Chapel Century 100 Mile Audax
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- The 100 mile Chapel Century was my first ever Audax attempt. One year ago I failed to get round it. Has a year of training paid off? I had a blow out right at the start. There's nothing like a good disaster to start a ride!
- Will I start?
- Will I get round?
- Will I get round in time?
- How has my cycling fitness improved in one year?

**** MY HEATH AND FITNESS BACKGROUND ****
Many years ago, I had spondylitis, chronic fatigue, IBS and depression. 10 miles of cycling was about my limit before back pain set in. All my symptoms became much worse and I was sometimes so exhausted that I would struggle walking upstairs and I was in and out of hospital for various procedures, which seemed to make matters worse. After pleading in prayer about what to do, I believe I received the answer I needed, which was to go and radically change my diet. I ate nothing but fruit and giant salads for 6 months straight. I had a miraculous turnaround in my health, which was a massive answer to prayer. Thank you Lord!
This UA-cam channel was originally created many years ago, to share what I did to recover. I've since changed it's name to 'Ayup Stuggy', something that's more personal to me rather than just diet focused. After this healing journey, I can now eat and do things that I would have struggled with or found impossible before. For the past year I've been attempting to improve my fitness after neglecting it due to too many of life's stresses, and not enough excercise.
As you can see in my later videos, my eating is much more relaxed now. Significant healing has occurred inside me, and I'm able to cope with more 'normal' food that everyone else eats. However, I still prefer to eat loads of fruit, giant salads, heaps of veggies, and I try to limit my intake of meat and baked products. When with friends, and when out and about, I do now eat and enjoy these previously problematic foods.
Take care and bless you.

Well done 👏🏼👏🏼🤠 Weardale is my favourite cycling area .. The Chapel Century is a fab route 🫶
Thanks. I love it up in Weardale and Teesdale. I've just got back from a ride up that way, From Durham to Stanhope, Rookhope and Blanchland. My chain snapped on the way back. A possible video may follow of that!
Enjoyed watching your video, you definitely get to know your local area with a 100 mile radius more than you would in a car. The distance you cycle amazes me 😊🚲🚴🚵🦙💪
Thanks Peter! It's a stunning area to cycle around, and well worth the effort. I'm managing to do some rides now that I only dreamed of before. I'm still no where near as fit as many of the other seasoned Audaxers though!
