I'm back after a week break to spend with my kids. First time I've had all 3 of them together in a year, so I wasn't working out. Just enjoyed the time with them.
Back at it today -- 10K on the rower outside. Was supposed to be Steady State but way too high of a HR so I just turned it into an AT workout. Not real fast but I'm supposed to do a 10K TT this month, so I'll keep that one just in case I don't do any faster. I think it was like 2:20/19 SPM, but HR was like 160 average and hit over 180 at times. I'd like to get closer to around 2:12 or so.
Just some simple whole body circuits. Intensity was overall lower, but I know from previous experience that it's going to ebb and flow a bit until I find the midpoint between "pushing too hard and making myself sick" and "I could do better".
Moving! I carried boxes out to my car, then carried boxes into our new place. Not too much fun. I would rather have been at the gym listening to music. I will be glad when it is all moved. We have too much stuff.
Evening team erg. 12 x 250m full pressure (100%)/3' rest. After the 11th one I felt like I might be sick and after the 12th I was thinking to myself "so if I pass out..."
Really easy 50 min "foundation" ride in Zwift's FTP Builder program. A nice contrast from yesterday's erging. To put it in perspective, my highest HR this evening was essentially the average HR for yesterday's recoveries, and I wasn't moving for most of those recoveries (outside of the very heavy breathing...).
I took my kids to the skating rink and I skated as well, for 1 hour. We would have stayed longer, but it was packed, and we left early after my oldest son hurt his tailbone falling to avoid another fallen skater, AND a woman was taken down by a small, very fast child. I think that woman might have broken her wrist!
Apart from my usual wake-up in the morning stretches/warm-ups...
Went to the gym, did my warm-ups before meeting with trainer
90 min strength training + HIIT + BFR
Cool-down
And spa...
I went bouldering yesterday, and smashed it in a 90 minute session. I got pretty much everything I tried, except for 1 overhang out of the cave at the end.
I went bouldering today. This was a 2 hour training session, and it was brutal. We ended on a 5 minute plank, which hurt like hell.
I then went swimming, mainly because I wanted a hot shower, and my heating is broken. I did 1 km.
An hour and 7 minutes on zwift doing one of their tempo workouts. There was also some eye rolling from me as both of the ads that ran on my Chromecast while watching Youtube as entertainment were for, you guessed it, Zwift.
3 hours of pickleball from 10-1pm. Tonight I'll do some stretching and ab work. Might take my son to the gym tomorrow and do legs/shoulders plus 10 minutes on the treadmill to get the heart rate up.

3.2 extremely muddy miles at parkrun with a friend. It was like running through slippy treacle and we did well to stay upright and not lose a shoe

I also got in 15000 steps.
