Thanks all. I track all of this with a whoop and my garmin so pretty on top of the numbers etc it's more seeing what people who are fit and my age seem to have as a hrv score triggers me and think I must be doing something wrong.

HR is rolling 30 day average so combination of exercise, sleep and normal day to day

Just looked up my splits but it’s was something like:

Ski - 21:35
Row - 19.16
Run - 18:40

I think I also went Row, Ski, Run according to Strava.

Does anyone else measure their HRV?

I’d say I’m a reasonably fit person, don’t really drink and in general eat healthily. Sleep would probably average around 6.5hrs per night. 36yrs old

But my hrv is like 38 - resting heart rate is 57 so not great but still feel like my hrv should be higher…

Did a three plate bench today…

25, 5 and 2.5 😅

It’s a really good challenge but some of the training is a bit tedious - 8-10kms on the erg can be fairly dry!

It was back to back but I didn’t include the time of the transitions as I was doing it at my gym - they were essentially a bit of recovery but I wasn’t too worried about that as it was really can I do all three in a row under 1hr.

I did the ski erg first as it’s my weakest. Then the row as I knew I might have to pull some time back and that was probably the place to do it. Run last as strongest event and thought I could squeeze a sub 19 if needed (it was!)

It’s a no from me on the joggers

I got one of the reversible drakes raglan coats last year. It’s great and I wear it all the time. I’d say it’s worth investing in if you think you will wear it often

Mob is really good

I got the cafe Cecilia recipe book recently - quite a lovely thing and a decent spread of recipes.

Yeah I did a 5km run, row and ski aiming for sub-1hr for the three events.

I find the ski hardest still as my power is lacking and size is more of an advantage in that event.

David Sachs named crypto czar - which is likely a good thing for btc and other crypto projects

They remove too much metal and in my experience are a decent way of messing up knives. I had a steel which I use most often just to keep a decent edge on the knives. Everyone tells me using whetstones is easy but always feels more faff than I want. So I also have a lansky knife sharpening system which is pretty fool proof. There is also the Horl system for sharpening which is more expensive but gets good reviews.
I have also taken to sending my knives off to get sharpened as it’s not that expensive if you get a few done and usually means I can keep the edge with the steel.

Fortitude still reigns supreme in the London’s expensive mince pie wars (north of the river).

That said I think that at £2 a pop the Pavillion mince pies are best value.

If you are out East then I would recommend Ancient Grains in Forest Gate as a less well known mince pie.

You just have to get used to a different technique because obviously if you’re moving the pan a lot you either lose heat or scratch the hob

Burn 🔥 🔥

Massive induction convert. I think the only thing I miss is wok cooking on an induction need to invest in a proper outdoor rig a la @dbr to up my wok hey game

Anyone have experience of search funds? Would love to pick your brains as it's an idea I'm looking into

Todays haul

Damn! Looks excellent.

Hoping @Greenbank took my advice and is enjoying the $60k profit they made from Tesla stock in the last 9 days

I went admittedly a number of years ago and wouldn’t go off my own volition but it’s sort of fun and ridiculous and seemed to fit the brief

Tell me more about this slice and how do I order?!

I’d go for Blacklock, Hawksmoor, Beast or Berenjak if it were me

Blacklock seems to fit the bill. Hawksmoor doesn’t really miss either for client dining.

Berenjak could be an interesting option. Devonshire if you manage to get a table.

Marleybone - Lurra, St John, The Wigmore, Beast all seem like potential options

Not sure if @Acliff will kick off a new one of these in the new year but been awesome to see everyone's progress across the lifetime of the thread. Personally find it a great, supportive space to help with what can be quite a difficult to discuss challenge.

I'd also say that this time of year is generally filled with excess and it's more than likely we will all add a little timber over the holidays. Know that if you've done it once you can do it again, so have fun and don't sweat it too much.

eats another mince pie

I found that as lots of people are running spring marathons in the UK, training from now until then can get you a really good base for a 10k. I'd also suggest a running club helps for this and unless you are very good at being consistent with the high intensity sessions.

I'm hoping I'm finally over the itband niggle which has plagued me this year - just in time to begin a training block for an ultra marathon next May
