Caroline Girvan Day 2 of Complex series: 40 minute upper body workout (arms, shoulders, chest back)

ccrdragon

50 minutes spin bike - sprint intervals
10 min warm/10 min cool
15 x 1 min sprint/1 min normal

Don't know what the other riders consider a sprint... for me a normal cadence is 80, so the sprint was a cadence of 120 minimum.

A 30 minute walk/run. I added 1 minute to my run! I’m getting there slowly! 😃

120 is a nice high cadence! I like to spin at an 85-90 cadence, but anything over 110 is close to top end for me. I can hit 120-122, but it leads to bouncing in the saddle, so I don't sustain it.

Took my tender hamstring for a test run after two weeks off. It felt fine during an easy paced 40 minute run. No need to push, as this is just off season stuff.

Gym work with trainer this morning. She continues to focus on my weaknesses, particularly balance and limited range of motion. She's also pushing me in areas related to swimming, such as with lat pulldowns and hanging work. While a bit humbling, its also very exciting, because I should be in a much better position next spring after we focus on these areas this winter.

I’ve been getting that overtraining feeling the last few days. So today, we’re having the most beautiful day of light rain.

7 mile hike through the hills.

I did my usual Elliptical but did more time than what I've been doing (2.5 hours). Did 3 hours 10 minutes today. It came to 15 miles. I was watching a movie part ways through then started the next of the series and figured I would finish it. Hoping to drop tomorrow into the 170's.

Did 210 minutes (3.5 hours) on my Elliptical this AM. I got to 15.25 miles. I do this straight through in the AM, before eating, on my days off. Do so long to makeup for no time to exercise on my work days. Also FINALLY broke the 180 barrier! 179.2 lbs today!

Injured finger was feeling better, so I attempted the 4 X 2K meter row again (with 3:30 rest between). Not pretty time wise -- 2:12.3 average pace -- but I finished it. Even for Tucson in November, it was a pretty hot day. Very little breeze and around 80 at lunch today. I was around a second and a half slower than my time two weeks ago.

I did push it, though. HR hit 93% and 94% max on last two intervals. Roughly 830 calories for the hour, including cool down and putting the rower away.

Gym lifting tonight. Will likely take it a tad easier there. That 4 X 2K is brutal.

Elliptical forever.... (50 mins)

Lietchi

Long run tonight: 8.6km in 1h01min, starting at 8kph, then 9kph and 10kph at the end. And now some Ben and Jerry's 😁

ccrdragon

Spin cycle - 50 minutes
Steps tonight:
5 min @ 80, 90, 100, 110, 120
10 min @ 100, 90, 80

Just to see what I had left in the tank, at 48 minutes I did a 30 sec sprint @ 150 (had to hold myself down on the bars but I pulled it off)

Tomorrow I should be able to get out on the real bike again.

I used to be an insufferable gym rat, but now I have health issues that slow me down. I go for walks in my neighborhood and do qi gong. I've recovered to the point that I can comfortably walk for 3/4 mile at a time, which is a huge leap from when I first got sick a few years ago. I'm crossing my fingers for the day that I can kick *kitten* in the dojo again.

Edit: I just noticed that the website automatically edited my word for derriere to "kitten." For the record, I do not kick kittens. I actually volunteer with a local cat rescue program. I love animals!

Stationary bike for around half an hour, moderate pace, mostly Z3 . . . I think. Can you tell where I turned my tracker around from the outside of my wrist to the inside?🙄🤣

I'm not sure whether I've just gotten too suntanned/freckled, or what: This used to seem to work. Lately, the chest belt is giving me readings sometimes (suddenly) that seem way too high; the wrist monitor sometimes reads way too low. I feel completely normal, so I think it's the devices, not my actual heart.

Temps were in the high 60's here yesterday, so I left work early to join two friends for a bike ride before dark. We knocked out 25miles @ a 17.4mph moving average. It felt great to ride outdoors for one of the last times this year.

Practiced twenty minutes of yoga this morning. No bike or run tonight, just leaf blower duty. Right now, the fallen leaves are winning.

ccrdragon

The weather and my schedule finally cooperated this morning - about 58 degrees, so a great morning for a ride outdoors... 17.86 miles @ 13.3 mph avg, total of 80 minutes on the bike. Didn't know how hard I would be able to push after doing the spin bike late yesterday, but everything felt good, so win-win!

dethstar77

Pushed myself to do a sub 30 minute 5K. First one in a while...

Been doing back to back Bootcamp this week and walking over lunch. Have my Styku scan tomorrow to see what 6 weeks of bootcamp has done 🤞🤞

Today is a yoga day. Instead of my normal hatha or vinyasa yoga, I mixed it up with a yoga fusion class that had some pretty challenging (for me) body weight strength training. Wow. I was feeling cocky lately that I've been getting in better shape and this knocked some reality into me. lol... I had to modify quite a few things to get through it. This class was really out of my comfort zone. Guess I'll have to throw it into the rotation more often. Challenge accepted.

(P.S. For anyone that cares: I'm using yogadownload.com. It's got a great mix of all types of yoga and you can sort by type, time, intensity, and teacher. Not all of it is free, however.)

Tuesday's double workouts take a toll on me, so Wed is easy recovery day. I did around 55 minutes of cardio (32 or so on the rower and the rest on the LateralX today). Finger got just a tad sore from yesterday so not all of it on the rower. All under 70% max and most all of it under 65% max.

Lietchi

A shorter run today, in the time I had left before dinner: 5.05km in 35min37, mostly Z3. Nice to see my effective VO2max (as per Runalyze) increase to 36, not as high as the 43 my Garmin gives, but an upwards trend is all I'm looking for, I know I'm not a natural athlete 😁

Another kickboxing day
