Great photos @professor
Thats right, simple is more than often better.
10miles is good going.
Iām currently running (fast jogging) my 3 mile loop plus extra at the weekend etc.
The nice weather is encouraging me to get a short jog in before work too, but quite often I find Iām starting work earlier to get home sooner.
First world problems hey?

Iām nowhere near running capable yet as canāt get the leg fully back, need to stretch the thigh muscles more. Plus until I see an X-ray without a crack in it, Iām very careful. I had them take the locking screws out so I donāt have rotation strength, the screws were interfering with my knee, I tried to get all the metalwork out but surgeon said too risky for at least a year.
So itās walking and slow biking only for months still.
Sausage, bacon, black pudding anyone?

I know you like photos here.
I present you the two garden guards.
The figures are ca 50cm. So they look very impressive!
The garden looks like a jungle meanwhile
We love it.
Not a āGerman gardenā at all!

Not difficult, from about aged 14 the strength builds and itās primarily a focus on when you eat, an energetic day is about 4000-5000 calories and body stores once fit about 2000 calories so just need to eat little often within first couple of hours as it takes 2 hours to turn food from mouth to legs.
Thatās the only secret, and most donāt realise, they think eating big night before helps, nope, or just ride til hungry, nope.
Body can store sugars in legs and liver only so much and dumps excess into fat which then is too slow a release source to last 100 miles, burn 500 cals/hour.
So after 2 hours biking you have to eat 500 cals/hour and only stop eating 2 hours before stopping.
Then overnight the sugar is repopulated from fat stores so you lose weight overnight as the calorie debt is repaid.
