    Wanted to get one of my two timed tests (for my indoor rowing club) done today. The "Rugby Test" -- some brutal row that some sadist thought out. 1K, 3 minutes rest, 750m, 2:30 rest, 500m, 2 rest, 250, 2 rest and then 750m, which just destroys you like a cruel joke.

    Last time I did it, I average 1:56.6 two years ago. Today was 2:00.3. Wanted to do sub 2:00 pace but just died on that last 750m. Higher drag factor than normal, so that might have contributed a bit.

    Gym tonight.

    I have stayed reasonably active for my time in Norwich, relying on walking, hangboarding, kettlebells and the odd run. (I'm staying out of gyms in a vague attempt at self isolation to protect Mum.) My logging here has missed quite a few sessions, though.

    My average step count over the last week has been 25,000 per day. Yesterday was kettle bell(24 kgs, swings and get ups), hangboarding and 33,000 steps. Today has just been kettle bells so far.

    Back on the bike today - 19.5 miles @ 13.7 mph average.

    Yesterday was a bike rest day, but I did get in several sets of lunges and push-ups to get some exercise in for the day.

    After yesterday's disappointing time on my timed row, I decided I really need to get back more to controlled work on my easy days. Did a nice and slow 11K on the rower on the deck today. Was pleasant outside with a breeze.

    HR never got above 70% of max, which is what I strive to do. Very hard for me to do that on anything over 6K, but I went out really slow and controlled, which I think made all the difference.

    Taking off tomorrow. Have to drive down to Mexico for some dental work. They have state of the art clinics right across the border for like 1/3 of the price of American dentistry. Most Tucson people go there for their dental work. You just park, walk across the border and it's right there. I also enjoy the shops there, so I'll do some walking around.

    Quite a busy day today: dentist then work till nearly 7PM.
    While BF prepared dinner, I went for a run: 4.5km in 34 minutes. It didn't go very well, my legs weren't cooperating very well, but instead of aborting, I threw in some walking intervals.

    About 7500m rowing bow in the double, very low energy (slept like &%*#), skipped the usual walk after, subsequently home being a bump on a log. Pfizer vax #3 tomorrow (I'm 65), so we'll see how I feel after, may or may not work out.

    First real exercise in ten days. Took my bike outside for an hour spin along the river. About 15 miles of no heavy work, just smooth pedaling. Felt pretty good.

    From my MapMyWalk app log...

    3.69mi Interval Training, Run

    3.69 Distance(mi)
    13:33 Avg Pace(min/mi)
    50:01 Duration
    452 Calories(kcal)
    70.2 Elevation Gain(ft)

    It's actually a walk/run for now. I'm working on getting fit enough to run the entire distance, then eventually increase the pace. Recently got to to the point of running the first mile non-stop, at a rather slow pace (11:47 min/mi), but it's much better than where I was 6 months ago! :)

    I did a light spot of hangboarding before lunch, and a walk and run on the beach at lunch. It was nice - the seals were out in force. I went for a quick dip (in my underpants, due to not packing swimming trunks), but didn't last long. I seem to feel the cold a lot these days. I am currently on 23,000 steps, so it has been non-sedentary so far.

    Sounds like great progress.

    I find a run/walk very helpful. A number of people in my training group use a 4:1 run/walk on many of our long runs. The 1 minute walk allows heart rate to come down and you can gather yourself for the next 4 min run block. Then, you tell yourself " I only have to hang on for 2 more minutes" when you start to tire during the four minute block. :)

    Another hectic day at work (at home) today. I did a treadmill run before dinner: 6.5km in 50 minutes, no walking breaks.
    My legs were still feeling heavy (probably from strength training two days ago), but glad to see my heart rate only went into Z4 for five minutes or so.

    Took the dog with me for a first "run" since race day. It was an easy effort along a 2.5 mile hilly trail through the woods and along a pond. Walked most of the hills, then ran the flats and downhills. No worries about pace, HR, or distance. Decided to quit after just one loop. I can still feel some residual fatigue, so no reason to do anything intense this week.

    Looking forward to a group bike ride on Saturday.
