Vegging out today (I guess), so just the row: Little under 7k, rowing bow in the double. Here's a river view from my single, being rowed not by me, but by a friend (much younger than me!) who was part of a Big 10 championship team in her collegiate years. (She also has cute socks, dontcha think? 😉)
I think my boat likes her, because it gets to go fast, and elegantly. 🤩5 -
Long run this am. 30min warmup pace, then 20min tempo pace, 15min recovery pace, 20 min tempo pace, 10min cooldown. 1:35:00 total time, distance was just about 8 miles.
Swim was 2600 yds done in the lap pool. workout included a timed mile swim. Still haven't gotten to the open water, but maybe this week.2 -
Did something different today. 18 holes of golf with the wife and daughter. Probably walked 8 or so miles during it, even with a cart. Lots and lots of walking to find their balls. They are newer to golf.2

I am now on a bit of a tour of the South coast to get some dives in. The weather has been dreadful, but we got 2 on Saturday; 1 yesterday and 2' today.
The trip was scheduled to end on Friday, but we may carry on until Monday (which is a Bank holiday in England.)
We drive for 4 hours for today's dives, to get to somewhere sheltered the strong Westerlies.2 -
Hard workout day today. Supersetting for 35 minutes, then doing 500m rowing machine intervals. 800 calories on the hour. Set up the heavy rope today for the weight part of the session. Really drove the HR up nicely. Was hitting 90% of max on the last five weight supersets.2

I attempted to do a leg workout but got so weak I left the gym.....turns out I have a UTI
This makes me extremely sad as I have not lifted for a week and probably wont for another week.3 -
My workout so far today was walking two miles, later this evening I will be doing a circuit training video on YouTube. Nothing crazy but better than nothing. Lol2

* Rowed bow in the double 7864m (went upstream again to see the baby swan fluffkins before the weeds get too thick to tolerate, which is happening fast)
* Walked 5.25mi at 3.4mph. For variety, walked on a walk/bike trail at a park on the same side of town as the park where the rowing club is, with a nice mostly-wooded trail. I gawked more, took photos, even took an extended water break because it was too. hot. too. humid.)
* Strength trained 34'.1 -
Just started the Mens Fitness 8 week body transformation so a little basic today but throw in some cardio later tonight and it should be a good start. Good luck to anyone starting out , you have got this!!!3

This is a reduced volume week for me before the final three week push to race week.
Yesterday was my rest day. This morning I switched up my typical trainer ride by joining a spin class taught by a friend. It was fun to see some friends and spend an hour spinning with a group.RegroupResetGoAgain wrote: »Just started the Mens Fitness 8 week body transformation so a little basic today but throw in some cardio later tonight and it should be a good start.

Congrats on beginning a new program. Starting an 8 week program is a great way to begin (re)building fitness habits. Best of luck!3 -

Bootcamp today morning and probably a walk or run in the evening1
-
An hour of easy cardio. 34 minutes or so on the rowing machine outside on the deck (93 at lunch) and then 30 on the LateralX indoors in the A/C. All at 70% of less of max HR.
Tonight is Vinyasa rooftop Yoga. The instructor that I like is back tonight. Makes it much more enjoyable (or at least a lot more tolerable!).1 -
Goal was a slow 4k, about 1-2min/km slower than the target pace for my training plan. Well... I ran 0.03min/km faster than target 10k pace. Looks like my brains didn't get the briefing as I'm just so bloody restless at the moment. Mind you, I've not run that fast in probably close to 4 years. So I count it as a success. No idea though what this will do with my electronic running plan in the coming days and weeks.1

Thank you, there have been "false starts" before but this time feels different, being here and seeing so many others is truly inspiring as well

yoga and jumprope...2

boot camp in the morning.. will take an evening stroll...1

70 minutes bodyweight working, according to Reddit Recommended Routine. I'm finally able to do pushups again. Kind of as I only manage three in a row, and can't go all the way down with the arms. Actually, quite impressed with my Garmin watch, which gave me 170 calories, compared to 400ish with my old Fitbit. This might still be a bit too high, given the pauses, but not bad overall.2

Did 30 minutes of rowing machine, then 20 more of the Assault Bike. All easy stuff, but I have a really annoying blister developing on my right hand. I do not need that when I'm set to attempt a half marathon on the rower (not very confident, I know!). I do have gloves, but I hate using gloves on the rower. Just makes it where the handle doesn't easily slide between your fingers/hands. I'd rather row with calluses.
I'm starting to think I have an easier time with this AZ heat than my C2 rower handle does. Seems to melt a bit every Summer.0 -
soccer training and core workout , loved every second of both 2
-
Did an hour of cardio. 30 on the rower, then 30 on the on the LateralX. Too hard for an easy day, I'll likely pay for that later this week.
Tonight is golf league night. 2 1/2 hours of finding my wife's golf ball

6.44km slow run for my 10k timed running plan. So far so good.1

LOL, I"ve been there!!
Easy 55 minute run tonight. I love recovery weeks.1 -
Been taking it easy for a few days, partly weather, partly general recovery, partly experimenting to see whether a quad/hip kind of discomfort I've been having is likely muscle/connective tissue temporary/adaptive stuff, or some new wrinkle in arthritis or impingement or something. So, just minor stuff:
Tu, Th - around 30-40 yoga - stretch - foam roll.
W - lift.
No row/exercise walk/cycle. Weather's looking iffy for outdoor exercise tomorrow, like it was Wednesday, but I do have indoor options depending on how I feel. Will for sure row if the weather's adequate.1 -
Swim session this morning. 2400 yds, starting with warmup 200, some fist drills, then into 2 rounds of 6 x100's, with 15 sec recovery. Goal was to start @ moderate pace, then build to fast pace by the third 100 of each round. Finished with some pulling work using paddles/buoy.
Lots of rain in the forecast. Hoping it clears enough to ride outdoors tomorrow, rather than on the bike trainer.1 -
20 min stairmaster (100 floors)
3x10 leg press - 130 lb
3x20 jack knife
3x20 bridges
3x20 Med ball twist
3x12 lunges - 12.5 lb
26 min swim (1000 yards - 40lengths)
Wanted to swim longer but needed to get to work 1 -
Today is "pull" day lifting...pullups, BB rows, DB rows, etc. Big change will be doing it AFTER a day at the office, where my preferred is in the morning right after waking up, but due to my new desk job that's rarely going to be an option moving forward unless I get up obscenely early, which I can do every now and then but not as a normal way of life moving forward for the rest of my life.1
