What Was Your Work Out Today?

Got a light lift in last night, which is good, as I really didn't feel like doing it. I'm gradually adding in more intensity into these.
This AM, another hour row outside. Getting warm, so I was proud of myself keeping the HR all under 140 for the entire hour. I did have to slow down a bit at around 30 minutes in to keep it from creeping, so the heat definitely affected me a bit. It was mid 70s by the time I started at 5 AM. Getting to be Summer in Tucson!1 -
Feeling pretty wiped today. Did half an upper deload session. Saving some energy for a heavy leg day tomorrow2

Another 5K at the slightly faster pace from Monday. I'll try to repeat it again on Friday and then try to speed it up a hair again next week, see how close I can get to a 30 minute 5K.2

5 mile walk 4 mile run while my daughter rode her bike then some strength training.2

4 mile run. It was SO hot out today and for some reason I wore full length leggings instead of digging out my running shorts. Ugh...big mistake.2

Today was not great. I attempted a deload upper body session but my body got so tired. I think the last few weeks of hard exercise is catching up to me. I ended up with brain fog all morning and most of the afternoon. My muscles are achy and twitchy, which tells me I need rest. This saddens me as I wanted to have a heavy leg day tomorrow.
A short 20 min walk helped but I think I’ll still just eat a few extra carbs.
What do you do when you suffer from these brain fog days? Inability to focus, tired.0 -

Not much I can do when I get that tired and feeling blah. I will usually either take a day off and just get rest/good nights sleep, or maybe do something light like yoga/stretching? That way I'm still moving but just not exerting myself.2 -
20 pushups, 20 sit-ups, 4.3 mile run2

An hour's climbing.
I am getting more used to my board. It is good for training big, thuggy dynamic moves. It is less good for technique stuff. I mainly practiced dynos today.
It was very fun. I worked out by torchlight after dark.4 -
20 minutes strength training, 30 minutes on an elliptigo... Those things are WAAAAY tougher than either an actual elliptical OR a bike (could have been due to doms, though). I think I'm addicted.2

My former tri coach used to ride her elliptigo during our long runs, carrying nutrition and extra water bottles in a wicker basket on the handle bars. This picture was taken at one of our early season training camp weekends held at a very well known race and vacation destination in upstate NY.

Well, just getting a small taste of what the rest of Summer will feel like at 5 AM. Today was well over 70 degrees when I started my row. Today and tomorrow are closing in on record heat days. Will reach around 105 or more both days. Did a decent job keeping the HR down under 140 (72% of Max) for most of the row.4

Easy paced 4 mile run again tonight.2

Apparently, I'm 18 steps away from 10k lol Other than walking for errands and such, I kept it light 'n short with a quick lower body workout this evening. That means three rounds of the "25-Pound Dumbbell Leg Workout" .... with an 8lb DB

Today I woke up earlier than usual because I had a medical appointment. After breakfast I had some time left so I did two short workouts to distract myself. I was really nervous because the appointment was to be tested for antibodies and blood tests are my biggest phobia so the workouts helped take my mind off things. By the way, I did not need to be fasted to be checked for antibodies, that's why I had breakfast
The workouts I did were the 7-minute workout to lose belly fat and the 7-minute pear shape workout by Lucy Wyndham-Read. I'm trying to do those every day.
Later in the day I have a live-stream ashtanga yoga class. This is the sequence we do and the class is about an hour and a half.3 -

32 chin ups, 100 push ups (both in sets to failure)2 -
The reason I worked so hard at doing an easy hour (row on the Concept2) each of the last two days was for today's workout. Among indoor (and OTW) rowers, this is known as one of the hardest workouts you can do -- the dreaded 4 X 2K. I actually forgot to turn on the HRM for the first interval. The last "hump" on the graph is actually my cool down, believe it or not.
Not the fastest of times (my best times were all around 7:40s to 7:50s on this workout), but I'm slowly getting there and don't feel worse for the wear with what is really a brutally hard workout. Also hot morning as well. We're having that record heat week.

Ran a 10K this morning. Up at 6:30 am and it was still too hot!!4

@Mike Pfirrman - Looks like you hammered it with HR that high. If I"m reading the chart correctly, the work periods were about 8-9 minutes. How long are the recovery intervals? Looks like your HR recovered very well in a short time, a mark of true cardio fitness.
Maybe you could have done a few more rounds? Kidding!! 2
