one did recommend short intensity 20-minute work-outs once (the vigorous kind). I think most agree that a couple of hours' walk or 10000 steps is a nice baseline however.


... high-intensity training (HIT); it's something you need to build up to, although the results are quite impressive (http://www.bbc.com/news/health-17177251).

For some strange reason your post was removed - but I got the email. I agree, it's about enjoying it now. I have enjoyed walking this week and will certainly continue. Thanks for your advice!

I suspect I shall enjoy working while working too mind, but let's see...


Glad to hear it Huw and yes - even when I'm not translating, e.g. out walking, I'm constantly translating anyway, in my head....I'm sure others do that too.

Can't beat a good walk Jun 1, 2016

I find that a good walk is a great way of thinking through things and coming up with new ideas. The problem is forgetting them when I get back home again!

...for this one, but take your phone with you. Most phones these days have a voice recorder/dictaphone.

Cardiff is about 30 minutes in the car from the heart of the Brecon Beacons too, depending on traffic. Stunning around there. I sometimes go up there to pick wynberries.
