Here’s the week in view according to M3, and a bit of news, so keep going to the foot of the page!

Monday Run session

Brian has posted this here alread so just scrol down to his post - It's Hills!

Zwift/Turbo Wednesday

Remember you don't need to be on Zwift to join us for a turbo workout on a Wednesday evening. We realise that a quite a small section of the club use Zwift, so we have opened up the session to allow everyone to join in. We'll post the group Turbo workout on the M3 Members Facebook group and so we can all complete it together via Zoom (around 6pm and will start at the exact time specified). This won't be entirely coach lead but a coach will be there to keep you right throughout. These sessions are a good chance to ride your bike with friends and catch up on all the fun things we've been up to during lockdown! We hope to see you there this week!

The associated Zoom meeting details you will need are:-

Meeting ID: 811 2303 5193

Password: 841157

For Zwifters, it's time to defend the honour of your club!

Montrose and East Fife are good for a race on Wednesday

Let's go for this event, the shorter race (28km), then select to enter either cat C (3.2W/kg and up) or Cat D (1-3.1 w/kg)

Thursday Pilates with Mairi

Time to look out some of those tins of chick peas you panic bought - Mairi will be leading the Thursday Strength and Conditioning set again this week and these are the required equipment this week's upper body exercises. If you don't have tins of vegetables available you can use hand weights. And they're not in case you get hungry..... It's a 7pm start as usual. We meet on Zoom, where else! Finishes just in time for your last 8pm clap too.

This month's Challenge - Bring Sally Up

Last week - Pauline has already posted an update here so just scroll down to catch up with her plans for a grand finalae

Reminder - It's The M3 Treasure Hunt !!!

Have you started the adventure yet? Perfect for more activity now exercise is "unlimited" near home

Treasure Hunt - Part one - The run!

Jamie has hidden some film capsules with a pencil and piece of paper around Broughty Ferry. (Nobody knows why). But you can locate them with a map and GPS coordinates!

Each of the film capsules have a letter on the side that make a phrase (20 letters in total) some advice when it comes to racing from Jamie to you. They also have part of a riddle in each one. Something ruined his chances of winning the Monikie Triathlon in 2017 solve the riddle to find out what it was.

You don't have to get them all in one go.

For part one you could use a mountain bike or run.

Don't forget to add you name on the piece of paper.

Open Water Swimming Update

Here's Tri Scotland's position on Open Water swimming from 28th May when some of the Lockdown is relaxed in Scotland. It' doesn't say do or don't do it, but spells out the reasons why it might not be a good idea. The club will follow the guidance, and will not be organising or promoting any Open Water swimming activities unless this guidance changes.

Bring Sally Up Challenge-
Only one week left to improve those press ups. You can split the Flowers song into 4 sections. Can you keep going until the end of the song yet? Assess your effort so far:

1. 8 press ups
6 second hold
2. 5 press ups
6 second hold
3. 5 more press ups
6 second hold
4. 12 press ups to finish!

Put like that....it sounds quite easy!
We will get together on a Zoom call next weekend and impress everyone with our new, improved press up ability. Please note your preferred day in the comments. 4 pm Saturday or Sunday? There will be a prize for the best dressed Marine - so look out that camouflage! ... See MoreSee Less

Good Morning M3ers! Last night M3 coaches got together to bounce around more ideas!

Is anyone interested in an Strength and Conditioning AM session through the week? This would follow along the lines of Metafit/HIIT/Bodyweight Exercises and likely at around 7.30/8am just to wake us up.

Don't know about everyone else, but Lewis and I have felt that it can't be good for us getting up in the morning and then sitting down to work right away, so if anyone else is feeling that same way then it would be great to do something!

It's a basic poll, so just answer yes or no and if we have a good amount of interest we'll get the ball rolling :) ... See MoreSee Less

Some light at the end of the tunnel (length unknown) for cycling with friends again? ... See MoreSee Less
