    48 min of rowing plus connected slides in pairs. Cue 29 minutes of frustration and 19 min of "oh ok well this is going shockingly well". The first round of frustration was, I think, primarily an issue of how far apart the slides were (we didn't set it up well), the second round was not.

    Today I did 30 minutes on the treadmill (on an incline)
    Then I did the 30 minute circuit at planet fitness. This is my first week back in the gym so I’m not sure what kind of routine I will end up doing.

    Current weight 224.6
    Goal weight 200 (first goal weight)

    Meant to do 20 tonight, but I am more sore and in need of a second rest day than I realized. Had that “something is gonna pull” feeling a bit too much.

    Just an observation - take it or leave it. Some of your rest days haven't really been seemingly like rest days, especially given how new you are to this sort of exercise (though I could be wrong on that point). I know recently at least once, if not a few times you've said something about riding X number of minutes on a rest day. This could be your body telling you to take a day or two off the bike entirely.

    No weights today, ran 3.1 miles and the last mile I ran it in 7 minutes 59 seconds, my fastest mile yet. I could hear the wind howling through the music in my headphones at one point.

This could be your body telling you to take a day or two off the bike entirely.

    I went through the past 3+ months of my posts and only a few times have I really spoken about that. The other day I had already had a rest day and found that I needed a second.

    30:20 and 10 miles. Didn’t plan to workout at all today. I certainly didn’t want to. I was super sore already.
    This was more me being sore from a good workout, not in need of a rest day. Anyone working out can get sore throughout the week. Not wanting to workout was from being lazy.
    No workout yesterday, had to have a day off as 5 days riding in a row was enough that my body needed a day off.

    burned 475 calories doing 33 minutes of Bicycling, >20 mph, racing (cycling, biking, bike riding)

    33:55, 20km/12.43 miles , 475 calories.
    Again, started at 25(max), stayed there until the end.

    I had a night off, and came back without issue.
    15 miles / 46:27 / 485 calories
    Had to take it slow after my knee issue last night.

    Had a flair up the previous night from an old injury where I was side swiped by a truck while chasing down some thieves. Took that night off and then was cautious the next night. I only biked because I felt fine that evening and had been careful about it the entire day.
    13 miles / 38:17 / 457 calories
    That same off feeling near the glute. Called it for the night. Not gonna push and tear. I was riding at 25 (max) and doing 60-80 rpm. That’s pushing hard.
    Ended my ride early that night. Again, listening to my body. Felt fine to do a slower ride the next night.
    10.1 miles / 28:42 / 370 calories
    Not bad for my rest day.

    2,940.8 miles left this year.
    I was at the end of my day, listening to how my body was feeling, and did a ride. That was after 2 days of riding. Not really that uncommon for short rides.
    10 miles / 31:33 / 308 calories
    Biking tonight wasn’t on the plan.. tomorrow is a rest day for sure.

    Took a rest day as well. I hadn't planned to ride that night. I did because I was feeling great.

    Meant to do 20 tonight, but I am more sore and in need of a second rest day than I realized. Had that “something is gonna pull” feeling a bit too much.

    Cut my ride short and planned a rest day after. Again, I am reacting to how I feel and moderating from there.


    So far this year I have kept track of each ride. Usually I do 3 days in a row max. I had a really good stretch of 4, but then took a rest. Out of these many months of riding, 2 posts meet the criticism. Both said I was going to take a night off as well.

    These rides have been lower intensity and resistance. 7 occurrences in nearing 4 months of biking isn't bad. When something feels off, I stop, assess, and take time if i need it. I also don't post here on off nights as it would be without purpose. A 4 day in a row workout session is the outlier. 2-3 days in a row is the norm. Rest days are also the norm.. but again, I don't post here when I'm in a rest day. So, considering I didn't workout for a few days, I started NYD not working out. So -/4/-/3/-/1/- That's 8 days riding out of 12 days. Seems more than reasonable for light intensity rides that aren't long.

    I didn't expect you to post a play by play of your rides this month nor your various rest days. I was just going off of what I remembered. I didn't pretend to have remembered all of your posts - not in the least. I'm also willing to be wrong given that I don't keep an eagle eye on your (or anyone else's) posts. I also wouldn't expect you to post about your rest days in general unless there's something out of the ordinary going on.

    Also I should note, my post wasn't a criticism (as you termed it) at all, it was an observation with a suggestion attached (that I said upfront to take of leave). I will say, if the "something doesn't feel right" continues and is more fatigue than potential orthopedic issues, you might want to think about spacing your rest days different. Ie biking Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday instead of three days in a row. You'd get the same amount of training stress but you'd have more time to recover in between.

    Today was rowing on the water - I'm finally finally waking up before 5am without my alarm.

    I had a lot of issues with regards to squaring my blade early enough and just staying in time in general. I was fine working by 4s and 6s, but once we got to whole boat work, I was having issues. I suspect at least some of it had to do the fact that it was my first time out on the water in two weeks and my being a novice meaning a quicker rate of skill attrition. As one of the advanced rowers who was in my boat said when I talked to him afterword, "you don't do a lot of squaring on an erg" :D Again with these non-buoyant ergs...

    I think today was also the farthest I've rowed which was cool and I was a lot less anxious than usual which was great. I'm glad we've been doing work on the erg on Wednesdays evenings at high stroke rates because we were at a 28 a for probably 6 or 8 minutes total (in 2 minute spurts) on our way back to the dock. At one point we went from a 24 or 26 down to an 18....that was an interesting experience.

    Parkrun 5k. I've got a lovely new 5k PB to show for my trouble :drinker:

    I really should get to parkrun more often. I know it's not a race but it's the closest I get to race conditions for the distance. Can't remember the last race I did below 10k and I really do push harder in a race, when I'm just running on my own I take it too easy.

    It's not really my distance of choice, my first 5k race since 2016!

    I've been running the distance quite a lot lately, thought I'd take on the red January thing then remembered I'm already doing a run streak so upped my minimum to 3.1 miles. Still my favourite race distance is a half, although I'll happily run a 10k if it's challenging enough or in an interesting location.

    Impressive, my minimum for RED January is 1 mile, but then I usually only run 3-4 x a week

    15 mile easy marathon training run today. Not sure that anyone would really say that 15miles is easy. Was mostly in to the wind, and a little slower than usual.
