Climb of the Week... my training diary entry from July 23 2026

_{(When I was walking home one evening a few days ago after visiting my mum, the sky looked exactly like that, no matter where you looked.)}

Hi Actifitters,

in addition to my upper-body workout, I also ticked off the "Climb of the Week" yesterday. For those who haven't been following me for long: I train almost every day on my smart indoor bike trainer using the "Zwift" software. It is a training platform that allows you to do targeted workouts, complete challenges, or race live against others. New challenges—including the "Route of the Week" and "Climb of the Week"—are released every Monday, and yesterday I chose the "Climb of the Week" for my session.

Here are some numbers of my cycling session:

Duration - 0:38:30
Distance - 14.04 km
Elevetaion gain - 385 m
Average speed - 21.9 km/h
Maximum speed - 69.9 km/h
Average power output - 207 watts
Maximum power output - 357 watts
Average heart rate - 148 bpm
Maximum heart rate - 180 bpm

These figures also include the descent, as is easily apparent from the top speed. No one can ride uphill at that speed—at least not on a bicycle.

Mission 80 (Day 25 = 89.0 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 1.0 kg)

My weight today aligns pretty closely with my expectations. I’ve lost another 100 grams since yesterday. Given that I had a calorie deficit of around 700 yesterday, that makes perfect sense—after all, 700 calories are said to correspond to 100 grams of body fat. The significant fluctuations at the start of the challenge might well have been due to an imbalance in my water levels; since I hadn't done any real exercise for a long time due to my injury, my body likely made adjustments regarding water and glycogen stores as I got back into the routine.

I’m really curious to see if I can make further progress with the close-grip push-ups today. Otherwise, I have quite a lot to get done today and am not yet sure if I’ll have enough time for a cycling session. But I’ll try to fit in at least a short one.
