    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 was supposed to be a rest day because of appointments but I made it to a yoga class this morning 😊

    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.

    One of those days where you don't feel like working out. Wife wanted to go to a bar last night, on a whim after dinner, and it was close enough to the UofA that it was a nice mix of all ages. Band was amazing and we were up WAY past our normal bed times! Got to let my wife get that wild side out occasionally!

    Did 6K this morning and 25 more minutes on the Assault Bike, all pretty easy recover pace.

    Had a nice day for a fall group ride, so 7 of us headed out this morning. Nobody in the group is race training currently, so it was an easy paced ride that included a few stops for pictures. We rode a 56 mile out and back route at just over 16mph. Climbing was modest at 2800 ft of elevation gain.

    Colors were either at or just past their peak. We just won't get many more 65 degree days to ride this fall!

    Stayed active all weekend doing chores around the house, baking stuff for Halloween (we had family over), running errands, etc.

    Got up this morning and did a brisk 18.4 miles @ 13.4 mph avg. Will be doing upper body stuff later today.

    I spent the weekend "dry" caving in the Medips in Somerset. It was really good fun - I ended up joining the caving club. We did a very small portion of Swildon's Hole on Saturday and a bit of GB on Sunday.

    I was filled with energy on getting home, so went to my local climbing gym. I should have checked online - it was shut when I arrived. So I went for a walk instead.

    I got a short 40 minute training climb on my home wall over lunch today.

    9K easy rowing today. Lovely day outside. Hand slowly feeling better.

    Finally figured out how I hurt it. I was letting an irrigation contractor through my side and the gate was broken by the pool guys. Wasn't too upset as it's an old gate anyway and planned on replacing it. But the inside bracket is out of the wall and the whole thing fell in and I hammered it with my hand. At the time, didn't think much of it. Funny how you forget how you hurt yourself at times.

    Dinner party today (lunch actually) at our house with some friends and their two kids.
    We went for a walk together before dessert, 5,5km just before this downpour came along:

    To offset all that food (the highlights being meatloaf, gratin dauphinois and sticky toffee pudding) I did a 4km interval session this evening on the treadmill.
