For completing the challenge: what luck and contentment!  How precious to witness open hearts, kind messages and generosity - those believing in and giving their tangible commitment to Recovery Works, colleagues and volunteers.

The energy yield of fats compared to carbohydrates: "...one molecule of a fatty acid can generate a stunning theoretical yield of 129 ATP molecules. A glucose molecule makes 34 ATP".

Not that I planned it this way, but thought it was a neat ending to this challenge.  My focus now is to recover actively, by mainly getting my running shoes back on and out into nature.

My first swim after the second lockdown month. I felt like I was swimming in treacle for most of the distance, which is understandable with the gap out of the pool.

One of the most helpful thoughts is to start the night before: get the running or yoga clothing out and just take a step outside or get on the mat. I applaud and praise anyone just starting, turning up, getting outside and so on.
