Skipped my indoor trainer session in favor of an easy outdoor ride with a couple friends who are newbie cyclists. Beautiful night to ride along the river while watching the fly fisherman. We spent 1:45:00 covering 22 miles at a social pace (13mph). All fun, no pain.
Back to the lap pool tomorrow.2 -

Lol.. thanks! It's a relatively new thing for me! I've done yoga for years, but took an impulse water yoga class while visiting some hot springs back in May, and i was hooked. Gives the word balance a whole new meaning when you're in the water!

After 4 hours of what I would concider strenuous activity: non stop at work: getting my (new to me) art class set up with desks, tables, chairs shelving units.. paints, supplies and more supplies.. and cleaning top to bottom... classes start in just a couple weeks!! .... i then went home and all i could think of was relaxing in the pool..
That never happens though.. i cant help but swim when i get in. (Which actually is relaxing for me, in a way..)

Been taking the week off. Pretty sure I had Covid. Daughter and wife came back not feeling well from trip to Ohio. Daughter's boyfriend tested positive, daughter negative. He had same exact symptoms I did. Went from headache to body ache to chest within three days. Mostly just tired now. Other symptoms all gone (thank you Pfizer). The Friday workout, where I felt off, was a big red flag.
After that easy workout on Tuesday, I had to sleep for nearly 20 hours. Taking the rest of the week off. Glad I was fully vaxxed. What could have been ugly has just been a small nuisance.4 -
Zumba Max dvd I love to dance 💃💃2

Was planning on taking it easy today due to first dose of Pfizer yesterday, but had more desks, tables and art supplies to haul in and out of the studio all morning at work. And since the studio is on the lower level of the art center, i got in about 20 flights of stairs making trips up and down while i was at it.. im counting that as a workout!😁
Lastly.. it was another hot day after work so needed to cool off in the pool.. but my arm feels a little soar today, (guessing from the shot)..so only 30 min. Of light swimming.2 -
Wednesday is my peak for the week so after yesterday’s 4 mile 40 min run with a rough night sleep I did an easy 2 miles with 20 min of elliptical this afternoon. Some yard work afterwards. Ready for better night sleep tonight.2

I had a huge scare after the first shot (not being one to take it easy
). I had the Pfizer one too and tried a harder row on the rowing machine a couple of days after. Had exercise induced asthma and couldn't breathe for a minute or two. Was coughing so bad that my HR wouldn't drop. Was scary as hell, to be honest.
Good news is they are saying (I likely have Covid now) that the best protection you can have is two jabs and then catch Covid, not that I'd recommend it! I'm bulletproof now!
Was planning on working out tomorrow, but was up all night again with a headache and today it's slightly in my chest again. This is like cycle two of the same symptoms, just moving faster from stage to stage and not lasting nearly as long.3 -
Morning did some interval training and ran a 5K1
-
Very humid during last night's run. 65minutes. Starting with 10 min warmup pace, then 3 x 16 minute intervals (8min hard, 7 min harder, 1 min recovery), then cool down jog.
Bike this am was a series of cadence ladders plus some plain old endurance outputs. 3 x 12min cadence ladders holding 170 watts at various rpms 65-70, 60-65, 55-60, etc. Finished with 10min@140watts and 5 min cooldown.
Endurance to race pace swim on the training plan for tonight. Will probably substitute a long open water swim, since Sunday's forecast is for heavy rain from tropical storm Henri.

Switched from pool to open water swim last night: did a slow 3,100 yds as an "out and back" on my local lake. Starting to feel less anxious about the IM swim next month.
Today was a bike/run session. Bike was simple endurance work, trying to keep HR and power in check while staying ahead of nutrition/hydration in the heat and humidity. Covered 82 miles in 5 hours, @ 16.29 mph. Run was an easy 30 minutes off the bike.
A focus for these last few weeks is to practice and tweak fueling on the bike in order to avoid depletion before starting the marathon. Goal is to replace half of the calories expended on the bike during the ride. Strategy is: First two hours - mostly solids: waffles, bars, Second two hours - mostly liquids: Skratch Super Fuel, etc, Third two hours - mostly gels. Electrolytes, water are consumed in parallel. Precision Hydration 1500 electrolyte powder in water, etc.
Hurricane Henri supposed to hit Connecticut tomorrow. That probably means a rest day for me, unless I can sneak in an early pool swim and run.

25.28 miles on the bike this morning @ 13.4 mph avg (a good pace for a hybrid). My longest ride of the season.
Yesterday was just an active walking day, spent with the wife and daughter doing family stuff.3 -

Shameless digression: Could we please post the bolded on the next "sugar is evil" thread? 😉
I appreciate reading everyone's workouts, for the vicarious enjoyment. I'm still on post-surgical "no exertion" orders. (Surgery went well, healing going OK, won't know final results for weeks/months, though.)
I took a couple of walks, one of which included a "reflexology path" with bumpy rocks to walk on barefoot, in various specified ways. None of that seemed like something I could count as a workout. 🙁 I think/hope I can start biking/rowing again sometime next week.
Please carry on. I'll just watch, for now.2 -

Glad to hear that your recovery is going well. It is tough to be sidelined, especially when you feel ok!
Re: Your "sugar is evil" comment, once glycogen is depleted, its generally game over, a.k.a. "bonking".3 -
This morning was a 26 kilometre bike ride.
The afternoon was a walk (with a tiny bit of running) up a very steep bush track (200 metres elevation gain in about a kilometre) and a run back down via a different track - a bit over 4 kilometres all up.3 -

Exactly!1 -
@AnnPT77 glad the recovery is going well!
Friday
Lifted, doing 3 sets of 8, squat, 70 kgs
3 sets of 5, deadlift, 110 kgs.
Saturday
I visited my parents for the weekend. That is why I didn't climb last week, as I was self isolating (my dad is in the high risk category.)
It was great seeing them. I did a morning walk with my brother and mum, and afternoon walk with my brother. I got slightly over 12 miles in.
Sunday
A repeat of yesterday, getting 12 miles in.
My dad is pretty frail at the moment - he had a fall on a short walk. Getting old sucks donkeys' balls.3 -
Did weeding today and walked the dogs yesterday. Did a lighter 2K today on the rower. Feeling better, not 100% yet.4
-
Morning ride - 15.54 miles @ 13.5 mph average.
Yesterday was an active family day, we had one of the grand daughters over for the day, so spent the day baking cookies and doing other family stuff.2 -
