Sun. AM 30 minute walk etc. // 40 minutes hill repeats at MAX.Trade the skipping for a bike if you have access, stationary or real. Or a rower. Treadmill running excellent. Lose the Sunday hill sprints for 2 months at least, you'd want to be running 6-7km with no pain at good pace before sprinting up a hill.
Rest looks sensible

30 odd km bike ride today. Might grab a bike when I'm home eh. Quite satisfying chewing up the time and kms without noticing.

road or mountain? I only have a roadie, which is great, but you hit the issues of safety, and time needed for a decent workout. You just can't beat a run for max benefit in time available

You can if a run is unavailable. I don't understand the first question.

@Bones Road bike or mountain bike? Im tempted to get a mountain bike when I get resettled. Can get a solid ride in with half the time available and no cars to watch out for. And you can do it at midday rather than 5am which has to be a plus.

Oh yeah so my team won our intra-club "ready4rugby" tournament. Ended up really enjoying it and finally started to find my groove the last 3 or so weeks - agility is really coming back and legs no longer feel like cement. Finals day on Saturday was a blast.
We've got inter-club tournies going on too but not putting my name down, despite doing much better now it's not really my game so I'll leave it up to the kids. Really hoping we manage to get some proper rugby in at some stage though, feeling like I can make a good fist of it now.

Oh yeah, 42 now. So last year was mostly good, weighed myself the other day and had slipped under 86, been doing fuck nothing in terms of serious exercise though.
Doing dry January just for the sake of it and kicking off the running again.
Didn't end up playing the interclub as they altered some of the rules, the nail in the coffin being that after the first touch instead of just throwing the ball above your head and then passing, you had to drop and roll over....in December...in the UK. Get fucked, I don't play touch to get muddy as shit.

Did you not get the memo that Boris has cancelled dry January?

I did not - I leave all that kind of stuff up to Bonesetta to relay to me.
Bitch.
