structures, maybe during longer easy runs I should probably let my spm settle more 160-165spm especially later on rather than forcing it higher just to appease the watch. My cadence scales ok when I go faster. #exercise #running #runstr

Tempo 🏃 15 mins light aerobic running 10 mins at 7:41 mins/mile pace 2 mins jog 10 mins at 7:25 mins/mile pace. Haven't tried setting a 5k time yet but Garmin captured a new pr of 24:57 mins from this session. #exercise #running #runstr

Are my easy runs too slow? Sun, Mon Tues,140 -> 136 -> 132bpm ♥️ averages, 171spm avg today 👟 Still trying to dial in this zone 2 stuff. #exercise #running #runstr

A bit frustrating, ego killing and feelings of starting again from scratch but most runs are now shorter and slower, the watch is set to only display 2 data feeds while out - HR & Cadence. Averages on runs have gone from: 2-3hr to 1hr 9.5-10 min/mile pace to 11 150-160 bpm to 136bpm 158spm to 167spm The willingness was there but not the aerobic development for running. #exercise #running #runstr

Burning coal and drinking alcohol. 🖕The New World Order

Scraped together enough offcuts and scraps of timber to knock up a step up box 🦵🏋️ A bit rough but it's only a box to stand on in the garage, some of the bits were just rough sawn timber and none of it got ran through a planer because I don't have one. I've got a Dewalt mitre saw and Dewalt tablesaw - it might only be a smaller jobsite saw but it's a cracking machine once it's all set up right and it has a rack and pinion fence so it's really accurate. Had looked at the DW735 planer but hardly anyone sells them in the UK and the ones that are available are about £1200 which is crazy when you can buy them in the US for $600-$700, typical rip off Britain! B&Q's plywood is the nastiest shit you can buy, doesn't matter how you cut it, even if you used a really high tooth count blade, a melamine blade or did a light score cut first it would still splinter because the surface layer is painfully thin and probably hardly glued but at the end of the day it's considered construction grade stuff, if you want something sandable you'd have to buy furniture grade ply, if you tried to sand this stuff you'd go through the face layer. Trying to do stuff in a few square metres of garage is a ballache tbh and a Henry hoover doesn't really cut when it comes to dust and chips, everywhere soon turns into a bomb site, did look into a big class M shop vac and cyclone combo which would be a big upgrade but proper shop space would be the solution where you could at least leave each piece of machinery set up in it's place rather than climbing over stuff and moving it around. If money, space and 3 phase electrics were no barrier I'd go ham and get a Martin T32 planer thicknesser, T54 surface planer, T27 spindle moulder and T66 sliding panel saw, might as well throw in Graule QNF trencher and Graule ZS radial arm saw as well 🇩🇪🛠️📐
