    Gym last night at PF. Same routine as normal -- 8 sets of chest, legs, shoulders (compound movements), mixed in some abs and back extensions. Ended with around 8 minutes of Stairmaster at a pretty rapid clip.

    Was just turning last night to walk down the steps and had a sharp pain in my right knee. It was sore, but just a bit, when I woke up. That's my knee that I was told 15 years ago needed a total knee replacement and normally doesn't hurt me, so that's something I'll monitor pretty closely. Hoping to put off replacement as long as possible.

    10K before lunch. Had another contractor over to give me a bid and had to cut it a bit short.

    A stressful day today: a morning of work meetings followed by a two hour job interview with case study in the afternoon, with barely time for lunch.
    I planned to do a long run before dinner, but my lack of food intake or perhaps general fatigue probably got to me.

    So I ran 6.5km in 48:36 with two walking breaks.
    And then, to compensate for the shorter run, 1947m on the Concept 2 in 10min.
    That's me wiped out for today!

    Yesterday was a rest day (by choice) and today turned into a rest because of storms most of the mirning.

    6.8k in 3-seat of the quad. (I like being in the engine room: yay!) We got some decent splits, for our average age (around 60-61) at steady state (i.e., sustainable easilyfor the duration of each piece, which are about 1/3 the total distance, 1/2 the distance, 1/6 the distance, rounded (or thereabouts) - we go continuous dock upstream to bridge, take a short water break at the spin, go continuous down to the other bridge, another spin/water break, back to dock.).

    5.09 mile walk after, still in 50F-ish temp, and in Fall gloom with what I'd call . . . large grain humidity, I guess? Mist? Dunno. 3.4mph moving average, regardless.

    Resistance training focused on core, glutes and legs along with some upper body sets as preparation for the coming ski season (yay). Then 30 minutes on the Stairmaster.

    Gym session this morning was similar to Tuesday: Balance, core, stability, some weight work. Between rounds, we rand up & back down a flight of stairs 5 times.

    I could run up the stairs fine, but my left hamstring didn't like coming down the stairs, so I opted for a minute on the assault bike between rounds.

    Today I ran 5km in 37:10, much easier than yesterday's run, fortunately.
    Interesting to see that Runalyze never gives me more than 24hrs of recovery time after my runs. But it also projects ridiculously fast race times, so not sure how reliable it all is.

    Judo class tonight! I'm finally feeling 100% after my strongman contest this past Saturday and I'm looking forward to getting back to work.

    I am back from Norwich again. I was reasonably active there, but missed climbing. Mum's biopsy was negative, fortunately.

    I went for a climb this evening. It was good, I got around 6 of the ones graded at 6a/6b. It was a pretty short session - about 70 minutes. I gave a lift to a mate who is more out of practice than me, and got pumped.

    7600m on the rower today. Had planned 12, but the right fingers were very sore, like a bone bruise. When you row, you hook four fingers (not the thumb) around the handle. It does take a bit of getting used to and normally this is not an issue for me but today, for whatever reason, it was painful so I just called it a day.

    You have to know when to listen to your body and tomorrow is a hard lift and row. Not as much volume rowing, so it shouldn't bother the hand as much and then I take Saturdays as my rest day.

    I'll tape the fingers that are sore next week if necessary. Not a fan of gloves while rowing. They just get sweaty and nasty.

    Last day of light-ish (65% of 1RM) lifting before jumping into my new program on Monday. Today its deadlift and OHP day.

    Judo class was alot of fun last night, but I can definitely tell my cardio took a hit lol. Fortunately it always comes back pretty quick, and I plan to incorporate more cardio into my training.

    Day 38 of EPIC I - killer upper body workout

    Supersets in the garage gym, then 6 X 2 minute intervals on the LateralX and Assault Bike. Skipped the rower today. Right middle finger is swollen and sore. All I can think of is the KB swings at the gym might have injured it. Not terrible pain but might work off the rower for a few days. Hurts much worse when I row.

    Around 600 calories for around 50 minutes of total work.

    Shorter version of my usual workout for my strength training today:
    2 sets landmine deadlifts
    2 sets barbell bench press
    2 sets cable lat pull-down
    2 sets barbell shoulder press
    2 sets cable rows
    1 set Bulgarian split squats
    And then some hanging exercises, still trying to build up to pull-ups.

    A 5k run and yoga 🧘‍♀️

    A bit of a milestone for me today, I ran a full hour at 8kph (and the last bit even 9kph)!

    That's the goal I set for myself two years ago when I started running. I started jogging on my treadmill at 6.3kph - while still obese - in November 2019, but it would always show up as an 8kph run in my MFP diary. So I wanted to be able to run at that speed and keep it up for an hour, to consider myself a 'real' runner and to no longer be a liar in my synced workouts on MFP.

    I finally did it. And the best part is that I'm not even particularly tired 😎

    Another "was that a workout?" workout. Rowing club had a Halloween party, snacks, then around 6k of barge rowing as it got dark (then more snacks 🤣). It's like rowing your living room, but it is fairly energetic activity.

    I sat port side stroke (in the barge there are two strokes, one on each side). Most of the club folks are good scullers (two oars per person) but don't have much sweep experience (one oar per person, so a bit different oar handling). My friend J. and I were stroke pair, because we've done so much more sweep than the others.

    I took over the rudder for a short time, so the rudder woman could row a bit (she has major joint issues, upcoming surgery, so didn't want to row the whole time), so maybe only 5k for me.

    For the amusement of people who understand rowing: When we were all rowing hard (9 people, 5 starboards, 4 ports), we were getting about 4:50 splits. When I took over the rudder, I called a power 10 - that got the pace down to around 4:30 per 500m. 🤣🤣🤣 This craft has no prow: It's just a big rectangle.

    I didn't do a serious costume, just wore one of my old eccentric T-shirts some Boston rower friends had made up. Back says "RoHo", front says "Any Boat. Any Seat. Any Time." That, and my "Team Evil" cap, created by my first rowing coach, who was fondly (very fondly!) known as "Coach Evil".

    A fine time was had by all.
