12 miles on my road bike...43 minutes

27 km/hr average. Good speed. Road bike or mountain bike?

I only use my mountain bike now because it gives me a better workout. For me over 43 minutes best I could average is around 22 km/hr

After my power rowing test yesterday, I'm going to start doing something else on my SS (Steady State, moderately easy) rowing days. I upped the DF (drag factor) to around 110 or so this AM and worked on keeping a much more powerful stroke at 18 or 19 SPM, while keeping the HR in check under 140. Was only able to do this for 40 minutes (around 9K meters) until it was creeping above 140. Finished with 20 minutes on the Assault Bike.

Worked hard on form this morning. Worked on powerful leg drive, sequence and sitting up straight/posture. When done right, rowing really works your hips, abs and legs much more than your upper body (what most new rowers do wrong). Really felt it in my lower abs today. Working on all this. This woman is one of the best Concept2 rowing instructors. She's actually teaching a class to get certified online through Concept2 as a Master Instructor. First time they've offered this training/certification virtually (because of Covid-19). Thought about it in the past but with work it's hard for me to travel to workshops. Thinking about taking it and getting licensed to teach.

If you've ever done indoor rowing and wondered about your form. Her videos are all spot on.

Got the bike ready yesterday and rode for 40 minutes this morning before work (bike trail near the house). Felt good, but I know I will feel it tomorrow. This is the first time I have been out on the bike in 2-3 years.

Upper body hypertrophy. Went real easy today since I had to skip a rest day to get the 4 sessions in this week.

clairesbubbe

three kettle bell exercises, four different abs, ab wheel, Inner, outer and inner thighs with a band, Bicep curls, obliques with kettle bell, triceps with a band and 11 lb barbell, shoulders with 11 lb. barbell, tricep kickbacks with 11 lb. barbell

Ran 5.5 miles this afternoon/evening. Took advantage of "lower" humidity (i.e. not above 80% like it usually is here in the Tampa area) to get out for a post-work run. Heat index still above 90 degrees and clear skies so took it at a way-easy pace. My goal was to put some miles in the bank and do it safely, and I did that.

I actually had a full free hour over lunch, so I climbed. The heavens opened, and I needed to give up after half an hour. I climbed again in the evening.

My new game is seeing how few moves I can get to the top in. (It is around 3 metres vertical, or 5 as the crow flies given the angle.) I can do it it in 3 fairly easily. 2 is my challenge for the next few weeks.

Hour on the bike trainer yesterday and today was a run day.

70 minute run done mostly at an easy pace, with two rounds of hill repeats in the middle. Each round was 4 x 2 minutes (2minutes uphill max effort,3 minute recovery), 10 min base pace run, then repeated 4x2min hill work.

I start each day with 20-30 min on the spin bike and then weights in the evening. This week starts 4x a week strength training alternating upper and lower body. Today was upper:

Row
Bench press
Lateral raise
DB pullover
Bicep curl
Tricep extension
DB shrug

35 minutes on the C2 rower this AM @ 2:27.9 pace/19 SPM and then 25 minutes on the AD Pro (Assault Bike) @ around 150 Watts. Had to cut the row short with increased stroke power and smoke in the air.

Today and tomorrow the wildfire is within 3 miles of my house. Started out 12 days ago 10 miles away and we have watched it gradually go from 200 acres to well over 10,000 acres with nearly 800 firefighters and Hotshots fighting it. Just heard Al Roker talking about it on the Today show in the other room as I work from my office. The entire mountain was glowing last night but they saved Summerhaven, a charming town on top Mt Lemmon. Summerhaven is the appropriate name. When it's 107 here on the ground in Tucson, it's a pleasant 75 up on the mountain in the heat of the Summer. I was up there last year for Father's Day. Lovely place.

Forest Firefighters are badasses! Amazing folks that don't get enough credit. Four have had heat stroke battling flames in 100 degree conditions with 50 MPH winds. The aircraft got grounded yesterday, should join back in today. Keeping my fingers crossed they can save that town.

Easy 45 minute spin on the bike trainer. Warmup spin, then 5 x 5 min blocks (3min aerobic, 1min high cadence, 1 min threshold), then cooldown.

I've moved the bike trainer out onto my patio to get a change of scenery and to get more acclimated to the heat.

I did an hour's yoga before breakfast.

I got a short walk over lunch, and a long one before dinner, getting 20,000 steps over the day.

I hangboarded in the evening, followed by pull ups. The hangboarding eventually went OK, although I failed a few things first time and got them second attempt. My max pull up reps unweighted was 15, which is OK by my standards.

Easy hour today. Didn't feel great (not terrible either) all day yesterday and work today not feeling great. It is my hardest session normally. Scrapped that and did 30 minutes on the LateralX and 30 on the Assault Bike.

REALLY smoky today. Should get better by the weekend. They are doing "backburns" today near my neighborhood to prevent the fire from coming down hill. Winds much better today, which will allow the DC 10s to work hard. Though it's not controlled, after today, it will head the other direction.

There's a young man in the Sub7 Virtual Rowing club that I participate in. Isaiah Harrison, a 16 year old American rowing phenom, is facing off today against Oliver Zeidler in a virtual World Competition. Zeidler is the number one German (23 years old) and the current singles World Champion (over the water -- real rowers). Harrison owns every male WR on the rower for his age class below 18. He's insanely good and going to be a huge American Olympic threat to win Gold in singles rowing at the next Olympics, dominated currently mostly by Europeans, Australians and New Zealanders. I wouldn't doubt he can beat Zeidler on the machine already. But it's not a real boat but Harrison is progessing really fast in the boat as well.

Why is this a big deal? It's been 100 years since the US had an Olympic men's champion in the single scull. Isaiah is destroying the youth and taking on the big boys at 16!

Fairly warm and humid this morning for my bike/run. Took a scenic route and went 1:55:00 on the bike (34 miles, 17.5mph ave), then a quick 2 minute transition into an easy 25 minute run. Now it's off to mow half the lawn while there is still some shade in the back yard.

Odd day. I only went one town further to pick up something I bought.. then decided to rent a bike at the station and cycled around for two hours. Those station rental bikes are..well.. about 20kg, very deep bar thus not very stable, pedal breaks that don't work properly and no gears. I didn't cycle a lot, but it's not really fun to use them anyway.

Tonight at 20:00 I suddenly thought: oh heck, lets get the race bike and go on a little trip. Not super far or fast, but I mainly cycled through forest - not every path really that suitable for a racebike. Came back at 22:00. But yes, that was a lot more fun than the bike earlier.

I ran for about 10 minutes in the morning, then hopped on my stationary bike for another 10 minutes. In the afternoon I did some back squats and burpees.

Climbed yesterday.

The full session was:
Non-climbing warm up
Dynamic stretches. Jump rope. Band stuff. Low effort pull ups. Low effort hangboarding.

Climbing warm up
4 easy routes. I gradually increased the difficulty, so actually fell off the fourth one my first go. I got it next time.

Power moves
I practiced big dyno moves with large jumps.

Projecting
I tried a route that is way too hard for me. I am making slow progress. I got the first move, and my fingertips are on the hold for the next move.

Leg work
Pogo practice (swing a leg off the wall to generate momentum to jump to the next hold). Dropped knee practice - do a drop knee each move. Nominate a dead leg, and go up the wall without that leg touching the wall

Warm down
Light weight stuff targeting the forearm flexors and extensors, to try to avoid tendonitis.

It was 2 and a half hours in total.

Did an easy paced woods run this morning. Just over 5 miles in 80 minutes. We walked/climbed the steepest parts and sections with heavily exposed root growth, then ran the rest of it. It was an easy and fun recovery effort.

Wasn’t feeling all that awesome, been dealing with a sore neck/headache for a few days. Figured I’d run for as long as I could and just stop when I couldn’t go anymore. Ended up doing the full 5K in record time for me (34:20). So go figure...

Did 60+ push-ups, 20+ chin-ups, and some core work for a finisher.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, too!

Went on a little cycle ride this afternoon , which got a bit longer. But anyway, nice ride despite the strong wind.

In the evening I did my foam rolling and yoga/stretching routine. My much tighter right side is getting much more flexible than left for some reason. I finally managed to get into a proper pigeon pose (proper form, compared to the thingy on the front page of the app), and then did my front splits routine. Right to the front also gets quite a bit deeper down than left now. I was so surprised by that that I nearly jumped out of the splits

I did an hour's yoga just after breakfast. Then, after lunch, I did a 10 mile walk.

Finally, in the evening, I did a quick climb. This was deliberately less structured than the previous day - it was supposed to be active recovery rather than full on intensity. Naturally, I got bored of climbing easy, and ended doing some silly max effort stuff towards the end. I concentrated on using the lower quality holds more than I normally do. This was quite short - just 80 minutes or so in total.

I've not been posting as I went off schedule. I'm still moving about just not on a program for now. It's too rigid (although effective) and my brain needs flexibility right now.

Today's morning workout: 90 min of running, squatting, push-upping, tricep dipping and stair climbing about my neighborhood like a mad woman.

If it cools down before dark, I may go out again but focus on lower body resistance sans cardio 💁🏿‍♀️

MikePfirrman

Another 30 minutes on the LateralX and 30 on the Assault Bike. All pretty easy stuff. I've resigned myself to the fact that I likely won't row much until the wildfires are completely out. It's been extremely smoky outside and not worth it to row. Couldn't even swim this weekend the smoke was so bad.

Shouldn't complain but the wildfires are burning up pretty much the entire Santa Catalina's, a national treasure and one that we cherish in Tucson. The pines won't likely recover in my lifetime. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I think it is when all said and done but I'm not real optimistic. Good news is no lives or homes have been lost but the alpine pine trees and saguaros (that can live 100 years) have been decimated. You'd have to live here to understand, but we get super hot in the Summers -- like 103 to 107. But you always knew you could drive up the mountain for an hour and it would be 70 degrees and you'd feel like you're in Colorado, not the Sonoran Desert. Much of that slice of heaven is gone, so it's been a bit depressing for us all here. 1000 firefighters now working on it -- really at this point not to put it out but to let it burn itself out or control it away from structures until we get rain in mid to late July.

Longer than average run on a very warm central Florida morning.

Finally did a proper full body strength session again, basically the Reddit RR. It wasn't pretty, but it was a lot of fun. In the evening my arms and backs started to hurt (trying to do negative pull-ups without having the muscles for it is tough on your arms) and so I did another hour of my foam rolling, massaging, yoga and stretching routine. This time without proper splits attempts because my legs need the break after the earlier workout.

Ran 4 miles in the southern heat and humidity. When will I get used to it??

alexmose

Upper on PHUL and a very quick upper/core circuit. And 13K steps I am tired but good to get back in routine
