What Was Your Work Out Today?

Friday
Climbing
This was OK, I actually got a proper dyno. (I am rubbish at dynos.) My balance-y slab stuff was nicely controlled.
Saturday
Diving
A quick quarry trip a friend wanted to test his kit. Visibility was poor, at some points I couldn't see my computer (which is on my wrist). I had the neck seal on my drysuit replaced, which was successful, and so this was the driest dive I've had this year
Sunday
Climbing coaching. This was good fun, we looked at footwork on slab and if I could climb without my hands. I did a 10 mile walk afterwards.2 -

That sounds like a great routine. Though Stairmasters are a point of contention with me. I see people ruining their shoulders on those things. If you use a Stairmaster, make sure you're not having to grind through it. If you are putting all your weight on your arms (I see it all the time at the gym) in order to keep up, you're going too fast for your ability. A Stairmaster should be something where you hold on for safety/balance, not to prop yourself up. 20 minutes, with good form, on a Stairmaster is great.
I did just 40 minutes yesterday but had an active day. Did 20 on the rowing machine and 20 on the Assault Bike. Also got in the pool and swam for a while and went to TopGolf and hit balls with my family (my son's in town, so we have both kids this week -- a nice treat).2 -

Nice swim work. Thinking I'd really struggle if I attempted water yoga!2 -
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!

Warmup drills, then 10x50's and 4x 400's. 2650 yds total.2 -
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..)
So .. 45 mins. Assorted laps.. breast, side, and back strokes...2 -

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.
