What Was Your Work Out Today?

Had a 30 minute session with my trainer this morning. Fridays are my easy day so nothing too strenuous, mountain climbers, wall sits, tricep dips, seated rows and leg extensions. She also stretched my legs out for a few minutes. Afterwards I took my dog for a 25 minute walk. So glad to have her home! Hoping to do some more walking and stretching after work.1

90 min doing a TrainerRoad workout (Baxter) with Zwift and Netflix on in the background. That ends week 1 of 6 of TR's low volume sweet spot base plan (part 1).1

The usual Friday 7k row in the double. The only novelty was that for the first time in a long while, we experimentally threw in a few power pieces (increased boat speed by applying more power), rather than doing all steady state.
This has been an unusually steady-state on-water season; usually we mix it up more. Between my knee issues (which led to a full exercise hiatus for a few weeks over the Winter), then recent rib injury, and my most frequent double partner's hip compromises (pre- and post-hip replacement, which was on 7/1/2019), we've been excessively cautious.
It went OK, at the time. If it settles in OK, we'll be adding more intensity more often. I'm more the problem than she is: She's the most amazingly ready to roll person. Today, she was all "yay, power pieces!" I wanna be like her when I'm 73, but I'm not too optimistic.

All of you guys are doing great! Just some easier work today for me. Was supposed to be 2 X 27 minutes in the Indoor rower. First half went fantastic -- 19 SPM felt easy so I just settled in there. DF (drag factor) nice and low - 87 or so. 2:26 pace for 27 minutes. Then during my second set, the wife brought my son's dog home from the Groomer (we're watching him for a few months while my son settles down from his move to San Diego) and all hell broke loose in my workout room, which I share with our three dogs -- normally very calm in their crates and happy to be in there. When Floyd came home, all the rest went nuts. Aborted the second set after 15 minutes and just was content to finish on the AirDyne Pro. All easy work. Actually felt all surprisingly easy after yesterday's hard row. That's encouraging but it might be because I took some days off last week made me feel fresher than normal on a Friday.
Tomorrow, off day! Just walk the puppies and clean the pool and grocery shop.2 -
I did a combination of bench dips, push-ups, pull-ups, and shoulder flies. It was a instense! Found it here: https://noobgains.com/tom-hardy-warrior-workout/
Got excited cause Tom Hardy did it for his Warrior movie. I'd give my left arm to look like him

...which made this morning's BodyPump class fun AND NO MISTAKE. BodyBalance to follow. And then a high probability of cake for lunch. If I can still lift a fork.0

Missed a couple of workouts due to a family medical emergency this week:( Did have a good sprinting workout with my son on Thursday. He’s devised “punishments” for the loser of each race (e.g. having to roll across our yard, 10 seconds of tickles). Definitely makes things interesting!
Will finally get to my Krav class this morning.3 -
Saturday.
No bootcamp.today so I went to parkrun with a friend. At the last minute we decided to try the newer, tougher, trail parkrun.really enjoyed it, although 5k still isn't my distance. Feels like I'm just settling in and it's time for the sprint finish.0 -

Rest day physically - coxed a novice 4. It was a challenge for a lot of reasons and now after that, coffee/breakfast, and a trip to farmers market, I'm very peopled out for the day.2

Same here. It's a physical rest day today for me too. Kind of not looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow, but got to do it. People are starting to get sick at my gym with the weather changing, so I have to start being more careful now especially when I see a lot of people don't always wipe down the machines after they use them 🧐0 -

Exactly. I'm a bit anxious about going sculling tomorrow (rowing with two oars per person - I'm not especially good at it and it makes me nervous) but I have to do it. Not doing so will just make things worse. My rowing club started late fall/winter land workouts yet (all rowing machine all the time except for the weekends), but when we do we are very good about wiping down the rowing machines. The number of Clorox/Lysol wipes that we go through is staggering and people hold each other accountable. That said, when you have hundreds of people (my club and the juniors) using the machines multiple times a week you have to be.1 -
Usual 6.9k rowing a double, this time in bow with my former Big Ten champ rower buddy sitting stroke. Still steady state, but a little more energetic than usual, because li'l ol' lady gotta try to rep.
Technically, it's good for me to try to match her length through the water on the drive: Her technique is better in so many ways (duh! ), and she's also a few inches taller.
I'm noticing that the Great Blue Herons are tending to be a little more photogenic on average (though I have no photos to prove it), presumably because it's getting colder overnight, so they "pose" in a bit more stretched-out and fluffed-up position to sun themselves to better warmth in the morning. Being in the outdoors and seeing the sights is one of the things that makes on-water rowing so delightful.1 -

You got this! One day at a time. Might need some kind of energy source to give you an extra boost tomorrow though. It's definitely hard to find the motivation to go sometimes.
Clorox wipes & sanatizer are great to have around. That's good the people you're around use them. We're given a rag with some kind of cleaning solution & there are sanatizer dispensers all over the gym, but people don't always use them. I'm going to have to start breaking out my medical masks when I go till this passes. Last time I was at the gym during cold/ flu season I caught bronchitis a week before my birthday right before we were leaving for vacation. It was an awful experience.0 -

A very good nearly 10k in a quad sitting 3 seat. We weren't the fastest quad on the water, but I was able to a lot of good work technique wise. I also got some useful coaching and apparently made good changes during the middle of our 21 minute piece (21 min variable rates).
I'm suppose to have practice tomorrow and tuesday, however thunderstorms are also supposed to be a thing those two days. Hopefully I won't wake up to thunder tomorrow.2 -
A 7 mile bike ride that was supposed to be 15 or 20. Some idiot wore shorts unaware that someone pulled the plug on summer today. 🤣3

Yesterday, I got a cheeky quarry dive in the morning. The visibility was only about 50 centimetres in places, but my buddy was a pretty decent diver, so we lasted 50 minutes.
My drysuit was dry. I think the earlier leak I had was user error on the neck seal. It flares out, so I can only double it over a little bit.
Today, I did 10k on the indoor rower. It took me 46.39 minutes, 2.20 pace. It is my best time yet, but objectively still pretty slow.
Two hours after the rowing, I did 80 minutes' bouldering. It turned out that the rowing sapped my finger strength, so it was a pretty poor session.1 -

Been stuck indoors most of the day but finally got out to do a very easy 30min sunset run. Only supposed to have done 10-15minutes to keep running steak going, but needed to get out and run a bit longer.2

90 minutes of cardio at the gym today. Got carried away a few times on that rope thingy that you pull down in a constant loop. It's like a rope pulley that you pull down, almost like you're climbing a rope but it feeds you more on a loop. Tried to pull it so slow it didn't get my HR over 75% but then I got carried away and got the HR up to 90% max. The rest was rower, stairmaster and stationary bike at around 150 watts (the bike says I'm riding at 250 Watts but the gym equipment is so inaccurate).3
